[QUOTE="JCNelson, post: 201037, member: 16862"] Hello all, I recently moved from a D3000 to a D7000. My D3000, for all of it's flaws, was a great entry level camera to get me acquainted with the ins and outs of what does what and how to get the photograph out of my head through the camera. I started finding myself limited in what I'd like to do and also wanted to move up a bit into the mid-level and chose the D7000 based on endless reviews. Alas, I am in love with the D7000, with the exception of the auto-focus/AF Fine Tune issue(s). I have used the Fine Tune feature to make the proper adjustments and now I am set. But, I am running into a cunundrum with the debate of lenses. I shoot two types of photography: portrait and conceptual. With the former types of shots, I stick with either, or both of, these two lenses Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX [FONT=arial][SIZE=2]Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens[/SIZE][/FONT] Both of these work very well for single-subject portraits, giving excellent sharpness, detail, and creamy bokeh. I have yet to do a family shoot, engagement, or wedding as I fear that the focal length on my two choice lenses would kill out more context that I'd like to show with family, engagement, or wedding. Also, I haven't dared to do any of the conceptual photographs that I'd love to do because I am thinking I certainly need a wide-angel lens based on how the image is imagined. The issue: Researching lens choices is an absolute rabbit hole of links, choices, reviews, and pricing. I'd like to get a wide angle lens that is crisp, compliments the D7000 DX sensor, and within a reasonable price range. From fellow D7000 folks, what would your suggestions be? I appreciate your help and looking forward to sharing some work as I get this D7000 out and about. [/QUOTE]
