Dear list members, I'm planning to upgrade my lens collection. Up to 80mm eveything's fine (mostly Nikkor glass). For bigger focal lengths I used to shoot with a Sigma 75-300 non-APO non-anything. I had bought this lens in my early days. Now I feel I need better glass. I'd like to ask you guys for advice. Here's what my new lens(es?) should provide: - sharpness is most important - I'd like to be able to shoot up to 300mm - some degree of close-up ablilty (better than, say, the 300/f4) - the stuff should not be too heavy (travel) - a zoom would be great - I'd not like to spend much more than 1200 US$ The bodies I mainly use are the F4s, the 6006 and the FE (therefore MF should not be too painful). I intend to use the new equipment for landscape and nature photography mainly. Maybe architectural details too. I can live with both a single-lens or a two-lens solution (maybe including a prime lens). All suggestions are very welcome. Thanks in advance! Cheers Boris [EMAIL PROTECTED]
