[QUOTE="Corduroy, post: 517055, member: 41304"] I'd like to thank all you for your input. You are very helpful. I've seen this lens and it could be very good, but I lose some range I use a lot (17-24mm). I've also thought about the 16-85. The D7xx is a good solution though, one I've been thinking myself. I don't believe the D3300 will make a big difference IMHO. As salukfan said, a transition to a D7xxx would be a better solution. I believe I should get at least a body that can use my primes with AF. The kit is a good lens, although it struggles indoors in my experience. I'm considering the Sigma because of better IQ (which as I said I'm not 100% positive I'll use), more reach and being faster. Thanks. Honestly? I don't really know and that's why I opened this topic. I'm not sure myself if the difference would be significant to justify this "move". However, I'm not a fan of adding two more primes. I find myself changing lenses more than I'd like and unfortunately I take many photos while moving, walking etc where I'd like a versatile lens. Moreover as I said, I tend to take many photos at the wider range. 35mm for example is not a length I find so much useful for my needs. The 70mm though could really help in many cases. [/QUOTE]
