advice on extended coverage for Nikon 16-85 lens
I am leaning toward ordering a Nikon 16-85 mm lens - before the prices go up as I understand they are scheduled for soon.
I was considering the Tamron 17-50 but am wary of all the comments I read about quality issues.
In lieu of going with Nikon for a hedge on quality control I am looking for advice on whether to consider the extended warranty to protect my investment. I know that Consumer Reports recommends against these warranties on general principle and I still have 2 Nikon SLR bodies and 3 Nikon lenses from the old days that I never had a problem with. However $600 is a lot of money to plunk down. Any suggestions or considerations?
Thanks,
Roy

I have seen a lot of posts to that effect. However I did extensive seraching for comments about it and I saw enough comments to make me feel more secure wuth the Nikon. This will be my principal lens for now and gives me more range at both ends.
