Thanks Jeff and Dee Dee, the info has certainly given me a place to start, LOL it would be so much easier if money was not a consideration, but I figure if I have some models to research first to see if they are in my price range I can then pick the ones that I can afford and choose from that list. LOL I started off the other way - finding the highly rated lenses to find that they were about 6 times what I can pay!
