Decision Made - New Lens in the Bag!

I've been looking at new lenses over the past couple of weeks and wanted to primarlily replace the 18-55 kit lens that came with my D60 and get something slightly longer for everyday use. After changing my mind over and over and looking at -

Sigma 18-200, 17-70
Nikon 18-200VR, 18-70 and 18-135

I decided to go with a 16-85mm VR, just hope I've done the right thing as it cost nearly as much as the camera!

Picked it up this evening from the London Camera Exchange in Guildford, was up for £399 (new), I asked what the cheapest they could do it for and they gave it to me for £369 , which was £10 cheaper that the best online price I could find with delivery!

Just got to let the dust settle with the wife and then I'll start looking at getting a 70-300mm VR for the wildlife and motorsport pics...

Not had chance to use it yet apart from a quick couple of snaps, hopefully will get some time tomorrow

Just got to learn how to use the camera and lens to decent effect now!
