As you can see (on the right) my birthday is approaching. Since people are used to give me presents and/or money on that day (I don't know why :P), I'll ask all of them to throw their money into one pot. Me'll throw some xtra coins into and afterwards I will try to swap that pot with a zoomlens somewhere. ;)
Could you help me a bit with finding the right one?
To make the shape a bit clearer the following information:
- me have Nikon D70s
- me want zoomlens >= 200mm
- me still n00b and no rich guy, so no need for Million-Dollar thingy ( <= EUR 300)
- me already have Nikon AF18-70/1:3,5-4,5G ED (so 17-80mm is clear ;))
- Tamron AF70-300 F/4-5,6 LD?
- Sigma AF 4,0-5,6/55-200 DC?
- Tamron AF 3,8-5,6/28-200 XR Di?
- Sigma AF 3,5-6,3/28-300 DG Macro?
- Tamron AF 3,5-6,3/28-300 XR Di LD?
- Nikon AF28-200 /1:3.5-5.6G IF-ED?
- special-secret-super-uber-tip?
- heeeeeeelp?
THANKS A LOT! :)

At a local local photo equipment store (Foto Gery -> www.foto-gery.nl) They had 2 Nikkors (200 and 300mm) which had the nice and fancy VR, seemed to be build stable, but for about EUR 330 and 530. Further they had the Tamron for EUR 179. My decision is based on the facts that I'm still a beginner, that the lens extends my kit-lens perfectly (kit: 18-70mm, tamrom 70-300mm) and that it also has a MACRO area (180-300mm). A macro lens was one of the things I would have liked to extend my camera with next. So why not the 2 in 1 solution.
Up to now I'm really happy with my decision. (Take a look at my last shots and you'll get what I mean :))

I own that lens since about 2 years and I love it...
If you look at my place, the spider as well as the eagle portraits and lots of them nightshot I've taken with this lens.
Lots of fun with it and always good light,
