[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 47486, member: 6548"] I shoot with primes only (and ancient ones at that)...one thing I would like to say right off the bat with your D7000, lens speed particulary low light situations, is going to be sort of a moot point...the 7000 shines at high ISO from what I have seen. So with just about any decent zoom you are probably going to be fine even shooting in low lit club scenes and what not and you'd love the fact that you wouldn't have to fumble around in the dark trying to change lenses plus imagine what it would be like to be caught in a mosh with your Domke and 1000 euro lenses! Now personally my favorite primes are 28, 85, and 105 but that is just me (the real reason is I wear glasses and like to do everything myself so I can focus much easier with the longer focal lenghts and the 28 is wide enough you can scale focus it like a breeze)...I like primes because they tend to be faster, smaller in size than a zoom, and sharper. Looks like option 2 IMO and the great thing about option 2 is that you get to go wider and longer than with your primes... You might look up a guy here on Nikonites named Regsy...Regsy shoots a lot of music festival type deals indoors and out I believe and his stuff is pretty cracking...he may be able to help you out with your most important decision!
