buying a D70s. Lens question?
Looking for a used D70s course. Would you buy a great lens until you can buy a d80 in a few years. How is the 18-70 target that comes with standard equipment? If the quality of different lenses on the inside or any Nikkor lenses are based on the same standards?
The 18-70 lens is good, but you may want more extensive. Then you could get 18 to 135, or better yet, 18-200. They make lenses in different qualities and prices. The best of the line are the VR (vibration reduction) lenses. Middle range would be the ED (extra low dispersion) lenses, and I can not remember what your lenses are negotiating.
