[QUOTE="squawk77, post: 146054, member: 14091"] Thanks for the suggestions so far That refurbished setup is about $150 cheaper than a [URL="http://www.henrys.com/64743-NIKON-D5100-W-18-105-VR-LENS.aspx"]new 18-105mm kit here[/URL] but I'd lose the 2 year warrenty (Visa adds 1 year) plus have to pay international shipping/duty to Canada. What exactly makes the 18-105mm a better lens? My gf actually has that one on her D90 and I found it was significantly larger and heavier together compared to a D3200 w 18-55mm kit lens. For a compact landscape shooter, I was more leaning towards reasonably priced wider prime lens? Maybe I'll look for a used lens to supplement a kit lens (undecided between 18-55 and 18-105) Here's a picture of me taken by a Nikon D200 according to the metadata [IMG]http://www.thelongway.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/11_SM91563.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
