Sorry to post this to Silk. I know there are quite a few shutterbugs here and I would like to hear your opinions.
I currently have a Nikon N80 with Nikkor 28-105 f/3.5-4.5D and Nikkor 50 f/1.8. I am going to be buying a Nikon D200 in a couple of weeks. I think I can get the body for circa $1700. I am looking for a lens to go with this body. Several stores seem to be pushing kits including the Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED for a total of $2000. I do not have a lot of spare cash to spend on high-end lenses. The most i can probably afford is $500 for a decent middle-end lens. Based on my photography pattern[1], I think having a zoom that starts at wide angle makes sense to me. I probably will sell my 28-105 and buy a telephoto zoom later. My questions: 1. What lens under $500 would you recommend for the D200? 2. What lens would you recommend if money was not an issue? Thaths [1] http://lightbox.openscroll.org/ -- "Bart!
