[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 433872, member: 24285"] If by NAS you mean that Nikon Acquisition Syndrome I seem to suffer badly from that, not sure how dreaming big and not nickle and dime-ing would cure this desire for more and more gear and gizmo's. Last May I bought the D610. And my wife bought me a 60mm AF-S new. Didn't get the kit lens. I had the kit lens from my F60 and an old Siggy 100-300. That was it for a little while, then gradually I added the rest of the lenses listed below. Four used vintage lenses and a new AF-D 50mm 1.8. I do have a long wish list. Good thing I'm a long way away from any well stocked camera store. But I will be in the city in April for a week and have time and a little money to shop. I don't mind the vintage, legacy, old-cheap lenses as long as they work well. As I'm starting to understand my D610 I'm thinking given a choice I'll try to get "D" or better lenses for the matrix metering which I understand is one of the big benefits of buying a better camera. But others have said you'd never tell the difference in the image at the end of the day - so maybe not. Some say try a manual prime - nothing is crisper. Do I want a new VR AF-S lens (just looked at the D6XX kit lens (24-85) $395 used. Maybe? Or maybe not. Another prime? 85mm - 135mm - 180mm - 300mm ??? so many choices so few dollars. [/QUOTE]
