Two awesome lenses. Recommend you also get a fast 50mm 1.4 or 1.8...cause those 2.8 zooms will break your neck and intimidate your dining companions :-) I use my 50mm all the time when I want a more intimate photo experience (and I'm NOT speaking code for XXX games...I literally mean candid portraiture of family and friends in low/natural lighting with gorgeous bokeh.

Thank you very much. I have a F/1.8 50mm and can't be without it. Thanks so much.........Tommy

28-300mm lens by Nikon
28-300 is handy for sure but I've heard a lot of barrel distortion

Had one and recently sold it. Tired of these kind of lenses.

I am a retired CPA and CFP. My nature is to pick and prod anything I buy. Most of the evaluations failed to mention barrel distortions. That of course does not mean it does not exist. If so that can be corrected in PS/LR.

Then get a few good primes. 20mm, (you have the 50) 85mm, and 300mm

"a lot" is a automatic correction in Lightroom if you enter the lens into its correction program.

So you want two "catch some" lenses instead?

Of course, 24~70; 70~200; 16~35 all F/2.8 especially. Thanks
The 16-35 is an f/4 lens, not f/2.8, but, it's an exceptional lens. Depends on what you shoot. If you do a lot of traveling and carrying lots of weight is an issue, I highly recommend the 28-300.
