[QUOTE="stix, post: 121967, member: 12913"] I do alot on eBay and have found all the lenses listed for under $160. (used), thats how they made the list. I have less than $125. invested in (both) my current zooms. You have to be patient, but deals are out there. I did the same thing when I had Canon gear. Between the Canon and Nikon, I've bought/sold six different lenses and pretty much broke even. I've learned alot using the different lenses, no way could I have afforded all new. So yes, I'm definately bargain hunting. There's a big jump in cost with motorized lenses. Once I figure out what I really want, I'll buy a new motorized lens with VR, but I'm fine with manual for now. My main goal is to stay away from lenses with known issues. As for focal length...Rexer John is rite. I've been watching my average exif data, and seem to shoot 70-110mm range alot. Thats how I got to the primes I listed, also in the target price-range.
