...as I have a 24mm lens and a 35-105 zoom, a 200mm telephoto, and the wondrous 55mm macro lens. All Nikon/Nikkor. I also have a Vivitar zoom which has become redundant.

I really have what I need and it was silly to think I needed anything else. I was getting carried away since I've been so enjoying photography lately.

Well,... you should seriously consider the nikkor 24-120 zoom my fav even on my D70s it becomes a 36mm - 180, posted on April 4, 2006 at 06:32:52

you can eliminate a couple of your old ones. This is one of Nikons secrets as sharp as their micros.

I loved this lens in my work as a photojournalist, even now. Shot these last week in So. Beach Miami.

Hey Elliot,

I'm inclined to the prime lenses myself, but finally decided to pick up a zoom to use with my D1. Sometimes it's really nice to be able to pick up varied action without having to worry about swapping lenses. After digging around a little I found that the old Kiron 28-210 f3.8-5.6 MF zoom had a reputation for great sharpness and good color. It was a $300 or so lens when new, but they go for cheap on the bay these days. It's not the perfect all purpose lens for a digital SLR because it only zooms out to an equivalent 42mm on the D1. And you have to refocus at each distance. But it's been staying on there a lot when I don't need a wide shot, and taking really crisp images.

I do use one zoom..., posted on April 8, 2006 at 07:50:52

Supplemented by an even wider 24mm prime, the 55 macro, the 105 and 200, this really feels like all I need. Briefly my thoughts went to finding something like an 18mm to 70, but there are two negating factors. First, I really don't need such a thing! And second, lenses with specs like that appear to be digital only lenses. eb
