[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 67379, member: 6548"] OK I got to hobnob with a whole slew of like minded Nikon folks on my vacation. Amongst the lenses I was able to test out - the aforementioned 70-200 VRII we all know that one is killer. Probably the most versatile and pretty outstanding lens of the bunch was the new 18-300 it just does it all and does it very good. The biggest surprise for me was the 24-70/2.8 I am in love with that one but it is expensive with a capital E. I also was able to use a 17-55/2.8 which was a big honker but talk about a good one...also very expensive. I saw only one prime a 35/1.8g which was in the kit of the guy who had the 18-300. He was using the 35 strictly at night. I did not see a single FX Nikon they were all either 3100 or 5100, D300, and D7000. There were a bunch of camera folks there too. Nikon hands down blew away the Canon folks in numbers. I did get to use some new Nikon waterproof P&S and I was blown away! [/QUOTE]
