[QUOTE="hrstrat57, post: 379743, member: 27586"] Bill repeating from the other thread but I highly recommend you seriously look at fast (f2.8) Nikkor MF Ai or Ai-s glass on the wide side.....KEH usually has a nice supply of 24 f2.8 and 20 f2.8 lenses......you don't need the AF for the wide at your skill level, my 28 f2.8 focuses like a rocket and all functions of the D700 are bang on in M or A mode...... I have rekindled my love for this lens.....had it years ago on my F/F2 Nikon SLR's and it is even better on the D700, can not recommend enough.....if my eye dials back in the wide view of things I may spring for a 20 and 24 down the road. I will of course continue to cruise the yards sales and local craigslist as always. Don't need no super high $$ zoom my feet work fine.... :) [/QUOTE]
