Chaps & ladies,

Now more or less decided (per my prev post) that I'm going to go for the Sigma 10-20 lens for my D100.

Alongside this I have the kit lens, a Nikon 24-85 f/3.5-4.5 ED AF-S, and a Sigma 50-500.

....now, reading a few other posts, should I be tempted to seriously look at the Nikon 17 - 55 AF-S f/2.8G IF-ED Dx?...per Yellabelly's thread?

If so, I would then have a nice amount of overlap with the 3 lenses (rather than a hole between the Sigma @ 20mm and the Nikon @ 24mm)..plus I've read its a cracking lens.

If I do, theres no point in me hanging onto my Nikon 24-85. I have no experience in selling lenses on...do shops do part-ex?...how much am I likely to get versus selling privately? Any other recommendations?

Cheers,
S

If you can be ar5ed to set up an e bay account and a paypal account, Sell via e bay and put a sensible minimum ask. Tis really the best way to shift stuff.

Once you've done one, you'll do more. It's only weird the first time (like lying to your Bank Manager).
