- The 28-70 is the better of the two lenses going down to 28mm. And if you
- are going to buy N90 you have to get this lens cause it is the only of the
- lenses you mension that is compatible with N90`s 3D lightmetering system!
- The other two lenses is fine lenses but IMHO you need somewhat the 28mm and
- will surely miss it if you don`t have it. I baught the 28-85 and regret
- because 28-70 is better optical, and it is smaller, lighter and faster
- focusing. I have the 8008s and my experince is that it is a great camera.
- But I have seen the N90 and the AF is faster and more accurate so maybe if
- I was going to buy now I would go for the N90. One thing that I *hate* with
- the N90 is all the programs. Just a waste of money to make such things.
