Each lens has their pros and cons, for the artistic shots I would say a 70-200 isn't really built for that. IMO, the 70-200 is more of an event lens where you need the range and aperture for high shutter.

I like the sets from this guy here, http://www.flickr.com/photos/zeckson/ . Best of all is that he uses lens like 18-55, 35mm with a D90 body for his photoshoot . Results is excellent too.

But imo, artistic wise, it boils down to the photographer and not the lens or even camera body.

Cropping, PP, great angles etc etc from a creative photographer will make pics look artistic.

Nikon 1424 f/2.8, 2470 f/2.8, 70200 f/2.8, 200mm f/2, 300mm f/2.8 etc are workhorses for working photographers in their field of work. Wedding photogs will tend to need the first three lenses and wildlife/sports will tend to need a much higher range than 200mm.

I do hope to get some of those lenses to use for my wedding shoots...the 2470 is reallly sharp even at 2.8.. tried it. The all rounder lens for an FX body.

So it boils down to "Need VS Want"....do u need it or do u just want it?

hence the prob.
sold d60 with kits.
im left with nikkor 35mm prime and tamron 90mm macro.
need to top up quite an amount.
in dilemme if i should get the body first or with kits or with tamron 17-50.
off coz money is a concern. so still looking for a good deal.

sighhh..still couldnt find sumone to lend me their UWA for few days next week..all of them tied up with wedding jobs during this school holidays...

Official a D90 owner now. paired with sp af 17-50mm f/2.8 .

btw when i was in the shop, i tested the kits and the tamron.
i feel that tammy af's faster then kits. the shop owner also said the same.
