<p>Thanks for all the input. I think I have decided to stick with the 35-70 Nikkor!</p>

<p>I usually boost my ISO to about 800-1000, depending on the lighting. I do take the flash of fthe camera. But you can tell excatly how far the flash reaches with the sudden drop off. I boost my TTL 2/3's of a stop otherwise it is so dim. 100% manual settings.</p>

<p>I have a studio with three storbes. I don't think I will ever need it for that. I can control them fairly well, and minipulate the light to what I want.<br>

But event stuff, kicks my butt. I just can't get the lighting I see in other images. I always seem underexposed.<br>

But for on location and wedding photography, my SB600 doesn't seem to cut it. TTL seems so weak, I always boost it. I am hoping that with more power I get better lighting results. <br>

I shoot a Nikon D700, and have a 70-200 2.8, as well as prime lenses, 50mm 1.8, 85mm 1.8, and 28mm 1.8 (or is it 2.8?) I am looking at getting another zoom too.</p>

<p>I have the 70-200, as well as primes 28, 50, and 85. But I need a zoom now. After the D700, and the 3 strobe and softboxes, I may be sleeping on the couch if I spend another $1800 on a lens! I would like to here feedback from other shooters using Sigma & Tamaron lenses.<br>

What you you think, or suggest?</p>
