Re: Another lens help question
I've never tried the 18-200mm either, but I prefer both the 18-105mm and 16-85mm over it. Mostly because I find I like the longer reach of the 70-300mm for real telephoto use, and having both of those would be both a bank-breaker and a whole lot of pointless overlap. I like the 16-85mm plenty, but I'm still not sure how… -
Re: Another lens help question
I've been lurking for some time but this thread is in line with my current situation. I currently use a D40 with the 18-55 and 55-200 kit lens. I've had it for 18 months and have been getting good results but time to upgrade to a D90. Most of my shooting is when I travel on my motorcycle. With the D40 I always have to… -
Re: Another lens help question
I've heard many people are happy with the 18-200, although I've never personally used it. Thom Hogan prefers the 16-85 over the 18-200 because he likes the extra 2mm at the wide end more than the extra reach, for what that's worth. Although, if you're going to have the 10-20 to cover the wide angle, you might be happier… -

Re: Another lens help question
Neither the Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR ED nor the Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S ED VR II are perfect, and the latter is considerably more expensive and somewhat more versatile. The difference between the 105mm and 200mm maximum is nearly twice and the difference in FOV is considerable. For a pretty good review… -
Re: Another lens help question
While on a motorcycle trip I'll shoot everything from wildlife to landscapes to flowers. I like to have people in my shots so there is context but I want to be able to get decent shots of anything I see. If I see a moose I want to be able to quickly capture it. Lovely scenery I'll take more time (next trip a tripod is… -
Re: Another lens help question
For now I guess the way to go is the D90 kit with the 18-105mm lens and add the Sigma 10-20mm. This keeps me within my budget and allows me to play with the camera until I get a better feel for which upgrade to go for. I've been getting email notices from WalMart and Best Buy that the D90 kit is on sale but is listed as… -
Re: Another lens help question
I too think you should be able to set yourself up pretty well for $1600 and leaning towards the D90. I own a D90 and bought it as a kit with an 18-105 3.5-5.6 VR lens. I've been reasonably happy with this lens and the autofocus and VR work very well. This kit is available for $1100 in a few places. I've also purchased a…
