Yep pretty much. I will probably add a macro lens at some point, maybe
the 100, certainly something longer than the 35, nice as that lens
looks. I have always been happy with the better Tokina lenses. I started
shooting with the AT-X Pro line when I was using the OMs as my main
camera and have been happy with them for the Nik*ns as well. It is nice
to be able to cover pretty much everything I need with just three
lenses. Often times I can do fine with just two of them. Tonight I have
a small cycling club banquet to go to, and will be bringing the D200
with just the 16-50.
