[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 580361, member: 15675"] I started by following "recommendations" on the internet: 50mm f1.8, 70-200mm f2.8 VRII, Tokina 11-16 f2.8 Run out of budget I tried a Osawa 80-205 f4.5 with cheap extension rings for macro, finding to my surprise that it can perform very well. Recentely I stated this related thread on GAS/NAS: [url]http://nikonites.com/off-topic/37409-acquisition-syndrome-gas-nas.html#axzz4KCk0LEwz[/url] Some of my favorite material is from Osawa, Vivitar, Tokina, Tamron, Sigma and not always the newest and highest level. It depends on what you want to do. Recently I have found I leave the 70-200mm f2.8 VRII at home to take a 70-300mm f4-5.6G lens, where the former is clearly superior optically and with VR, etc... the other one is lighter, sufficient, etc in some situations.
