[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 46066, member: 3903"] If it was me, I'd pass the 18-55. I know it's good for DX, but for FX you can find better for less. Give the 28-80 G 3.3-4.5 a trial. I got mine for 50$ and it's worth a lot more. This was the standard zoom that sold with mid line Nikon film cameras. At least it covers fx. Look around for second hand. And sometimes you can grab a film body for the same price. The second lens I got for the D700 was a Tamron 28-200 for 100$ on ebay. It's not a 70-200 2.8, but it's very light to carry. And, as much as I wanted the 24-70, I got the 24-120 f4 with VR. It's quite a sharp lens and it's way better than the 24-70 between 70 and 120 ;) [/QUOTE]
