[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 673437, member: 3903"] I'll second [USER=7240]@pforsell[/USER] and say that lens sharpness is way over rated when looking at travel pictures. Even the sharpest bad picture will be a bad picture. Light, composition, proper exposure and timing, choice of subject are way more important than the actual lens sharpness. But I can understand that as consumers become more and more aware of tests and results they always seem to want more for their money. But best and cheapest don't necessarily go together well. Instead of using your time testing different lenses and wearing out your eyesight in front of a computer monitor, maybe your time would be better spent taking photos, going to a local photo club to see what others are doing and learning what makes a great photo. For travel, I took 3 lenses when I was using the D7000. 18-200, 35 1.8 and a 10-20. I was able to carry all of them in a hiking fanny pack that I wore in front, camera in the pouch and lenses in the bottle holders on each side. This made it very comfortable to carry all I needed for almost any situation encountered. Safe travel enjoying your Nikon. [/QUOTE]
