[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 3108, member: 654"] Good books. First thing you need to do is, start with the manuel, to get a basic understanding of where all the different button are and what they do. Get an understanding of the camera functions and menus, how to change them and turn them off and on. Learning how to use them comes with experience and the books will be a big help. The users manuel starts with the basics of the cameras use and works it's way up. The 35mm is a little wider angle than the 50mm and a good buy. A lot of photographers buy both. You don't need UV coated filters. Buy coated clear glass filters they are cheeper. The photo sensors in digital cameras are not UV sensitive. So UV has no effect. There has been some discussion on using UV filters or not. But most agree UV has no effect. Read up on it on the internet and make your own decision. If you are shooting in RAW format, then there are some camera functions that will not work depending on what post processing and photo management programs you use. In RAW the in camera editing features and picture controls only work with Nikon computer programing. These are proprietary to Nikon. If you are shooting in Jpeg then they do work. Why? Jpeg is an industry standard and Nikon designed the camera program to imbed the editing and picture controls as the pictures are stored on the card. The Jpeg format was designed as a final use format and not intended for a lot of post processing. You can do some post processing on Jpegs but it's limited.
