If you are going to keep it and even if your wife is going to use it why not buy a DX lens for it. I have a Sigma 17-50 that I really like and a Tokin 11-16 and both are great lens's. When you need wide or ultra wide then I say for sure get the DX lens for it which is what I have. You could only rent for just a few times until it wasn't feasible to do so. Lets say you buy one and keep it 2-3 years and then sell if for 2/3 of what you paid for it. The math doesn't add up to me even at half resale value. If you look around you can buy used.Now I shoot a lot of outdoors stuff mainly wildlife so maybe I look at it different but I don't ever plan to go to FX either. DX cameras are great cameras and why not have a lens that actually gives you the most out of it.</blockquote>
