Why don't you look up the Nikkor DX 55-200? I heard this lens performs beyond the money you pay for it. I would personally skip over the 28-200 and 28-300 offerings. The 70-300 pair (which are optically the same, save for some additional coating on the DG model) are not sharp beyond 200mm, so I would pass on that too. Heck, why lug extra weight of a full-frame lens around? Try the DX 55-200 - you might like it ...
