I have an 18-70mm f3.5-4.5G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor
Comes standard on the D70
Background: I went to a great camera shop and the consensus seems to be that there is a dramatic difference between this standard lense I have (that came with my D70) and...lets say...more expensive ones of the same focal lengths.
My question is: Is the difference really worth the price? I took sample photos in the store with both...
the other being: 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor
...and didn't see too big of a difference. Is this because a low lit store is a bad place or is there really much difference?
Details: 17-80 goes for $350 or so while the 17-55 goes for 1200-1300
