Okay the Sigma 17-70 does wide and macro, which should put it on par with a 60 Macro, with exception of speed and likely some sharpness. How practical is it to use a 17-70 for wide and macro?
I notice the Ike port chart calls for a dome and there are notes that vignetting will occur if you use a flat port. The Ike Nikon port table does suggest that the 5510.28 on a Nikon will work with some vignetting.
From my reading I've noticed its either macro or wide angle, but not both. Does anyone have a reason. I ask because I'm just starting to research and understand what I will need to dive with my camera. Using a single lense seems to offer:

- No need to choose macro or wide angle, after all when the unexpected shot comes along Murphy sides with having the wrong setup.
- Having one rig that can do both would be less expensive initially. As money and experience increase nothing is lost by aquiring additional stuff, likely a 60 macro.
