[QUOTE="trkramer, post: 1454, member: 477"] Thanks for the comments. I wasn't trying to be difficult and am really looking for comments from the people out here that have experience. I am realy new to the whole Digital SLR world and want to be better at taking photos...especially on vacation with the kids. I do like my 18-135 but the majority of the time last year I was strictly in the 18-50 range and rarely used the zoom. Seemed kind of pointless for me to have the additional 50-135 range, which is why I wanted to perhaps make a change for this year and see how I like it. Going out to B&H and Amazon is a daunting task when looking at all the different brands they have out there. Other than the Nikon lenses, I have been looking at the Tamron and Sigma lenses (heard good things on both of those). They each seem to have their own flavor of "VR" so I am trying to decide on spending th eextra cash on the Nikon lens or saving a few bucks to go with one of the others. Thanks again for your post. I find this forum to be helpful and am looking forward to getting more photog education!! [/QUOTE]
