What lens to rent for dolomites alps trip?
So next month I'm taking a two week vacation to the italian alps in the dolomites. I will be in the mountains for about 10 days then will spend the remaining days in Venice before coming home. I have a Nikon D5000 with the kit lens which is quite a good lens for what it is. It takes very nice crisp pictures that do not require a big zoom. I want to rent one more lens to bring along for some different types of photos especially when i'm in the mountains. Should i rent the 18-200 vr or the 10-24 wide angle lens. I'm not sure which i will get more use out of. The 18-200 will be nice for its zoom to get pictures of something in detail. But the idea of a nice wide angle lens sounds great also so i can capture nice landscape pictures of the amazing alps. Any ideas or other lens you can recommend would be great. Give me your opinions on what i should do.
Added (1). Oh and if anyone has any experience with a trip like this, give me some insiders hints on some great things to do.
Added (2). Oh another point, i'm a very novice photographer. This is my first camera so the easier route is the better. I keep hearing about this stitching? What is that?
Added (3). I thought about a tripod, but i want to keep my pack as light as possible, and we will be on the move often. Alot of climbing and hiking.
Added (4). And there isn't much wild life in the alps I have heard.

My camera won't work properly with the 50mm 1.8 Mikkor?
I've had the Nikon D3100 since Christmas, and I finally bought a new lens for it. After seeing many good ratings for the 50mm 1.8 Nikkor, I decided to get it. Once I got it, I tried testing it out. I can take pictures with it, but only on the minimum aperture. I tried putting it on different apertures, but My camera told me that It needed to be on the minimum aperture. Is there anyway I can make it go on different apertures?

Downloading pics from a Nikon D3000 digital camera?
Actually, I know how to download pics onto my computer already. That's easy. The package I bought from a New York firm also had a 2mg flash or thumb drive. I'm going on a European/Scandavia Cruise on Monday and I would like to know HOW, somehow, someway to get the pics off the camera onto the flash drive WITHOUT, repeat WITHOUT using a computer. I want to double store my valuable pics on both my camera and the thumb drive. Is this possible and if so, HOW do I do it? Many thanks for a concise answer that ANSWERS my question. Remember, NO COMPUTER can be involved.
Olympus E-500? Or Nikon D3000? Which is better for the money?
I'm trying to find a professional camera that's fairly easy-to-use, but is a little more than just point-and-shoot. Originally, I wanted a Nikon D3000. I've found a few that aren't as expensive as I thought, so I pretty much figured this was the one I would be getting, probably around Christmas time. However, I came across the Olympus E-500, and the shots taken by this camera are also amazing. The Olympus is also TONS cheaper than the Nikon, but, from what I've seen, it works just as well if not better.
However, I'm still only a photographer in training. Either way, I still won't get a camera until Christmas-ish time, maybe a bit sooner (closer to Halloween if I play my cards right, I'm sure). Of course, the Olympus sounds more appealing because it's only around $200-$300, while the Nikon is closer to $500-$700. Obviously, if the Nikon is tons better than the Olympus, I could understand the price.
I would like for someone who has had experience with both to answer, not someone who's biased. I need facts, not opinions.
Thanks again guys, even though I've already asked about cameras, lol. Thanks for your patience.

Added (1). Hmm… Well, this sucks. It seems like either way I might have to give up something. The Nikon really does a lot better, however just thinking about the price and everything that I might have to carry (I take pictures of nature, and therefore spend most of my time outdoors, in the Texas heat - not good for carrying large loads) makes me a little turned off.
On the flip side, it seems that the Olympus still might not be the very best for what I want in the long run, which is something that I'll be able to label as professional and even possibly getting my work published in National Geographic (if this ever happens, I think I might die from over-excitement).
Both seem like amazing cameras. Oh, and I talked to my mother (visiting her in just a couple hours, actually) and she told me that she'll try to help me. Though I don't live with her (long story short, she's not exactly the type of role-model I young woman should have, therefore I live with my grandparents) she does always seem to
D90 for Monocular Microscopes?
I have a nikon d90 and would like to use it for photographing slides in a monocular microscope, because our university does not provide pictures of the slides. But i can't seem to use it like a digital camera by just pointing it at the eyepiece and shooting. Any idea how i may produce pictures, preferably of high quality, by using my slr?
