well, I was trying to be practical. Not to mention that I was just walking today - no tripod or anything with me.

oh, and for all you wannabe stalkers out there (while we're on the subject of bigger and better): here's your lens. 😉

$900. I picked up the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 and a 1.4x TC for under $750 (Off of Ebay, so it's not the same as buying from B&H obviously).

It's *kind of* two lenses in one with that setup. Something like that would be my suggestion for a bit more flexibility. Combine it with the kit lens and you can cover a decent amount of ranges.

Thanks for the suggestion; I'll keep it in mind when I actually start shopping for a lens. Have to come up with the money first 🙂

i got mine for less then 800$ new

you can get one for around 500 barley used same with the 70-200
and personally i dont really like TCs and a 70-200 with out VR is worthless

Is VR Nikon's version of IS?

yes

Nikon = VR - Vibration reduction
Canon = IS - image stabilization
Sigma = OS - optical stabalizer

Screw zooms; get a 50mm f/1.4. Its a standard nowadays, and it is SHARP.
