After travelling to Tenerife with my D100 and the Tamron 28-300 Di, I noticed that the lense is quite ok for general photography but lacks sharpness and brilliance to be good for spotting. The pics need too muich postprocessing for my liking to get them barely acceptable.
And as we now have become 2 spotters, which means that my girlfriend wants her own DSLR even during the holidays, I am now looking at taking my D200 with me on holiday trips as well. As those are mainly holiday trips and not mainly spotting trips, bringing my Nikon lense collection (all 2.8 and heavy) with me is out of question, so I need a compact but reasonable travel lense for my D200.
I am considering the following :
Nikon AF-S 18-200 VR DX
Nikon AF 55-200 G , taking the 2.8 20mm with me too
Nikon AF-S 70-300 VR (but that seems too bulky and leaves me too uncovered on the wide angel side, even with the 20 2.8 )
Any adivce and other ideas are welcome.
