GooG... Theres not really an "in between" price range for tele zooms. they are either cheap ($200 and crappy) or $800+ (crisp and amazing)

this is the closest to mid range you will find

its a good wide angle and you get a partial tele zoom. you wont get as close.. but this is a better quality lens...

VR= Vibration reduction

APO= sigmas crappy name.

they have no relation

You get what you pay for... I'm saving up for a 70-200 VR, and I've been using a 50mm 1.8 for now. I recommend you do the same.
