I am at a point where I have no more DX only lenses, but I still have a DX body, the D300s. I am buying a D700 and my question is; would you buy FF lenses only or would you still keep for instance a 16-50 and a 50-135 for the DX body and primes for the FX? To me the transstandards are a compromise anyways and then why not make them as light and easy as possible to handle? A 50-135 weighs less than a kilo and is shorter than the 70-200 that weighs a full 500 grams more.
My intention is to buy the Tokina 16-28 f2.8 and some primes (50MM F1.4, 100MM macro and a 300MM F4) for the FX, together with the 24-70, the 50mm f2.8 macro and the 70-300 VC Tamron.
I do travel reportage, architechture, some sports, some animals, more and more studio and portraits and of course the usual family and friends stuff. I am not a pro and I am not young <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Please give me your best thoughts and ideas for a strategy that makes sense! Kindly Vieux Loup
