[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 62917, member: 6351"] Why do you want to buy another piece of equipment? Usually (or more accurately: "preferably") a person's desire for another lens or new speed light is driven by a gap in their ability to get the shot they want to capture. So what is it you find yourself not being able to do with your current set-up? Do you need a wider lens or perhaps a longer reach? Is a faster lens what you're lacking for shooting in low light? Perhaps you want to try macro photography and need that type of lens? You have 2 very basic but still excellent lenses to work with that cover the 18-200 focal range. You need to tell us what area *you* want to cover before we can give you advise on what you should get. If you just want to blow some cash then buy any of the recommendations above - they're all good choices. However first you need to find out for yourself by going out and shooting what you want to get done with your camera. Just for the record, this is my recommended, economical DX lens set up: 35 f/1.8, 18-105VR, 70-300VR and an SB-700. If you have these 4 items to go along with your DX body - for most people - you've got the majority of what you'll come across covered. Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
