Hi folks,
A rather interesting mountaineering accident, combined with some savings I've had for a while, means I've got a lump sump to replace my camera gear with.
I'm torn between two choices, I've got both in my WEX basket and swing hourly over which to go for. Just wondering if anybody has any advice!
In the DX corner:
D300S
Nikon 10-24 AF-S
Nikon 18-200 VR
Nikon 70-300 VR
In the FX corner, for the same £:
Nikon D700
Nikon 18-35
Nikon 24-85 2.8
Obviously for the DX I'm able to afford the 70-300 for the odd wildlife and suchlike shot, nice bonus, and I quite like the 18-200 as I just lost one (though I did find it a bit soft).
On FX there is no real 18-200 equivelant but that means I get the 24-85 2.8 which may be sharper? Leaves me with no telephoto though so it'd have to be a lot better to justify the loss in flexibility.
Pfft. Any comments would be welcome, particularly from anybody who's made a similar upgrade. What I'm really wondering is whether the FX with those lenses will offer any better quality, with the obvious exception of in low light scenarios?
