[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 25128, member: 16"] Heather, believe me when I tell you I completely understand budget constraints! :) I'm as frugal as they come when it comes to lens acquisitions. I have to be, being on a retirement budget. Having said that, your choices for a 300 lens are good ones. I went with the Nikon 55-300 because of the price and the lens quality. I love the pictures I get with it. See my shot in today's Critique forum for an example. Nothing wrong with the Sigma either. Both great choices for the budget conscious. Rick is absolutely right, though. If we all had our druthers, we'd all be shooting with 2.8 lenses or better! :) Life can be cruel sometimes, eh. :) I should have been born rich instead of so incredibly good looking. ;) [/QUOTE]
