High magnification zoom
DT 18–250mm F3.5–6.3 SAL18250
Although similar to the SAL18200 in zoom range and performance, the
SAL18250 offers a bit more “reach” at the long end that can make a
significant difference if you’re shooting sports or wildlife, for example.
The tradeoff is a small increase in weight and size, but if you need the
extra range the difference is worth it. You get the same outstanding
clarity and contrast from the wide 18mm end to full 250mm telephoto,
making this lens one of the most useful and versatile for APS-C format
cameras and an extremely wide spectrum of subjects.

28–75mm F2.8 SAM SAL2875
If you use a 35mm full frame format camera body, this award-winning* lens
offers an ideal balance of brightness, zoom range and image quality for a
wide range of situations you’re likely to encounter in everyday shooting. The
fact that it features a constant, bright F2.8 maximum aperture at all focal
lengths offers significant advantages for hand held and low light shooting,
as well as for creating gorgeous defocused backgrounds. But you never
know when you might need to go a bit longer, so if there’s room in your
bag consider taking the 75–300mm SAL75300 along as well: the SAL2875
plus SAL75300 combination gives you a full-frame focal length range from
28mm to 300mm.
