Don't get me wrong, the long zooms can be very useful for events, sports and so on, but they are not worth the bulk for me. I would rather one good prime. |

That's just me though. You are right though, they are 2 very nice lenses. I wish I had a pro 70-200mm type lens. |

I can either get D80 w/ 18-70 kit + another lens or two OR a D300 but with just a 50 1.8 (for the time being) Can't decide... |
