Hi there All,
I have just upgraded from Pentax k10d to Nikon D5100 standard kit.
I used to have a 70-300 sigma lens with the Pentax but have sold that as well now as I have changed 'stables' so to speak.
The Pentax was too noisy around the horses and I needed the lens so I could stand back. But it's gone now.
I was thinking of selling the kit 18-55 Nikon in order to fund a purchase of a prime lens. Maybe I'd buy a Nikon telephoto up to 200 or 300mm to keep my options open at the longer end.
So my question is - what prime lens would you recommend for general everyday use with the D5100?
Thank you for reading this far. Must say I am pleased with the move to Nikon so far. Love the camera.
