[QUOTE="stmv, post: 279614, member: 10038"] I try to avoid thinking lens, but eventually over time,, you fill your kits out with the right combos.. think 1-3 lens a year,, over a 20 year period and well soon you have all the combos needed. The good thing is that lens last and last, and hold their value. Consider buying used, 70% or more of my lens were purchased used and all were great quality. I have never gotten a bad used lens, all were clean functional and decent bargains. Some were unbelievable bargains. I vouch for the 10-20,, I still use the 18x200 for my D7000. so flexible, one lens does well solution. I used to walk around with the sigma 10-20 and 18x200 and have a complete setup, (except macro of course). could almost argue that for lots of photographers 40 mm Macro sigma 10-20 (or other vendor) 18x200 and DX SLR,, and you got a great kit. and regarding sharpness,, technique will get you 95% of the required sharpness, lens will not solve sharpness issues if you don't first reach the 95% state with solid mechanics of shooting/shutter speeds.
