I'm looking at getting a Nikon D80 and have a couple of questions about lenses. The last time I purchased a camera, it was a Minolta Maxxium 7xi, so it's been quite awhile and I know next to nothing about lenses so please bare with me. From what I've noticed, the lenses that have the smaller numbers such as 1.x or 2.x are quite a bit more than the ones that have the higher numbers like 5.x or so. What exactly does this number mean and what are the differences? Also, what would be the advantage between getting a fixed lens such as a 50mm for $400 when you can get a 20-200 that covers a much broader spectrum for the same amount (give or take)? Thanks in advance,
Mike
