I know, I know - so I went back with my D40 to compare look at the difference between the 18-55 and 18-170, and the guy in the store suggested the 18-135! Of course - he didn't have either of the other options, so am not sure if he was just trying to sell what he had, or this is a good alternative. Think I will end up getting one online anyway since they are cheaper, but I have been looking at customer ratings - both seem to have good and bad points.
I really am new at this, but also want something that will carry me through until I improve enough to notice the differences everyone speaks of! At the end of the day I have to get a new lens - and cannot pay out for the 18-200 that was suggested by some of you. So - if I can only get one of these 3, what to do?? I need to order asap as my daughters birthday is next week, and I need a working camera by then....Thanking you all in advance
