Yes, I did. I know that I missed only once the 17-24 range, but i would have missed the 50-120 a whole lot more, maybe half of my photos.

At the end, I did buy the D7000 and the 24-120 f4. I went to Spain for a few days and had plenty of occasions to test it. The combo is exactly what I wanted/expected as a walk around solution upgrade from my D80. There were a couple of occasions were I missed the 18-24 range (DX version), but I...

Very sensible advice. I think I may follow it up.

This is an interesting thread, but I think many different elements have been mixed up. a) The validity of criticism from someone with very little or non extensive experience. b) The validity of TECHNICAL criticism from someone that has no technical expertise themselves. c) The validity of non...

Excellent! Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks Andy, I did look at lenses for hire. I will give them a try then.

I have never rented gear but I find myself really close to buy a 24-70mm 2.8 and before I do that I really want to rent it to make sure it is what I need/want. Des anyone have any recommendations as to where to rent from? Also, the question of whether it is something recommended (renting...
