[QUOTE="mgoldman525, post: 248414, member: 19965"] Hi everyone! My name is Mike and I'm new to serious photography. I've been doing research in optics professionally for several years now and I've always enjoyed composing interesting photos with my point-and-shoot, so I've decided to bring the two together and take the DSLR plunge. Since I'd like to buy a camera that will support years of learning and I'm working on a grad student budget, I was thinking of buying a 5200 with the 18-140mm VR kit lens or the 18-200mm VR lens. I would appreciate any thoughts you have on my plan! Should I look at different lenses? Go for a nifty fifty right off the bat? Am I likely to find a better deal than the ubiquitous $950 kit? Thanks!
