DSLR Crew: Lenses sale: Don't know what to get
Hello guys,
Amazon is having a sale on sigma lenses for the Pentax stuffs.
I can choose between these
Sigma 18-50mm F/2.8 EX DC - $280
Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8 EX DG IF - $210
Sigma 17-35mm f/2.8-4 EX DG IF - $200
I want to upgrade by kit and keep on practicing.
I'm doing many of the indoors (interior & portraits) as well as outdoor scenic (landscape, building)
What would you recommend?
Thanks

you'll only need 1 of those lenses since they over lap so much. either the 18-50 or the 24-60

that's why I've been contemplating, at times, I feel like I need that wide angle, but I doubt the 17-35 would offer much.
The 18-50 looks like a good walk around lens. But doesn't give me that much zoom/closeup.
24-60 is a lil cheaper, but I'd sacrifice the wide angle.

thanks guys, 18-50mm it is I should've went with what I wanted first and not second guess myself
For $300, I don't think it's a bad upgrade for the kit lens, do you?
