Nikon or Canon and then which camera?
[quote name='Brightcolours' timestamp='1283642075' post='2493']

Well, a lot of stuff is said on internet... hard to figure out what is what, yes.



Most AF problems with 3rd party suppliers stem from the Canon platform and so-so AF motor/electronics implementations. They varied from body to body too, most notorious being the EOS 350D. Things are improving on the Canon side there too lately, and you have chosen for Nikon, so you should not worry all that much.

Indeed, the lens that is most problematic lately for Nikon seems to be the new Nikon AF-S 24mm f1.4 G, it appears to give some users a lot of focus problems.



From what I have read about the new Tamron 70-300 VC USD, I think that lens may well be a winner. I would certainly get that lens if I were in your position. I may check that lens out in future myself, in fact.



On the macro lens side, I have never heard of real complaints about AF accuracy, from any brand.



You still have to make the full frame or APS-C choice anyway... that is tough enough <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' />. Personally I do like APS-C, for its weight and size (well... my 450D is smaller and lighter than a D300s, of course)... but probably in future I will also get a full frame next to it, as you see from my photography I like to play with DOF and unusual angles. 220 to 24mm macro on full frame.... <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' />



If I would put a Nikon kit together for myself right now, I would probably decide on this (taking price and weight into consideration):

APS-C:

Nikon D300s

Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 EX DC OS HSM standard zoom

Tamron 70-300mm VC USD tele

Tokina 35mm f2.8 DX macro / standard prime

Extension tube set from Kenko to get the Tamron to focus into (semi) macro ranges.



On full frame:

Nikon D700

Nikon 24-85mm f2.8-4 standard zoom

Nikon 50mm f1.8 standard prime

Sigma 70mm f2.8 or Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro

Tamron 70-300mm VC USD tele

Extension tube set from Kenko to get the Tamron to focus into (semi) macro ranges.



I'm not a flash photographer, but I guess for flash I would just look at an SB600 from Nikon.

Brightcolours, I just found your answer and advice from the other day. There are so many that I forget some <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Big Grin' />
