Artsy Siggy is $249 less and longer, but a little slower. I'll be looking at images and reviews comparing these two. There is a [/COLOR]Nikkor AF 24-85mm f2.8-4 for $721 and a 24-100 VRII for $1369. [COLOR=#000000] Both have to be brought in. But a longer telephoto 70-200 VR Siggy or Tammy vs the non VR 80-200 Nikkor AF-D is also a consideration. The extra wide Tokina has appeal to me, but I think I'd get more use out of either of the above choices. I do have that 20-40 for the widest shots. Could look at a fast 20mm prime too. ([/COLOR]Nikkor AF 20mm F2.8D $607) Time for some research. And advice from my Nikonite friends [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
