[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 31853, member: 6573"] Just to stay on topic: I think you've already noticed the wider field of view of the D700 which means going really wide is really not necessary. My first wide angle lens was a used Nikon 20-35mm f2.8D which I bought for less than $500. You can buy a lot of used lenses on some of the forums at a much cheaper price. I think 24mm is reasonably wide for group shots. I have plenty of wide angle lens since I like shooting landscapes. The 24-120mm f4 is a good walk-around lens which cost a lot less than the 24-70mm f2.8. The 16-35mm f4 is not bad and is really wide at 16mm. You were asking for more trouble by getting the D700 since that is just one of the first step in this never ending expenditures. Good luck and I hope you'll find the cure.
