[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 589789, member: 25095"] Probably not as much of a problem on the D7100, but when the autofocus wants at least f/8 and your lens is only capable of providing f/6.3 ... low light focusing is going to suffer. Its one of the things I like about Nikon's 200-500 super zoom, it's f/5.6 all the way and doesn't creep up to 6.3. For birding and general use, it really depends on how much low light work you do. On DX vs FX, I think it all comes down to whether you see yourself picking up an FX camera in the future or not. The spacing and weight savings of going the DX route are nice, but for a little bit more money up front you can get into FX if that's even a consideration. I don't think you can go wrong with the DX lens and adding the 35/1.8. And if over-thinking your gear purchases wears you down, the new DX 70-300 should hold value pretty good. [/QUOTE]
