[QUOTE="alex6speed, post: 373713, member: 31080"] You've obviously never been on a BMW or a Mazdaspeed forum then. :p From one hobbyist to another, I'll tell you this - these guys and gals are mainly semi to full professionals. They don't mean to deride your pleasure in acquiring glass - they're just going by the book on how standards are, along with what's smart future buying. I'll be honest, even a rookie like myself finds 17-50 / 50-150 to be really weird lens ranges. If you look at how most of the Nikkor FX ranges are, it's usually midteens to 20s, 20s to 70s/80s/100, then 100 to above. It might be harder to sell non-standard lens ranges, much like how it would be hard to sell SAE (American measurement) tools outside of the Americas. On top of that, if you're going from a DX (7100) to a FX (600), and you're picking up DX style lens, you're going to feel the pain of it once you mount that DX lens and try to shoot with it. It's just a smarter investment to save up for an FX style lens - even if you're using a DX camera - so that you'll have something to mount once you make that step up. So don't think they're bringing you down. I've learned quite a bit in here and am starting to experiment much much more (dude, rent a Nikkor 24-70mm - it doesn't go up to 150, but with the 1.5 crop ratio, it's close at 105). It's all good - we all learn. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it feels awesome. [/QUOTE]
