Spring must be coming, I have the 24-85mm G lens F3.5, for the money very happy with it and the 12-24mm DX lens (basically brand new) and considering selling both. Based on my photography style, I really dont need that wide angle, so considering the Nikon 17-55mm DX or the Nikon 28-70mm .............favouring the 17-55mm to give me a little wider if want to do the odd landscape etc.......... thoughts...........
