A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, I am looking to soon purchase the following leses for my 5100:
- a fish eye lens
- a macro lenes for closeups
This is for non-professional hobbyist use. My budget is up to $1500 in TOTAL.
Some initial questions -
1) NIKON - Should I be sticking with, or staying away from Nikon lenses ( Nikon would be my natiural preference)
2) AUTOFOCUS- Depending on the choice, is having no autofocus a problem in practice?
3) FISHEYE - Is there a specfic FISH-EYE lens I should look at, eg :
4) MACRO - Is there a specfic MACRO lens I should look at , eg :
- a fish eye lens
- a macro lenes for closeups
