Lens conundrum
- Thread starter Mike D90
- Start date
I knew I had made the "purchase" and just needed to pay for it. I knew she was coming! :fat:
The other lenses in my sig area looked . . . . lonely.
And I changed my mind again. My 18-55mm ED lens will sell and I have listed my AF Nikkor 35-105mm "D" lens that I really like.
And I purchased the AF Nikkor Nikkor 24-120mm "D" lens instead of the 18-105mm. I know the 24-120mm will not be that wide on my D90 but I may be purchasing an FX camera next year.
I really don't use the wide angle much. When I do one day get to that focal length I want to get something in the really wide range.
So, the 70-300mm VR lens should arrive tomorrow, according to the tracking data, and I will have two new lenses to use. The 70-300mm VR and the 24-120mm AF-D lens.

Awesome! I'll be looking forward to hearing how well you like the 70-300mm and to see some shots you get with it!

Thanks! I have been purchasing Dramtastic's secrets and have a very optimistic outlook!
Well my "conundrum" should be over for a while now.
As you all know I have the Nikon 70-300mm ED VR lens, the Nikon AF Nikkor 24-120mm will arrive tomorrow and I just made payment on a Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-70mm G ED IF lens. Supposedly its a very nice sharp lens. It should arrive by Tuesday I guess.
No more basic lenses for me. The next lens I buy will be something 200 to 400mm in length, sharp and fast. That may take a while!

Sorry I didn't get to read your post or knew your intention a little earlier but the earlier generations of the Nikon 24-120mm are horrible IMO. Better off with the f4 VR II version. You might have a decent copy. Your mileage may vary.

Yes, there seems to be two camps on it. Some love it and others hated it. I got it rather cheap, compared to the AF-S version, so if it doesn't perform I can just sell it and get something else.
