[QUOTE="Bear Dale, post: 642480, member: 44139"] Thank you Marcel for your wise post, you make good counsel with your words and thank you for the warm welcome. From another post that I did yesterday (Yes, I am full of questions) My Canon gear - 5DMKII and a large array of L glass was stolen around 3 months ago and I have been given a cheque from the insurance company. I have an opportunity to buy whatever brand/model I want and I have never shot Nikon - I'm an enthusiastic amateur, with no lofty expectations over ever being anything else but enjoying photography for the love of it.[LEFT][COLOR=#000000] Along with a 5DMKII and a 50D a 16-35,24-70, 70-200 (all 2.8) a 100-400, 1.4x extender and a 100mm macro were taken. The culprit was caught by the police 4 days later but he had sold all my gear for peanuts for drugs. Again, I am only a enthusiastic hobbyist and my knowledge of Nikon is very limited. The Nikon lens lineup looks much more confusing than does Canon's as there seems to be many duplicates, though by the $$$ amount the more expensive must have something more than the lesser costing lens.
