Photography Confessions

OK, might as well get it out of the way right now. I shoot Nikon and currently only have Nikon lenses. I am using the Nikon D90 body with the Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G VR and Nikon 50mm f/1.8. I am not a professional, just a avid amateure. The features on the D90 are everything I need without the bulk and cost of the Nikon D300 or D3 (although I do like the high ISO options). I tend towards landscape photography of which we have many opportunities around the Portland area.
I find the Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G VR great for general travel, but I am strongly considering the Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 for landscape work.
The Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G VR works fine for general people photography, but the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 is outstanding when you have time to switch and use it.
I am also considering the older Nikkor 75-300 instead of the Nikon 70-300mm VR to get a little more reach when shooting birds in the nearby Whittaker Ponds preserve. I don't need VR as I'll be using a tripod and it will save some money.
