Popped in to scan some reviews ...
Been considering whether to get D300 or some new glass ... Which came first, the chicken or the egg
Old cheap glass is useless on a D300, so settled on getting glass first, which I can use on the D50 until I get a D300.
So, with priorities set, you'd think it'd be a breeze to get the glass I want ... not so! So much to choose from + I want them all
Actually, what I really want is one or two zooms to cover the whole range of focal lengths @ f/2.8. To cover this in one fell swoop, I'd settled on the 17-55 and the 70-200 (both Nikkor f/2.8). But then I also spotted the 18-200 f/3.5 which I thought would do well for a general all-purpose zoom + not have to even think about changing lenses during a shoot. Great, good decision to cover all eventualities, between the 3 of those lenses. But I still have to (ok
want to) buy the D300 sometime this year ...
gulp that's my Xmas presents taken up for the next few years
Have just ordered Nikkor 17-55 f/2.8 to start with, and will prolly get the 18-200 /3.5, then regroup + count pennies
Think I'll also have a butchers at other Nikon users' gear on here, to get some ideas
