I assume you already own a number of lenses(since you want to end your buying spree) and the 20-200mm focal length is covered by some existing, 'lesser' lenses and now you want to acquire a piece of the 'trinity'.

If thats true, I would recommend 70-200 VR. I have seen results off it and they are really special. That creamy bokeh + VR make it spectacular. Plus it looks very pro.

After I acquired AF 14mm D, I am stuck btw the following choices....

Nikkor AFS
- 17-35 F/2.8
- 28-70 F/2.8
- 70-200 VR


In particular, everyone keep raging about 17-35 F/2.8 and 70-200 VR. If you only can make one choice....which one would you go for?

I am asking coz enough is enough.....no more buy buy buy :mad2:

Still need money for bread and butter ley :cry:

Thanks for your valuable input. Especially Espn for not posting buy buy buy virus HERE :bsmilie:

since you have the wonderful 14mm.. perhaps something different along the lines of the 70-200 would be better in a practical sense.

so you would have a super wide on one hand.. and a 105-300mm equivalency on the other

perhaps that would suit you.

after using the 17-35mm.. at least for myself personally.. the lens was forever stuck on the 17mm setting... so... you might benefit from the extended power zoom range given by the 70-200.

Being the Devil here.

All 2H stuff

17-35, 2K
28-70, 2K, Got rare white color the last time I checked.

Well, for my Opinion...... 70-200 VR is more worthwhile to buy since It gives you a lot of features and Functionality........
For Normal range lens.... you can buy Sigma 28-70 f2.8 or Tamron 28 -75 f2.8 which is much cheaper than Nikkor AF-S 28-70 mm (So many CSer selling these 2 lens with a good price..)

Believe me... it is really worthwhile.....
As for me.... I have three main lens with my D100.....
Nikkor AF-S 18-70 mm f3.5-4.5 DX, AF 24 - 85 f2.8 -4 and AF 80 - 200 mm f2.8 ED (2 Touch).....
With these three lens, I can shoot almost everything I want and the result are really Fantastic !!!
No thought of upgrading.....cos' never get dissapointed with the picture quality so far.....:bsmilie:

Well, hope will give you a clue to decide.....

i would do away with the 24-85.
overlap, no point.

 

[eugenep]

Benign, i think i was in the same situation with you too. I got my 17-35mm first coz i wanna take a lot of group shots. But now i need close up shots... so saving up for a 70-200. I guess if you got a 18-70 kit lens you should get the 70-200 first. Until you save enough, you get 17-35 lor... thats how i feel la...

 

[madmacs]

depends on what you shoot more. given the choices i would go with the 28-70 f/2.8 since that would be my most frequently used range. then again if you snipe 90% of the time then 70-200 would be a better choice :bsmilie:

 

[espn]

Just buy all la.. MTL, BBB. Buy first think later.

 

[blive]
