Hi Everyone,
Looking for some advice regarding a mid range zoom. I currently own the Nikon D7000, and don't really have any immediate plans to go FX. When I purchased the camera, I only purchased the body, and didn't receive a kit lens. Currently I shoot mostly with my 50mm 1.4 from Nikon. I'm looking for a mid range zoom, and have a budget of approx $750.
I'm hoping for something with a fixed aperture of 2.8 throughout the range, but have heard a lot about the Nikon 18-200mm VR II. I know this goes well beyond your typical mid-range.
As far as purpose, photography is a hobby for me. I shoot anything and everything, but am eager to improve my portrait skills.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm open to third party lenses as well.
Thanks!
Mike
