[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 259434, member: 17556"] Whatever I did I would keep the 50mm f/1.8, particularly with y our cropped sensor camera D90. Fine portrait lens and a great all around lens. It would also be your only prime lens in your arsenal. Of the other two I would probably just keep the one I have the most use for. I personally was/am not a fan of the 55-200mm lens even though I had the VR version. I just didn't like it much. The 18-55mm was fine but felt kind of cheap and flimsy even though it is said to be surprisingly sharp. My photo style just did not call for much wide angle. So I sold my 18-55mm and my 55-200mm VR lens and got the 70-300mm VR lens and the 18-70mm "G" ED lens. Just a couple of weeks ago I re-added the 50mm f/1.8 after foolishly selling the excellent copy I had when I bought my camera. What is your budget [I]before[/I] selling any of the lenses? I ask because none of those three lenses listed will bring more than $100 USD each so if you sold all of them you would have a budget of $300 max from just the lens sales. [/QUOTE]
