I have been looking a at a Nikon 24-70mm lens, the price of this lens is a little steep. Is this lens the right one? Or I am better off getting three lens: a wide zoom, 50mm prime, 85mm prime , these three lens would cost as much as the 24-70mm. So what is the best deal?

Depends on what you shoot and what you want out of a lens.

You might also look at Sigma and Tamron for lenses that are with that focal range as well. They are usually a lot less. I would also look for reviews on the third party lenses before getting them. Also the third party lenses will focus much slower. You can tyr hitting up KEH and see if they have any of the Nikons used for a better price.

yeh Sigma isn't all that bad really. Of course the Nikon 24-70 is an amazingly sharp lens though.
