I voted 10-24mm cos I'll be selling one soon ... Just finding it hard to part with my lovely D90 and DX lenses after a cracking trip last weekend !!!

I'm hankering after a 105mm Macro, probably later in the year, just done and ordered a 24-70 which will complete 2 of the Holy Trinity, picking up the 14-24mm later, 70-200 will have to wait till April when I cross the pond to Las Vegas.

None of the above! The Dx lenses are useless to me (on a D700) and I'm more than happy with my Tamron 90mm for Macro use and the 50mm f/1.8 for low light.

IF I was looking for a Macro lens though, I would go for the 105mm since it gives a bit of extra working distance which might be enough to not spook any insect subjects.

 

[Crofts]

None of the above. A 24mm f1.4 pleeeeease.

 

[ryanyboy]

The 105mm. It'll go with you if you ever go FF. And it's faster than the DX lenses - which is nice


The 60mm would be next choice and would be quite a nice portrait lens on a DX camera.

HTH

60mm for me - useful focal length, especially for portraiture. I use my AF-D version a lot for general shooting and not just macro.

Seems someone has some money burning a hole in one's pocket....

None of the above. A 24mm f1.4 pleeeeease.

+1 I think it's a crime it was missed off the list

105mm VR is a cracking lens. Love mine for macro and portraits and works great on FF too!
