[QUOTE="Don Kondra, post: 222927, member: 17688"] Greetings, Being new to Nikon I did my research and purchased the D7100, 10-24mm DX, AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8 and the AF-S 70-200mm f/4. My thinking was to worry about going longer later. On second thought for a short time I could return the 70-200mm f/4 for credit towards the new 80-400mm. I am aware of the weight difference and the possibility of having to use higher iso with the 80-400mm but I wonder if anyone can comment on how the image quality compares between the two lenses ? Eventually I will be purchasing the 80-400mm (the longest reach I can justify $) and could take it for a test drive now while the option of trading in the 70-200 f/4 exists. So I guess the question is whether or not I need both lenses ? :) BTW - the 10-24/24-70mm pretty well covers most of my studio work and the longer lenses are for fun.... Cheers, Don [/QUOTE]
