12-24
24-70
70-200
Toss in a teleconverter and I'd have a pretty good setup. That just wasn't in the budget. So the 18-200 will serve as a general purpose lens, and I'll rely on rentals for the best glass in the mean time.
And that Bogen? I've had it for at least 15 years. Built like a tank, which is why it still works well today. I think I'll go check out monopods too. Man, I need to win the lottery.....  |
I may be selling a very gently used 12-24 f/4 nikkor lens in the near future. I'm waiting for the next gen body (D700x? D800?) with full frame, but then I'll unload my DX lenses.
Try a monopod. I love mine, its a very lightweight Bogen. Not the same as a tripod, but coupled with a good f/2.8 lens, you'll have a great action setup for kids sports contests.
