I have received numerous replies and some great advice. Many thanks to all of you who have been so kind to share their thoughts. I neglected to ask about strobes. I am a serious amateur, using an EL and most of the time a 43-86 lens. Most of the flash pictures I take are at receptions or parties, of people. I have been using a Vivitar 285. Now that my eyes are older (as if I'm not) I am moving to an N90s and probably a 24-120 D lens for starters. I assume that the SB 28 strobe is the best choice. If anyone has any thoughts on flash units I would appreciate hearing from you, and you can email me privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Coleman Locke [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wharton, Texas <<< Sorry, "best choice" is highly subjective. Only you can decide that. In my case, I chose the SB27. However, I can see where other people would prefer the SB28. Either one offers more capability than the 285 because they will give you TTL exposure control. FYI, I used a 283 for more than 20 years. I replaced it with an SB16 for my F3 and never looked back.
