I was all about primes, 35mm F1.8, 105mm F2.8, 300mm F4. And my Tokina 11-16 F2.8 is basically a short range prime. I recently picked up the 16-85mm Nikkor for a general purpose walk around and.. its ok. Sharpness is good, with my sb700 an VR i do decent with it in low light. I'm just not sure i want to switch out a 24, 35, 50, 85 all day long. I do want a 50 1.2 though. I demo'd one out in the store and liked it

Next lens on my list is the 70-200 VR ii. While the majority love this lens, a few claim its not worth its $2400 price tag. I will soon find out.
If anyone is interested i have added alot of images to my photostream. May want to pass by the recent pet and farm photos.
