That is EXACTLY what I have now (in addition to my Oly C-740). The 10x Oly lens is equal to a 420mm.
The Sigma lens' only detractions can be ignored on the D50 as the image sensor is smaller that a 35mm film frame. All `edge deterioration' of the image becomes a non-issue. Furthermore the sensor then renders the 300mm to be equal to a 420mm lens and the 28mm is equal to 40mm. The `Kit' Nikkor lens (18-55mm) is equal to 25-77mm on a 35mm film frame.
I also have a Nikon N75 (F75 in UK) that has been faithful but I fear it is time to join the "21st Photographic Century". I am retaining my Tokina 17mm ƒ1:3.5 as it is still an excellent lens and will work on the D50 (24mm) as well as the N75.
I have sold off my other Nikon N75 as well as an N65 + many lenses on eBay.
The Oly will go to my daughter who is getting tired of her N65.
Anyone want to buy some Nikon 35mm equipment? I have a 100% feedback rating on eBay. PM for details and screen name.
