Hi, I've just brought a D80 and now need to look for a general walkabout lens for £200 or less. I'm trying to decide between the ones listed below (all currently available second hand in my price range) NIKON AF-S 18-70mm F3.5-4.5 G ED Nikon 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 G AF-S DX IF-ED Nikon...

Thanks for the comments folks, serious thinking hat is now on :thinking: Darren

I've had my D40X for a while now and have really enjoyed getting used to taking proper photos and it's a great little camera, however I'm now thinking of taking a step up and am not sure if I should go second hand D200 or save a little more and buy a D90 :shrug: Suppose my main concern with...
