Maybe a stupid question but is there a way to determine the count of lens/diaphragm actuations? I mean not the camera shutter count but the lens(es) itself.

I recently bought a 28-300 3.5-5.6G but i'm not happy with that lens. I saw a 180mm 2.8 and I can change my lens for that one. I wonder i the 180mm 2.8 is worth trading for my 28-300? I noticed that I prefer fixed lenses over zooms.
Just bought this lens. It is my first VR lens. I was looking for a versatile lens for general multi purpose use and I think this is the one.
I am looking forward to my results.
Don't know for sure if this is the thread to put pictures that don't belong in the critique thread but still wanting to be evaluated.

I am looking for an all purpose lens for my D700. I would like to use it mostly for travel (buildings inside+outside, people/street, landscape), to avoid lens changing and not to carry too much lenses around.

Street vendor in Istanbal (Turkey), Beşiktaş. Want to show the expression on her face.
What specifically do you want feedback on?
