[QUOTE="Lee, post: 135488, member: 8142"] Another option is to rent a lens, depending how long you are away. I am saving for the Nikkor 24-70 f2.8. It is NOT cheap! But I would rather save and buy it once than buy multiple lenses hoping to serve a single purpose. If I dont have it before my next trip, which is unlikely, I will be renting it. A good chance to test drive it before making an outlay. The 50mm is a great lens too but I find it better suited to portraits as I don't find it tack sharp, even stopped down a few from wide open - which sort of defeats the purpose of a fast lens for low light/night shots.
