[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 481311, member: 24285"] I went for the expensive 24-70 Tamron 2.8 and adore it. But it was more than double the price - and a big honking lens so can offer no opinion on that lense. I would look hard at the Nikkor 24-85 though, even though it has the "kit lens" label I've heard it is a good lens - almost when for it when debating on the 24-70 2.8. The other one you may want to through into the decision mix is the 24-105 Siggy Artsy lens. Almost bought that one - but it is again much more than the one you are considering. I did compromise on the longer lens going for the the 70-300 Tamron f/4-5.6 rather than the 70-200mm 2.8 I really really now "[I]need"[/I]. But the 70-300 is doing the job and doing it very well. I really like it when I'm out and about but want to go a little longer. Between those two the only other lenses that spend much time on my D610 are my macro's with the kenko tubes, and my little niffty 50 from time to time. [/QUOTE]
