AF100 lenses for journalists

[groveChuck]

... maybe get a HPX170, EX1, HMC150 like Noah mentioned and then pick up a GH1 or some other less expensive DSLR with a couple prime lenses. Once you finish outfitting a AF100 with lenses and stuff you'd be at about the same cost. Use the fixed lens camera when your under the gun and the DSLR when conditions allow

Great option- ultimate flexibility, best of both worlds. A run 'n gun camera and a creative camera.

Thanks all for your help. Definitely a lot to think about here, but I really believe this camera will do what I need it to do. I like the Nikkor dream team option and will work toward that, but will probably get the P14-140 as training wheels. Thanks again!

That's a good list danap. I'd also add the sigma 18-50 2.8. I have the pentax mount version i use with a novoflex adapter.
