A Great Discovery
#1

I discovered that the 18-55 mm kit lens that came with my Nikon D40 is a wonderful walking around lens. UUUUreeka! The 28mm equiv wide is a perfectly fine wide angle. The 80 mm tele equiv. isn't as useful but as a normal lens it really works. It's also very light. Believe it or not I have been using it.

Nikon D3100 with Tokina 28-70mm f3.5, (I like to use a Vivitar .43x aux on the 28-70mm Tokina), Nikkor 10.5 mm fisheye, Quanteray 70-300mm f4.5, ProOptic 500 mm f6.3 mirror lens. http://donschaefferphoto.blogspot.com/

I agree Don, for the type of photography we do (mostly landscapes & cityscapes), the focal length of 28 to 80 covers most shooting situations. Even if I use my 18-200, 95 % of my photos I could take with my 18 to 70 just as well. Pavel
