Re: Could use some help!!
Conventional wisdom would tell you to buy Nikon lenses for your camera. But if you're trying to save money you would do well to consider the third-party manufacturers. Check the lens reviews here and maybe post on the Nikon forum to find out what other Nikon users like.
Are you really buying an 80mm lens? Or did you mean a zoom lens with the telephoto end being 80mm? Because an 80mm prime isn't a very flexible lens - especially for a digital SLR.

Thanks for the help. I ended up getting a kit with the nikon 28-80mm zoom lens as part of it.
