[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 55451, member: 6351"] Well there is a big gap on the wide end when using your 55-300 (18mm vs. 55m) If you don't find yourself there very often that would definitely place you in rare company. I have a D700, D7000 and D40 with many of the higher end lenses - however I still have my 18-105VR as it is still the most convenient, light weight, useful range lens for me and the darned thing just takes great pics! I wouldn't part with it. I have it paired with my D40 for those times when I just want to travel light with a one lens solution. However you must know your own wants and needs - there is no one size fits edict that says you must keep it. :) Taken with my D40 and 18-105VR....not too shabby for a "kit" lens and an "old" entry level camera. :) (click on image for full size) [URL="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5076/5883222066_9eb39877bc_b.jpg"][IMG]http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5076/5883222066_9eb39877bc_b.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
