Re: Which lens are you getting next?

As much as I'd like the 70-200, a grand is out of my price range!

So after much research and looking at hundreds of pics taken with the 70-300 and 55-200 (both vr) I have decided to go for the 55-200 - as it will compliment my 18-55 perfectly and may even be ok enough to carry around as a walkabout lens

Will order it closer to the summer tho as I am still in hibernation
