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.
