Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for being so helpful to date with my questions about DSLR's.
Does anyone know of a fast 20-70ish range lens for my new d200? Lets pretend that price isnt an issue but realy Ive got up to about $1400 to spend on it.
Ive got the 70-300 VR
and a sigma 10-20 ordered and paid just not delivered yet, but after awhile with the 70-300 on I've realised that Im going to need something to 'fill' the gap in range.

So Im off to check out some new glass now :)
In that case, I second the 17-55 2.8
And if you have anything left, you could look for a sigma 30mm 1.4 for documentairy/reports/etc (I love that one) or a nikon 50mm 1.4 for portraits.
Save for a few months and get the new 24-70 2.8 when it comes out in November? Should be around $1700US, and gives you the potential FF upgrade path in the future...
This Nikon 28-70mm 2.8 is close to your max range and is one of the best in their line. It's sharp at every range it handles short or long, side to side, with amazing contrast. It's heavy for a walk around lens but it kicks all kinds of butt.
Here are a few samples...
The Tamron 28-70mm is also a great lens (I own it) and a lot cheaper but the Nikon is better. You can really see the difference in larger prints but for smaller prints or the internet it doesn't matter.
