Tight budget for lens?

Nikkor 18-70 f3.5-4.5 (D70S kitlens) and 50mm f1.8 settle all for ur needs..avoid D80 kitlens if possible..

U see, D80 kitlens priced at around RM800-900 while D70s kitlens around RM600 which is much sharper and better built.

Of coz i assume him don't need focal length more than 70mm.

true that the 18-70 could be better. Add in a cheapass 70-300, and there's a good range covered... but if TS is picky about having multiple lenses, then 18-135 will be better. I think TS might prefer having the extra reach at the expense of quality for a start,- which will help in deciding what's next. (wideangles or superzooms?)

Or, go for the 18-200mm VR.. because it is reasonably sharp, versatile, and importantly has VR. If i had the money, I'd get one as well just for the sake of travelling light sometimes...

But 18-135 is still not long enough, TS end up will buy 70-300 or 18-200 hmm.gif unless he really dun need so long..

at least with 18-70, it is good quality but well, maybe he really want 18-200 laugh.gif


but for travel sake, i would like to have Tamron 18-250 anytime than 18-200 VR
