[QUOTE="James Blonde, post: 159176, member: 13384"] I have to say that, now I've had my D90 converted to IR and i'm having to use my other lenses, I'm realising what zoom ranges i'm using most, and therefore) which lenses are most useful. So again maybe another opportunity in disguise! The 18-105 wins by a country mile and I was toying with getting another, or one similar, as I was constantly swapping to use it. However it does hotspot on the IR camera. The Sigma 10-20 is the one fitted to the other body, but I find it's just too wide - most of the landscapes I do dont justify such a wide angle. Maybe that says more about me! It really isnt great on the ir camera either. Maybe a 16-85 would be enough and I could sell the 10-20... I've always had a 70-300, I'd probably miss it if I didn't have it, but I just dont use it much! It does seem to be ok in ir though! The vr is a weighty beastie, but I doubt the 18-300 or 28-300 would have weighed much more, hence previously considering that as an all-in-one. the 50mm again just doesn't get used as I've always had the 18-105 on the camera, and never really had the need for such a wide lens. It was cheap though! :) So a few interesting considerations and trade offs that may be worth me considering ! [/QUOTE]
