[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 107756, member: 9701"] I have noticed some people trashing various equipment that I doubt they have actually ever used. My emphasis is on the quality of photos that can be taken with the 35-80, as it is just above FREE on the price ladder. The D800 just happens to be the camera. It could be a D600, D7000, or any other motor equipped camera. I've noticed that if a lens isn't at the top of the Nikon food chain, and costing no less than 4-figures, it often gets negative posts.... even though the poster has [I]never actually used[/I] the lens. Not everyone can afford the most expensive (best?) equipment, but that doesn't mean there isn't a good alternative available. Maybe it's an equipment-snob thing. I don't know the rationale. Personally, I believe people put too much stock in the bythom.coms of the world, and far too many people tend to quote these "experts" without any real-world experience of their own. The 35-80 can be purchased easily for $40-$50. So, my point: Is that a measure of the resulting quality of photos? [/QUOTE]
