Hello,
I am going to Burning Man later this month and am considering buying a lens specifically for the trip. There are a lot of dust-out conditions and the consensus is it is best not to change lenses at all if possible as it is too dusty.
Since I am concerned about damaging gear and have a wedding 2 weeks after I get back, I am exploring all in one lenses to take so i don't have to change lenses. I'm going with the mindset I have to be able to afford to lose it....
My current choice so far is the Nikon 24-120 VR f3.5-5.6. I can pick it up off KEH for ~$200
Locally there is a Tamron 24-135 on CL for the same, $200. No VR and I believe this is an older lens. Little extra zoom and better macro capabilities.
Any other options I should consider that can be had for a decent price?
