d70 goes on to say... new they are to expensive for me and what i want is the least on overlap he also says he wants it to work on his d50, d70 and should even work on his f65.

so to avoid all confusion i broke down his lenses by camera bodies or sensor types (film and DX). i also gave him the FOV (field of view) for all his FF lesnes, this does help in thinking when lens purchasing.

what he doesnt tell me is what capabilities of the lens or usage he is going to need this new vr lens for. so because i dont know if he wants to shoot wildlife or landscapes or even children at a school play i gave the best all around answer.
@ badpickey: You Guessed right i want a allround lens with vr or vc or os that can be used in many fields I know of the problem of VR DX lenses or a FF camera (F65 =film)

So lets keep it simple and forget the F65 , Simply because i bareley shoot film only shoot film if i want to enlarge to lets say A0 (Withch is no porblem with analogue but a huge problem with the digital gear)

because the first answer he got was to sell 4 of the 7 lenses that work on his f65 and get yet another dx lens the 18-200VR. this of course will not work that well on his f65 which is a film camera.

i also gave him used prices from keh.com for the 3 Vr lesnes i would be looking at if i was him. by adding the sigma os and tamron vc lenses he now has a lot of other options

the best one being selling both the sigma and tamron 28-200 lenses for the tamron 28-300vc, this will mainly be for his f65 will also have a nice impact on the dx cameras.

i also could have been a smart ass and said the 600f4 vr.

now looking at my sig and applying the same question to me

what nikon vr lens should i buy?

what would you say
