[QUOTE="stmv, post: 107766, member: 10038"] the 35-80 D is not that bad of a lens, I have one,, use it on my D7000, and tried it on my D800, for 45 dollars a steal. no,, it is not a 2.8,, but,, in daylight, fine, and with the Higher ISO ability of modern lens, can work in many situations. I really like the size, tiny. I use a 35-70 2.8 in these situations, so,, would not have a reason to shoot with this lens since the 35-70 is not that much larger (but heavier). So,, buy it,, until you can save and save and save,, and buy eventually a 24-70 2.8 Gem... Me,, for the D800 I am still using the 20-35 2.8, and 35-70 2.8 combo,, laughs,, my holy trinity is: Nikkor 20-35 2.8 (good ones for 500) Nikkor 35-70 2.8 (good ones for 300) Nikkor 80-200 2.8 (brand new for 1100). Less than the price of the current holy trinity Nikkor 14-24 - 2000 Nikkor 24-70 - 1900 Nikko 70-210 - 2400 so,, one needs around 6300 dollars to get the current holy trinity. so,, depends on wealth and or photography income. The beauty of the D7000/D600/D800 etc is that one can keep using the old glass/classics while saving up for the Holy three. by the way,, I'll still keep my older set even as I phase in the newer set,, just because I like size of the older lens, with the exception of perhaps the 70-200 would 100% replace the 80-200 (but,, actually, I am totally happy with the 80-200, so not that motivated to buy the 70-200) of the current holy trinity ... I think I lust most for the 14-24,,,, just because it is so unique, and expands my wide angle with a zoom (my current ultra wides are primes). then eventually get the beautiful 24-70,,,, oops.. rambling.... so buy the 35-85 yet?
