[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 259280, member: 13090"] If you have the opportunity to rent some lenses to experiment with BEFORE your trip, I think that would be money VERY well spent... Absolutely! Also, I don't mean to say the Sigma 24-70mm isn't a good lens, it's just a misunderstanding many people have that "wider is better" when it comes to landscapes; and that just isn't so. I don't know which "kit" lens you have, but if it's the Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 that comes on soooo many Nikon bodies, then yes... The Sigma will give you better image quality. I think the Sigma 24-70mm would make an excellent "walking around lens", personally; it's fast (and I really like a constant aperture lens, but that's just a personal thing) and the focal lengths are ones I would use a lot, personally. You may want to consider the Nikon 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6, though it is a bit slower than the Sigma. [COLOR=#ffffff].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
