RE: Looking for Zoom for Nikon D70

Posted by shutterbob on August 25, 2008 at 17:41:14:
I'd suggest you keep the 18-70 and buy a dedicated lens, say 70-200 or 70-300. The one-size-fits-all lenses tend to be slower, allowing less light through, which will cause you no end of headaches when shooting in low-light. You can buy an excellent 80-200 2.8 AFD lens for around $500. That's what I sold mine for. It is a heavy lens, very durable, but gathers a lot of light, a much more important issue than VR IMHO. Depends on the shooting style and preferences of the owner.
