[QUOTE="fsbcyp, post: 478829, member: 39364"] Hello All, Well as the title says, I currently use a D3200 with it's kit lens. So far pictures are superb and I'm not sure I could get any better, but I like the idea of additional lenses. My problem is, whenever I read a review about some lens I like there is always some negative stuff, like high distortions and each end, or IQ not so good, or heavy bulky or not weather proof. Basically it has put me off even to look. Do you guys feel like this or could it be me being too picky. After all spending €500+ and getting it wrong would really upset me! In Addition I notice people shoot with 50 - 300 or 70 - 300 lenses, with these focal lengths you need to be a fair way away to take a shot, and it you wanted to come close would need to swap the lends for something like 18-55. Why not just have an 18-300 all the time??? Am I missing something here? Apologise for being naive on this but with so many lenses about I never know what I might need. What do I shoot, mainly real estate (so I am guessing a 10-xx or a 14-xx but I also shoot general purpose, my grandchildren or events, and really who wants to be lugging around all this gear when it is supposed to be just for fun??? Any suggestions, pointers, advice welcome as I am going mad on this. [/QUOTE]
