[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 139443, member: 8705"] Fair point I thought I'd filled in my location. Unfortunately Tapatalk which I normally use on the forum doesn't display certain information like peoples sigs or any location info. At least in the absence of my location you naturally assumed I was a yank who was being silly rather than a brit ;) You may have inadvertently offended a whole nation on this occassion :D With regards to the prime thing, on this I feel drawn to agree with you. The best lens is the one that allows you to get the shot and if you miss it because you're changing lenses, that lens isn't much good.I would definitely go prime for something like macro and I find the 50mm is sometimes useful just to instill some composition discipline, plus it's also a very sharp lens. When I mainly used the D300s the 18-200 was the workhorse, now I've gone FX, surprisingly the 24-120 does most things I need for general walkabout.I may well get the 28-300 for a holiday next year to get back to the 18-200 flexibility.
