Hi,
I am looking for a lens for the Nikon D80. My budget does not include the 18-200mm VR for now, any other suggestions for a sharp, fast all around lens...Thanks Donna |

I would say get a 35mm f/2. Sharp, fast, a very useful almost all around focal length. Then when you have enough for the 18-200, you will definitely keep the 35mm and you won't lose on a zoom replaced by the 18-200. Maybe add an 85 1.8 to round out the longer side. You'll keep that one too when you get the zoom.

Hi,
I bought a D80 with the Sigma DC 17-70mm (2.8-4.5) Macro and so far I'm very happy with it. Image quality is imo very good and it is versatile. Even macro photography is possible, but you cannot expect professional "high end" results... Overall a good lens for a very good price! http://www.dyxum.com/lenses/detail.asp?IDLens=241 http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22364 Regards, Michael |

I got a Nikkor 28-80mm G lense for my D80 body. It does it all in the 28-80mm Itis very sharp, crisp.Works well in low light. It's super small, has 58mm filter$80.00 for a mint used example. I think around $129.00 new.
I also purchased a Nikkor AF 50mm 1.8 D Less than $100.00 new ! I rec. the 28-80 for adaily walk about/mini zoom lense. Great detail. Price is right.VERY light. This picture was taken @28mm ->Nikon D80 |

How about the Nikkor 28-200? I used in on my D70. Not much in terms of wide angle (which is why I replaced it with the 18-200) but otherwise decent
