Re: Money for one lense, which?

I'm a Canon user so can't comment on Nikkor lenses but a good prime will always give you a sharper image than a good zoom.

Personally I use only prime telephotos but you can get some fantastic images with the Sigma 50-500mm. I understand that to get the best out of it you need use a tripod, pull back a bit with the zoom to about 450mm(?) and use around f/8 aperture. Have a look at Glsammy's image library. There are plenty of excellent examples in there.
