I've got a D300 with a Nikon 18-200VR and 50mm F1.8.

I'm thinking that it is worth selling the 18-200 and investing in a better combination..

I am thinking:

Sigma 10-20 F4.5-5.6
Sigma 70-200 F2.8
Sigma 18-50 F2.8-4.5

The 10-20 is for rig shots mainly.
The 70-200 is both for panning, stationary and motorsport photography (would get a 2x convertor aswell in due time)
The 18-50 is a general lens which would get used the most probably.

Are there any better options for similar pricing?

my photography style can be seen on my website: www.gfwilliams.net (external link)

Thank you :)

One option: save your money and use what you already have. By all indications, the 18-200mm VR is a very good lens. (external link)

You have some nice images in your gallery. If you just want the other lenses, then get them. Personally, unless someone is paying you to shoot, I think you're doing great without them.

Problem sorted :D

I went and bought the 10-20 and 70-200 and kept the 18-200!

The 70-200 is an amazing lens :D
Rig is on it's way to properly test the 10-20 :D
