[QUOTE="Deleted, post: 354861, member: 29753"] What a whirlwind! A month ago, I was thinking of getting back into photography after my 35mm work, 15-20 years ago. Back then, I did a bit of landscape & street views & paid portrait work. This time around, my interest is with landscape, close-up/macro to start, some paid product shots (which are already lined-up), character portraits, then maybe looking at wildlife & maybe studio portraits again later on - once funds allow for the lenses. I've been on a journey of steep learning curves & haven't even got the camera yet! I started off aiming for the D7100 & DX lenses, changed my mind to the D610 & during the wait for the D750, I think I've finally settled on a D810. I'm seeing the camera body as something that I would hold onto for quite a while, which would give me the chance to save for glassware, instead of "upgraditus" for new bodies. Bearing in mind the intended usage; landscape, macro, walkabout, character portraits, this is the direction of my thinking at the moment... D810 Landscapes: Nikkor 16-35mm f4 Walkabout: Nikkor: 24-120mm f4 Macro: Nikkor 105mm f2.8 I've spent a lot of time thinking that maybe the Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 would be better suited.
