[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 304655, member: 15675"] This thread made me look again in my next step (after a 500mm that is). I´ll experiment with my 18-105 (20-35-50) to see the effect that gives, I got the impression from the simulator on line that the 24-50mm combination is not sufficient. I do not want to go with more DX lenses, just in case I go for a second hand FX body later. Since my Kenko 1,4 teleconverter with the Tokina 11-16mm could be used for FX as 16-22 f4 I would go for a 35mm. I think most about the Nikon AF-D 35mm F2 , not that expensive and quite fast (recommended to be used a little stopped down). Not a big advantage over the 18-105, but expected to have a still higher quality. Trying not to buy it though, I really do not use 35mm a lot, but on an APS-C sensor I do seem to like it on street and event photography. ============================ Update: looking at my pictures with the 18-105 after corrections in lightroom, there is really no need for a 35mm for me till I end up with an FX body.
