I have a Nikon N75 and a basic lense AF Zoom Nikkor 28-80/F3.3-5.6 G. I am planning to buy a wide angle / Zoom lense that is worth having in my kit. The objective is to take landscape, close-ups, portraits and wild life. I am looking for something that is reasonable (range of $200 - $300). Also, I came to know that AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 24-85mm f / 3.5-4.5G (3.5x) or AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f / 4-5.6G (4.3x) are not that good in terms of quality. Appreciate for suggestions on the models to look for as I am not too sure of them as there are too many.
