Was looking to buy another lens or two for my Nikon D80.
I have a 18-55mm lens right now, but wanted to another lens to my arsenal.
Anyone used a Sigma or Tamaron lens?
I was looking at those two brands as well as a Nikon lens.
I shot all sorts of random stuff; portraits, family, landscape, blah(nekid women)blah blah.
Cheers,

I am someone who is prone to stick with the lens of the maker of my camera. However Sigma lenses are very popular and are of good quality.
I don't have a Nikon but for portraits I enjoy my 24-70L (canon).
Gives me a lot of range but wouldn't be a huge departure from what you already have.
Make sure you are getting enough of a difference from your current lens to get a lot of "bang for your buck".
Here is a pretty good thread to get you started.

Appreciate it.
I was going to stick with a Nikon lens, but someone told me to take a look at Sigma and Tamaron. Don't have any experience with either, so I thought i'd ask around.
Appreciate the links.

Ya know I always feel a little bit like a fraud talking up the gear too much. I have what I have and absolutely love it and am able to the stuff I want with it. I chose that lens for its ability to do a wide range of things and it has been good to.

No doubt the photo is the cause of the eye behind the lens, but good glass makes a difference. Photography, at its very basic, is bending light. You gotta have good glass to bend it well.

A great explanation of nekkid, from the late Lewis Grizzard.
"In the south there's a difference between 'Naked' and 'Nekkid.' 'Naked' means you don't have any clothes on. Nekkid' means you don't have any clothes on ... and you're up to somethin!"
