Thanks again Eric, useful info.
The 'kit' lens supplied with the camera is the Nikkor 18 - 55mm AF-S, VR, DX series, and very nice to use, although a little stiff on the zoom barrel at present, which will no doubt improve with use. The Sigma has the macro facility too, so even if I do go for a Nikon AF-S VR 300mm zoom, I'll hang on to the Sigma.
At the show, I used the little Fuji 'bridge' camera for general shots, and the Nikon with 300mm for the ground to air. The little Fuji also grabbed a couple of the air display, and they're not bad at all, although of course the camera itself is limited, even in continuous mode, due to its electronic (and tiny!) viewfinder.
Just had a quick look, and there's some good deals on the Nikon lens at the moment, so I'm tempted - especially if the ex-wife comes up with a 'refund' she promised me!!
Still got to think of a way of justifying it though ..... ahem! I'm sure I'll find a way!
