Another option is to take the kit lens and get yourself a Sigma 70-200/2.8 :lol:

Oh right, I see.. (maybe im so used to the weight of the 70-200 now I dont notice it

). In that case, Im pretty sure i've read somewhere the 18-200 is a decent lens. I'll see what I can find

The Tamron 18-200mm has also got a good rap so might be worth considering. :wink:

or for a little less reach the nikkor 24-120 is used to good effect by a few here

Adam, maybe get the kit lens as it is such a bargain when bought as a package, and maybe a s/h 70-210 4-5.6. It is light and reasonably good quality.

Adam, for the money the 18-70 is too good to go past. The next lens is a bit harder :wink:

Here's my travel kit:

- 17-40 for wide angle
- 70-200 for zoom
- 50 fast prime

3x lenses. It is a little heavy as the 70-200 is the 2.8; but a lighter one (say around F4) would drop in weight considerably.

I find I never really miss the 40-70 range. So maybe you could get your wide angle and say a 50-200 zoom or something (I think Nikon makes one like that?).

D70S + Sigma 18-125 or 18-200 for travelling?
