H4rdy,

I would advise that you experiment with what you've got before spending any more on lenses. The two lenses you have cover the range 35-200 (albeit with a negligible gap in the middle). This is probably quite enough to get you going for the moment. Get out there, take pictures, use what you have and develop your style. As Saphire has said, it all depends on what sort of photography you want to do. Until you have gone out there and tried, you won't really know if you will need a 400mm lens. If, after a month or so's use, you find you can't get close enough to your subjects with the 200mm, then by all means, get something longer. If you are doing a lot of urban photography, you may well find that 35mm isn't wide enough to grab all you want to in the frame, in which case you may find yourself looking for something wider.

Whatever you do, as greypoint has pointed out, whatever you buy, will have negligible sell-on value once you make the switch to dSLR, so I would advise against spending too much before you have developed your own style and interests.

Regards,

Duncan
