All right folksm, time to chime in. I've been offered a DSLR as a gift for extra services rendered on the job. I am currently shooting an N90S with the Tokina 28-70 and 80-200 ATX-Pro II's, both rated at 2.8. The question of the night is simple, D/70 with lens kit or D100 body only. The cost on both is very similar. Is there any difference between the 17mm DX angle of coverage and an appropriately sized 17 mm lens for 35mm?
