[QUOTE="Rasmus, post: 69153, member: 8553"] I'm considering expanding my arsenal with a wide to normal zoom, and rather than getting the 18-55 kit lens, i'd go for one of the low light capable f/2.8's Price is a bit of a concern generally speaking though, the sigma and tamron versions run at a price roughly equal to 500 us dollars, while the nikkor version is 2000 dollars, so quite a noticelable difference. So, given that money is a factor to a certain degree(i'd rather use those 1500 on something else ideally) - would you say the nikkor is worth the price comparing to the other 2? for price comparison purposes, an average danish salary is around 2700-3000 us dollars after taxes, so 2000 is noticeable. Other than the money factor, how much better is the nikkor in your experience? I'm tempted to go for the tamron VC version, but try and convince me that the nikkor is a better buy :) Rasmus [/QUOTE]
