[QUOTE="Deleted, post: 342202, member: 29753"] Thank you all for your help, it's been an interesting read. Several seem to be suggesting going for FX glass for better quality. Going into this initially, I must admit that I assumed that ANY Nikon glass was going to be superb. Perhaps not? So I need to figure if DX is good enough for me, or whether I should go for FX. If I go for FX glass, then I may as well go for an FX body too? I'm not sure how to figure that out. Favourite subject matter is Landscapes & Macro. Covering the first two is essential. Then Wildlife, Walkabout & Portrait. About a walkabout lens, which to me should be small & light. An 18-55mm is 195g, against 18-105mm at 420g & 18-140mm at 490g. It seems that getting a 490g walkabout - I may as well use an 18-200mm at 565g? Does that make any sense? [/QUOTE]
