[QUOTE="Mediaman09, post: 55118, member: 9503"] When choosing lenses, I had (still have) 4 choices: 1) base cost includes: DX VR 18-105 DX VR 2) for base +$160, instead get : 18-55 and 55-300 DXVR 3) for base +$300, instead get : 18-105 plus 55-300 DX VR 4) for base +$460, instead get : 18-200 DX VRII I ended up with Option 4, paying the premium, on the logic that the wise choice would be the higher quality lens, and I liked the convenience of a single versatile lense whne travelling. It's a beautiful lens, but its on the heavy side (glass vs platsic, metal, vs plastic etc). Just wondering aloud if Option 3 might have been better. Those lenses are lighter, and 18-105 is still versatile for every day, and i would bring out the 55-300 as needed (eg on vacation). Hard for me to judge the quality difference ( ie is it "real" in practice). Thoughts?? [/QUOTE]
