Whoops! 24-200 not 21-200. The lens can be IF and still extend while zooming, however not all non-if lenses extend while focusing, some not even while zooming....

My son has asked for the Sigma 70--300 lens for Christmas. But he admits that he hasn't had much chance to play with it. (There are NO camera stores where he...
If he doesn't need the 1:2 macro capability, look at the AF Zoom Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G. I have this lens and use it with the D70, I've had good results with...
I had the Sigma for some time, and had it for my Canon's before I switched to Nikon. Excellent lens, though, a bit bulky feeling. I switched to the Tamron,...
I think the new Tamron 70-300 Di macro 1:2 LD would be at least equally interesting for you. http://www.tamron.com/lenses/prod/70300_di_a017.asp I decided to...
"You will not find IF on any Nikon owned web site, package or instruction for this great deal in an f/2.8 zoom. It focuses full range in 1/2 on a D200 and both...

I bought the Sigma 10-20 to shoot in Russia. It performed well. Well enough for me to recommend. I have read the comments in this forum declaring the Tokina...
Anders, Tokina has now an even wider choice, a 10-17, but it is a fish-eye. http://www.tokinalens.com/products/tokina/atx107afdx-a.html It is very new, so...
... The Tokina 10-17 looks like a nice lens, it could be a nice extension to my Nikon 17-55 DX. Big question to me, however, is: is it a true 180 degrees FOV...
I have the Sigma too, really like it, and now it's available in a version that's been optimized for digital cameras, I'd say go with that, and from what I've...
Switching to Specs tab, I read: Angle of view:180° to 100° The same phrase about 180 degrees coverage can be found for the Pentax version: "...capture...
