How about a DX lens on a DX body? Will a 18mm DX lens on a DX body still get an equivalent angle as a 18*1.5 on Fx body?

If you are shooting wildlife, then go for the 70-300mm VR instead or get the new 55-300mm... Robert, if your primary focus is landscapes, go for the Nikon 18-105mm.

I have heard a lot of good things about the 135mm f/2, so I think you made the right choice. Kirby, you are most welcome!

I was deciding between the Nikon 135mm f/2 and the 180mm f/2.8 for my D300, bearing in mind that I'll be buying a D3 when finances allow it. I'll go with the faster aperture lens and attach it to the (DX sensor-sized) D300 when I want a really cropped closeup. So many of the other sites which compare focal lengths do so with fancy flash graphics which prevent me making a proper comparison. Very useful, thank you!
