I would recommend a Nikon 12-24 DX since you have a D70 and the kit lens. If you want a good travel zoom lens, the Sigma Macro 70-300 should be good enough. Otherwise, go ahead and splurge on the Nikon 70-200 VR (but it cost and weight alot). my two cents.....
erm... i think the 70-200mm VR u mentioned cost 3k plus ? haha.. i think travelling wun need such a expensive lens la... abit too heavy too leh... and erm.. since its a IF lens... it wud be obvious that the lens will be LONG and BULKY... and he will haf lots of prob carrying it around... what if it gets bumper unto something ?? he will heartbroken one... but maybe a Sigma 70-300 MAcro will get the job done la... later he pok ah....
erm.. maybe u wan to get a 600mm ?? hehehe.. kidding la... *heex* i am kidding alrite ?? :bsmilie:
i wuld recommend a Sigma 70-300 for telezoom,
Nikon 12-24 DX for wides...
and if u realli need some realli tankers...
den get the Nikon AF 80-200mm F2.8 two touch.. will serve u well too !!
although very bulky... u will get a decent zoom and a F2.8 lens without "pooking" VR can come later in the later part of ur DSLR investments...
Tokina / Sigma have some realli good lens.. maybe u might want to check them out... ask the seniors and experts on Tokina and Sigma users bah~ hehe... :bsmilie:
