[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 223560, member: 9237"] So I'm going to NYC in December to see all the pretty lights and stuff. I currently have a D7000 with a 16-85vr and a 50 1.4 in my bag. (Yes, can you believe that's it?! :P) I know that the 50 would be great for bokeh shots of the Christmas lights and portraits of my girlfriend, but fear that it'll be a bit long on my crop camera for cityscape photos that probably are going to occur ALL the time walking around the city..
