Quantaray lens decent?
Hello,
I have a Nikon D70 that came with the standard kit 18-70mm lens. It recently took a plunge off my workbench and now I need a new lens. I thought I'd look at something along the lines of 18-200mm but hesitate at the cost of purchasing a Nikon lens when I have found a Quantaray 18-200mm for the Nikon DSLR's at half the cost. But, I am not familiar with Quantaray. Has anyone had any experience with their Digital SLR lenses? I'd love to hear some comments before I make a purchase. Thanks. -Cable |

Wouldn't be my first choice, probably my last.
If you can't afford the Nikon, consider first a Tamron and then a Sigma lens in the desired range you're looking for. Steve wrote in message ups.com...

Just for reference I ended up purchasing a Tamron 18-200mm lens for my
D70. I have had it for 5 days now and have used it a lot. So far so good. I have been happy with the quality. I paid around $400 for it while the Nikon equivalent is going for around $750. I feel I made the right choice. Thanks for the reply's to my original post. -Cable wrote: Hello, I have a Nikon D70 that came with the standard kit 18-70mm lens.

Well, It depends who they bought that particular lens from.
Years ago I needed a cheap 35-105 fro my F3. I bought one from Ritz in MD (at the time I was near Annapolis). It was a Makina made lens and was decent once I stopped it down a notch or two. Not on par with my Nikons but I neede an almost "disposable" lens and it fit the need.
