Hi All,
I do lots of shooting outdoors and indoors about 50/50 mix. I have a max of 1500 dollars to spend on a lens, and I am trying to decide between the following two.
My Body is a d610
Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8D ED AF Zoom
and
Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 APO EX DG HSM OS FLD
The reason I'm considering the Sigma is because it has stabilization which the nikon does not (I can't afford the 70-200 Nikon VRI or II)
I know that the Nikon uses the camera motor for focus while the sigma has a motor on board. I keep reading how VR is needed in lower light or at 200MM and some places I read it isn't I'd rather not need a tripod all the time. If you guys had the choice to buy which one do you think is the best bet. It is a lot of money and I just want to make sure I can get the crispest photos. The nikon is a classic and been around forever and i heard someone knock sigma. I'm just not sure.
thanks in advance!
