Sigma Tamron Nikon
What is the difference between Nikon name brand photo lens to Sigma and Tamron?
I am wanting to purcahse a 18-200mm lens for my Nikon D80 but the price difference between the 3 name brand lenses is crazy. I know there is a difference but is it that much to may so much for the name brand??
ONE difference that is really important between these lenses is that the Nikon 18-200 has "VR" or vibration reduction. This is serious technology that really works.
Here are some reviews on these lenses:
Nikon: http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/18200.htm
Tamron: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tamron/18200.htm
- seems to have problems with distortion
Sigma: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0502/05021402sigma18-200dc.asp (just an introduction)
Sigma vs. Tamron: http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7524 It looks like there is no contest with the Sigma being the clear winner between these two.
Popular Photography says of the Nikon 18-200 VR:
"Optically, this lens is the best superzoom we’ve seen, though it’s not compatible with Nikon teleconverters, extension rings, or coupled macro bellows. It also costs about $300 more than third-party digital-only glass. But are extremely rugged construction, unusually well-controlled distortion, and four extra handholdable speeds worth the extra bucks? That, and more."

Here are some of my own photos taken with the 18-200 VR lens, showing the versatility of the lens. These were all taken with the D200 and 18-200 VR lens.
