hey nikonlens. I've got a question for ya. I just got a D40, and i'm looking to get a lens in a little while after i save up. I can't decide whether i should get the Nikon 55-200mm VR for long distances or get the Nikon 12-24mm wide angle lens.
Another alternative to the Nikon wide angle lens is the Tokina 12-24mm lens, but it doesn't have auto focus with the D40. But at half the price of the Nikon it's worth considering.
So the problem is I really want the 12-24mm lens but it's so damn expansive. While the 55-200m lens is only 1/3 the price of the wide angle.
... choices choices.
If anyone have any input that'd be great

mmmm, I'm thinking more along the lines of the owner doing some maintenance/upgrades, because normally it moves pretty well for me (unless I'm in the NWS thread loading about 125 images per page...)
Let's see if he chimes in at all...
