My God, I'm still waiting for mine!! I ordered on the 3rd January. I phoned Warehouse Express the other day and they said they are still having supply troubles and to sit tight but now i'm thinking that I really want to get a cheaper alterative to push me on. I mean a few weeks wait is ok and i can even stand a few months but this is getting ridiculous now.
So, given that at the moment I have a borrowed 50mm 1.8 prime and that I have the 18-200 VR coming (eventually) what lenses do you recomend? I was looking at getting something like a Tamron AF SP 11-18mm in the future to complement the Nikkor but for the time being as a stop gap i'm looking at something cheap and in the 70-300 mark. The group test in Digital Photo this month sugests the Tamron or the Sigma. Does anyone have any comment on either of those? Can anyone suggest maybe a different focal legnth and give me a reason why?
As I said this will be a stop gap to fill the void at the moment and will eventually act as a trade in on a big long prime but your recomendations are both greatly appreciated and hotly awaited!!
