I'm leaning towards getting the Sigma 18-250. B&H has them for $399 right now. However, there are two versions, the older non-macro version and the newer macro version. I've read favorable reviews of the newer version, but I'm wondering if the fact that it has a 62mm filter size vs a 72mm filter on the older version has a downside? I'm relatively new to digital, do some landscape/nature photography, and routinely use a circular polarizer in conjunction with an ND and worry that the 62mm filter size could cause vignetting at the wider end of the zoom.
Any opinions or advice appreciated.
