You might be surprised how well the cheap 28-80G kit lens that comes with the F80 kit performs.

That may be true, but I'd rather have a lens with a wider coverage. (as you can see in the other thread..) I don't really need a big tele, but something until 105 or 135 should be nice. Also, because I travel quite a lot, I'd rather have 1 lens instead of 2.

plus I would get the 50mm 1.8D for when I need faster.

Indeed, that was my plan
The 50mm is very light, so I might take that one with me all the time, together with a zoom.

P.S. I really don't think you can go wrong with an F/N80.

You are probably right, but with The F/N90 I wouldn't have any problems either.. It's more a luxury-problem I guess

Thanx,
