[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 40728, member: 6351"] Improvement in low light shooting? Then assuming you don't wish to use flash - then you need a faster lens and preferably a body that can handle the higher ISOs that low light shooting demand. Absolutely there will be improvements...and not insignificant. Well check the images you've taken with your 18-105.....did you shoot most of them closer to 35 or 50? Personally I found the 50mm focal length not convenient on a DX body so I sold it and kept my 35 1.8. Again, there is no one size fits all here. The 18-105 is a marvelous lens (as you've shown with the picture you've posted. Even when you add another lens there is no reason to dump it. I sure kept mine even though I've added several zooms and primes over the years. Yes the 70-300VR is certainly a slower lens, adding say the TC 20E-III will make your 70-200 2.8 lens an f/8.0 lens so you certainly will need plenty of light for that to work well. In fact I do own the 70-300VR and recently picked up the 70-200 2.8 + the TC 20E-III. Both the 70-300 and the 70-200 have their time and place. I would safely recommend a lens like the 35 1.8 for most DX shooters as it provides great value for what you get. Regards, [/QUOTE]
