Hello!!! Glad to be here. Looking forward to learning as much as possible and of course, giving back to this community whenever I can.
Here are my newbie questions in terms of equipment-
1) I have the 18-55 mm lens that came with the camera. Do I need a lens hood and if so, which one should I purchase?
2) As for memory cards, I was thinking of going with the Sandisk Extreme Pro 64GB SDXC. Good choice?
3) I was also thinking of a fish-eye lens to take some unique shots. Anyone have any experience with the Nikkor 10.5mm f2.8G?
4) I was considering a wide-angle lens, and the new Nikkor 16-35mm 1.4G has gotten some good reviews. Any thoughts on this choice?
5) Would a battery pack come in handy, or is it a waste of money?
6) the "Nikon D5200 for Dummies" book-worth picking up? I want to learn as much as possible and don't mind purchasing any book that will help. Any suggestions will be great.
