Thanks Mr Guy...It's the cost of the D90 kit lens that has me all over the place. Assessing my situation for the one millionth time, I think going back down to a lower model body to save some money and grabbing better glass may be the best move here. Although I didn't love the D5000 with the screen, I think I can look past that as long as the shots I get are dynamite (thats all that matters anyway, right?)
My new plan (please tell me if I'm crazy) - Buy a lesser body such as the D5000 and pair it with these 2 lenses:
1. For portrait and closer shots including foliage - 50mm 1.8
2. Landscape and architecture - 24mm f/2.8D AF Nikkor
