    Re: I did it! Bought a Nikon D610

    It would be an awful miss, not to get yourself a decent prime(s) like 50mm 1.8D. But, for portraits, go for Nikon 85mm 1.8D or a macro lenses within the 90-105mm f/2.8 range (Nikon, Tokina, Tamron)...

    The 85mm 1.4g is the best portrait lens in my opinion....

    For portraits I also swear by the 85mm f1.4G but the 85mm f1.8G is equally superlative. For real estate the 14-24mm is an excellent choice however I would consider, if you are interested in the absolute best image quality (although the 14-24 is superb in its own right), the 24mm f1.4G is amazing (and is next on my own shopping list).

    But for an interior shot of a house, a lens is never wide enough. Remember, the realtor wants to make the house larger than it really is so IMHO the 14-24 IS the lens to get.

    Re: I did it! Bought a Nikon D610

    Ahhh true....although beyond a certain point you will have distortion creeping into the image...I was thinking more about that than coverage. Most of the time I would think that the 24 should be able to provide adequate coverage, and the 24 1.4G has minimal distortion if kept level. You don't often see real estate images taken at ultra-wide angles.

    Congrats!
    I'm not a pro photographer. I just play one on TV.

    I think everyone should follow and do. Please do not assume we know what's in your camera bag, I left my magic mind reading hat at the repair shop because it does not work past my computer screen.
