Which lens graces your camera..

i just got my d80 this past summer, and upgraded the kit lens to the nikkor 18-200mm 1:3.5-5.6. so thats always on my cam as its my only option at this point. im hoping to get my hands on the 50mm 1.4 or 1.8 right away...

Well, on one d90 I have the kit lens. I actually really like it. On another, I have a 50mm 1.4D and will have a 50mm 1.4G on the other one as soon as it gets off of backorder.

Hmm good question.

Usually the 17-85mm (4.5-5.6) on my canon 30d. Gives me a nice range. Sometimes I'll switch to the 10-22mm wide angle (3.5-4.5). I also have a 50mm 1.8 but that doesn't get as much use as it should.

The Nikon 50mm 1.4D is so cheap (as in $$$ not quality) that every Nikon shooter should have one. The G is a little more but a lot of people are getting rid of their D in auctions. I love this lens.

The Nikon kit lens for the d90 is my "always on in case something happens" lens. One, both of them are covered by a good warranty. Drop it and it breaks... covered. My other lenses are not covered.

My go to lens is my 24-70 Canon L f/2.8. It has very crisp optics, I find with my camera crop it gives me most of the ranges I shoot at. That being said I never go out to shoot without at least 3 lenses.

On my Pentax K110d, Im using a Tamron 70-300 with the macro function. It is really sharp for some applications, but others it is not so good. It is more of a utility setup, that I'm willing to let get beat up.
The other is a Sony Alpha 100. It is using the kit lens, 18-70. Have not really found it necessary to jump out and get new glass for it. Since I usually carry both cameras with me, I can hit pretty much everything. Wide angle, telephoto, and then two versions of macro. Its nice to be able to go from 18-300 without switching lenses. If you cant get a shot with those selections, then I should reconsider this hobby.

I have the Nikkor 18mm-135mm f3.5-5.6G and the 50mm 1.4D

I have lots of hockey and animal life I would like to start shooting so looking at another lens to better suit that. Any suggestions..would love to hear them!

Acutally, next purchase will be a flash and Lightroom 2.

I don't know anything about nikon lenses so can't recommend anything specific, but for animals/sports, I'd probably suggest a longer zoom (200mm or more) to be able to fill the frame with the subject.
