"Just wondering which flash you picked. I love my SB600. Can be used wireless with the D70 in commander mode."<p>

Yep, I've picked the SB600 as well. Don't need anything facny.

I'm no too worried by the 24mm wide end, thats about 36mm in traditional terms, which ok, isn't very wide. But should just about be ok for what I want. (I have a Nikon digital compact with a wide end of 35mm and I seem to get on ok with that).

<p>

Having seed that, if I decide to go for the 24-120 VR I can see myself buying a wide zoom/prime to cover the wide end of the spectrum.

<p>

At the moment the 24-120 is my favorite, the longer focal length, slightly better image quality over a slightly larger range and Vibration Reduction are all very useful.

<p>

The only down side is the 24mm wide end, which can be fixed with the addition of a wide lens.

Thanks for the <b>useful</b> awnsers. :)<p>Especialy for posting the example shot from the standard 18-70, quite impressive. Much better than my current Cannon 28-70.<p>

I'm kinda in favour of the 24-120 VR now, though I quite like the idea of having a apature ring, if I'd actualy find this useful in real life I don't know.<p>

Hi all,

<p>

I'm shortly migrating from a old Canon EOS 500 to a nice new D70s.

<p>

Body and flash are decided. But I'm at my wits end when chosing a lens.

<p>

I could just go for the standard kit 18-70, which seems to get good

reviews. But I'm wondering if I can go a little better.

<p>

Current considerations are:

<p>

1. Standard kit 18-55.

<p>

2. Nikon 24mm-85mm 2.8f-4f D.

<p>

3. Nikon 24mm-120mm VR.

<p>

Price is a consideration and if I go for a cheaper option I can

compliment the standard zoom with either a Nikon 50mm f1.8 (which

seems highly recomended by this forum and I fancy a prime for a

change), or possibly 70-300.

<p>

My main reason (excuse) for the new kit is becasue we are excpecting a

baby in December.

<p>

For this reason - Wide angle isn't too important. <br>

Sharpness is important. <Br>

A fast lens could be handy, as could VR (as I don't want to use direct

flash).<br>

must be at least 24mm at the wide end.

<p>

My favorite at the moment is the Nikon 24mm-85mm 2.8f-4f D. But I have

read some bad reviews regarding quality control.

<p>

Any advice? Any other suggestions?
