OK, so my saga to find a good camera continues...
A few years ago I climbed Whitney with a SLR and vowed to never carry a big camera again.
Since then, I purchased the Panasonic Lumix LX-3, which takes nice pics and is portable. Since then also I have become a stronger hiker and more knowledgeable, and as well have me=issed some incredible shots, and not maximized the shots available to me. So, I have researched things and am back to a SLR, which I just got on e-bay for $1,000 (body plus accessories)--a Nikon D2Xs.
I Know! Big and heavy! But, I am hoping with my stronger hiking ability and a good toploading case, I can make it work insofar as carrying it most places.
So, my question is--what lenses--if I were to get 2 only--would you recommend? One that has strongly been recommended is the Tokina 12-24mm.
