I've currently got a Canon 400D and EF 50mm 1.4 but I'll soon be replacing the Canon with a Nikon D90 and I'm unsure which lens to go for. Having never owned a Nikon before I know very little about their lenses so any help would be very appreciated. I definately want to stick with Nikon lenses, I've owned Sigma and Tamron lenses for my Canon and was unimpressed with both.
My options are:
1. The D90 with the 18-105mm kit lens (from what I've read, this seems a good lens) and get the 70-300mm at a later date.
2. D90 body only and buy the Nikon 18-200mm. This lens also seems to get good reviews but the prospect of distortion (understandable) puts me off a little.
How does the 18-200mm compare to the 18-105mm in terms of IQ?
I'm in a bit of a quandry. Ideally I'd like to go for the 18-200mm as not having to change often would be a bonus but on the other hand I'd like the lens that offered the best IQ. I'm probably asking too much, hence any advice would be a huge help.
I did own a EF 70-200mm L f4 but hardly ever used it as at the time I didn't take my camera outdoors a lot. This year I'm planning to catch some motorsport at my local track (Oulton Park). Would 200mm be long enough or would be 300mm be the minimum? As far as I can recall (from 2005) you can stand right behind the crash barrier which is something 20-30ft from the track.
A 50mm prime is also a definite purchase but I see Nikon offer 3 in the form of 2 f1.4 lens and a f1.8. I've owned both the 50mm 1.8 and 1.4 from Canon and both were great. How does the Nikon 1.8 compare to the 1.4s?
Thanks for any help.
