I jotted down most of the lenses mentioned. To summarize (in no particular order or size): 18-55mm 12-24mm f/4 28-105mm 18-70mm Kit 18-135mm Kit 17-55mm f/2.8 60mm f/2.8 50mm f/1.4 prime 18-200mm VR 35mm f/2 AF-D Prime Tokina 12-24 Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 Guess I have a lot to think about, and a lot of pricing to do. Thanks to all! /G7 Get the 17-55 f2.8. Even if you have to remortgage your house to raise the cash - it will make you happy. Very very happy. Until you have lugged it around day after day on vacation. Ok you have a point! |

Nikon Extension Tubes [was Help me pick...]

They don't appear to make *any* extension tubes these days: http://www.nikonusa.com/template.php?cat=1&grp=5 Paul: I have never seen a Nikon extension tube that allows aperture control with G lenses. Damn. I guess it's just a PITA geek thing anyways. Some 3rd party ones do (like Kenko). Too flimsy for big lenses. It's a shame as it would sure help flexibility. Nikon's backwardness in the area of compatibility with some "accessory" attachments has been well known for years to those of us who have used them since the original F days (and wish they'd held on to some of those original bodies)! I thought Nikon still made the PK11A, PK12 & PK13, but the US site doesn't mention them nor does the "search" function bring up anything. Perhaps EBay?

They are the 52.5mm PN-11, two 27.5mm PK-13s, a 14mm PK-12, and the 8mm PK-11A. Prices and a photo are on the site. -- David Ruether http://www.donferrario.com/ruether |
