[QUOTE="AC016, post: 85770, member: 9619"] If you have a budget that does not fall into the Nikon price bracket, may i suggest the used market. If you are in North America, you can go to B&H or Henrys for a great selection of used lenses. If you are outside of the USA, you can still buy from B&H (not sure if Henrys ships international) but be prepared to pay customs - it won't be that much on used equipment. Here are a few examples: [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/800888949-USE/Sigma_733306_Zoom_Telephoto_170_500mm_f_5_6_3.html"]Used Sigma Zoom Telephoto 170-500mm f/5-6.3 APO 733306 B&H Photo[/URL] [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/800889270-USE/Tamron_af08n700_200_500mm_f_5_6_3_Di_LD.html"]Used Tamron 200-500mm f/5-6.3 Di LD IF Autofocus AF08N700 B&H[/URL] In regards to what lens to get, i think that is really up to you. You can pay less for manual focus lenses, but are you comfortable with that? You can pay more for image stabilisation. But do you really need it on a good tripod? NO.
