OK- Now im pretty much decided on the nikon d80. I think I am going to pick up the 55-200mm VR lens for it ($250- good deal, though i can get the 70-300VR for 380 but i dont think ill use it)
My dillemma is if i go with the 55-200 what should i get as my low range, the kit that I can pick up (through my store) is the 18-135. If i go with that I feel that the 135-200 difference isnt worth the investment. SO I can save $190 and go with body only and pick up an extra lens. I'm thinking the 18-70 or the 18-55 both Nikons. However, If i go with the 18-70 the difference in price (250 extra) means that I could have just gotten the 18-135 for less and it just doesnt make much sense.
So basically i'm stuck- the 18-55 sounds like a good idea since it's very cheap online (kit buyers selling their lens etc.)
If you have ANY suggestions let me know, I'm getting the 50mm 1.8 as well. But let me know if there are any other ideas. I can also buy the 55-200 non VR for 135 (i think I like the idea of stabilization at 200mm though). If I could, I'd like to get another lens that is decent in the low range (18-28 to 50-80) that has a pretty low F-stop (better than the kit lens) if I could for a resonable price. I'm getting the 50mm for 105- maybe I can scratch that if I find something else reasonable.
Sorry for the long explanation- These prices are my employee prices (thats why they are low- except for the 55-200VR)
PLEASE IM STUCK- ANY SUGGESTIONS WELCOME
