I have to ask an important question about getting my 2nd lens (after my kit lens). My initial choice was the Nikon 18-200 VR which I was planning to buy used because of its longer reach while able to take photos on wide angle but sacrificing IQ and not-so-good low light capabilities. So, I took a look at the Tamron 17-50 VC and found it to have quite good IQ and low light capablities and also being able to blur out background well. Should I go for the 18-200 then getting a fast prime OR the 17-50 then getting a kit lens zoom later on? P.S I'm a student and only able to get one of them after CNY

Added on January 21, 2012, 5:39 pmhi bro, mind telling me where did you get this done? me interested  The print itself cost RM90 per book for 40 pages at size of 11x8.5 inch. I did all the layout myself and just send the pdf file to a print shop in serdang Got another photobook 13x10 inch with hardcover+soft jacket and that cost me RM275 a piece  . Next up is to print large size some of those pics and get some frames for my exhibition
