If you do a lot of walking around, use the camera at various distances and want to travel light, are in situations where changing a lens is difficult (IE standing on the street corner, or need a fast change in focal length) yes. I have this lens and find that I rarely use anything else.

They are trying to get more money. I rarely use 8 or higher because if the card fails, you lose a lot of photos. I stick to 4 gb. I back up my images on the computer and archival gold cds or dvds. Also, I never clear a card after I have downloaded them. Call me paranoid. I store the cards in a safe and the cds and dvd in the gun safe.

I do not know about the Nikon version of this lens, but the Canon mount version was a great disappointment am still in search of that ideal walk around lens that will satisfy most all of my needs.

I was told by a portrait photographer that the best portrait lens is the Nikon 50 mm fixed - "Best glass for the money" is what she said.
cindy, the best portrait lens, according to your friend, is a 50mm prime. would that be the f1.4 or f1.8? i bought the 1.8 for budget reasons, but i wish i had saved my pennies for the 1.4. it's steel instead of plastic.

I was thinking of purchasing a Tamron AF 18 - 270 mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens B003 so i do not have to carry both of my lenses around...
