[QUOTE="Ranie, post: 39079, member: 2495"] In that range, I can only think of one lens. The Sigma 17-70 F2.8-4.5. But its still not a fast lens. Another option which I have extensive experience is the Tokina AT-X 280 AF F2.8 This is a fullframe lens. I use this with my D700. I was lucky to have a very sharp copy of this lens. But since I sold my D700 and retained my DX bodies, I also sold it and went for the Nikon 17-55 F2.8 Since you are in Singapore, Im sure there are a lot there you can get. New and Used. I suggest you try it first and be sure to have a sharp copy.
