[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 808593, member: 50197"] Not for me, but I got the Pup a new normal zoom for her D5600. Since she is likely to stick with DX cameras for the foreseeable future, I decided to upgrade her 18-55 kit lens. I wanted to get her the Nikon 18-200, but the new ones were all out of stock, and no telling when, or if, they will be back in stock. Her birthday is coming up and I talked to her about it. She was fine with used. I looked at KEH and they had an EX+ for an excellent price. Got it in today, and it looks in extremely good condition. Never bought used gear, other than a couple refurbs, since I was in my 20s and got a used Practica as my first SLR. It also looks more like a much better lens, compared to the kit lens it's replacing. Metal bayonet, and much more robust looking all the way around. Having a longer zoom ratio should be very convenient for her style of shooting. She sometimes misses shots because of not switching lenses. With this she can cover wide angle to pretty decent tele reach. [/QUOTE]
