Hi,

I currently have a Sigma DC 18-200mm and I'm looking to upgrade this lens....any suggestions before I fork out ££.

do you mean you want to relace the sigma 18-200 with something better or something to add to it.
reason i ask is i have one in my bag and i cant believe how good it performs. it equalls anything i have apart from the Nikkor 12-24

for photojouralism i would think its a perfect choice but i can see the restrictions of one for landscape with the slight distortion you may get to horizons etc.

If you had said in the first place I would have just said the Sigma 10-20mm, unrivalled, assuming you have a crop sensor camera.
