Really!! The nerve, I am a dog lover who also boards and sits my lil buddies. Humans speak and dogs bark that's what they do.

For sale Nikon D7100 excellent condition well taken care of 7 months old bought new from Cameta Camera shutter count 7995 with both caps, strap, battery and charger, selling because the wife wants her photos sent immediately so she is buying me a new 7200 body !!

$575.00 interested PM me.

I'm a Dg Boarder/Sitter so I shoot a lot of dogs and my pretty wife.

Probably because it is a piece of crap!! I had one for my 7100. It worked but it was terribly slow and it would drop the connection a lot so you had to go thru the entire connection again and again. Sent it back

Same here they are very good

Hey Craig thanks for the info. I really don't need much reach when i'm in the clubs mostly tight spaces so the 17-50 I think will be it. I think the constant would be best suited for the dark clubs. Ah the Village Vangard. We checked it out on a vacation to NY. I could feel the presence of Trane, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers (my favorite) and Miles Davis playing, We also checked out The Blue Note, The Apollo, Birdland and Smalls. Greatest vacation I ever had.

Thanks everybody for you answers to my question. Looks like I will go with the 17-50. I can check it out and if I don't like it I can always return it.

Hey Hoggers, I have been looking at reviews on the Sigma 17-50 and 17-70 for a while now and I thought I better check with you guys as I don't really trust some of the professional reviews. Most just sound like paid endorsements to me so I am asking the real life experts. I need a sharp, fast lens to use in low light and mostly tight spaces in night clubs, at parties, bars, restaurants, concerts and events. Currently using a 35mm 1.8 and 18-140( not so good in low light) on a Nikon D7100. The 35 is fine but a zoom would give me a lot more flexibility that I need. I am leaning to the 17-50 for the constant aperture and price. my budget is in the $400-$600 and I am looking for a new lens vs used or refurbished. The one reviewer I like is Tom Hogan and he says he uses the 17-50. Does anyone have or had this lens. Any info about it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I agree the zooms would more practical and flexible. Use both.

We just came back from Yosemite and used what I had D7100, 75-300,18-140 and 35 1.8. You really need as much reach as you can and try to not sacrifice too much sharpness. Next year we are going to Yellowstone with 300mm + 1.4 converter the 35 and 55-200. All in all we had a great time but all the smoke in the air did not do well for photos.

ah yea???

Maybe she should try the 18-140mm. A really good lens with some nice reach and sharpness

I did buy my 18-140mm from Cameta Camera for $269 refurbished with a 1 year warranty. Lens was in pristine condition but $299 is a good price

Sure it would. I used it on the entry level D3200. Sure it would work on any Nikon DSLR.

For anyone thinking to buy this lens.I have it too. An excellent "walk around" lens. Pretty sharp with good range. Not the best in low light.
