[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 595631, member: 9252"] The 24-120 f4 is a great lens, so I wouldn't spend too much on lenses that "Overlap" that at this early stage in your photography - If you go for a 150-600, you are covered from 24-600mm (Except for that pesky 30mm in between, but that is only 1.5 paces forward or backwards) If you later decide that the 24-120 isn't doing what you want, then replace it but unless you're at that point, why spend in that focal length? I have a Sigma 150-600mm C, and I LOVE it - Perfect for wildlife and moon shots etc, many people also have the Tamron version and some have the Nikon 200-500mm. A 70-200 f2.8 is an awesome lens, but there is also quite a lot of overlap with your 24-120, although the f2.8 will be sharper and is of course faster...... Also, don't forget when buying lenses, that the more you think about it, and consider more lenses, the more you realise you WILL buy them all - It is just a matter of what order you do it in!
