[QUOTE="§am, post: 95354, member: 9187"] If you're travelling around then I'd assume you're more likely be taking wide shots of landscapes, buildings etc, so probably wouldn't need a 300mm reach, and therefore 200mm would suffice. Of course, if you're gonna be trying to reach that extra distance instead of using your feet, then yes it makes sense to buy now and save later. My suggestion would have been to get an 18-105 for 'normal' use, and then have a 55-200/300 as a backup in case you ever wanted to get that little bit closer (although a much more costly option, and putting you within reach of just getting a 18-200mm!) I just feel with the setup you're going for, you may be lens changing more than you need, especially when travelling. [/QUOTE]
