[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 45920, member: 6351"] Your question is: is there another lens that may benefit my type of photography? Let's look at what you said and what you have: - You aren't interested in any zooms longer that your current 18-105. - You have 2 very fast, sharp prime lenses in the 35 1.8 and the 50 1.8. - You have a camera (D7000) that does very well at high ISO shooting. - Your "type" of photography is "newborns, children and families" You also asked for a recommendation for a short, fast zoom lens that wasn't overly expensive (I provided that above). So aside from my Tamron 17-50 suggestion, I'd say you've pretty much got it covered. You don't need a wide angle lens for your stated style of shooting really. You don't need a macro lens for your stated style of shooting. What may you need? I'd say perhaps a flash like the SB-700. That can really help freeze the action of a fast moving baby and help you use lower ISOs while still keeping the shutter speeds high. Also perhaps you might want to set up a small in-home studio with a backdrop, strobes, light stands, etc. (families love portraits! :)) However this is on the expensive side so you may not want to go that way - at least not yet. So without any other information I don't see much else you "need" (although I do have a limited imagination! ;)) Hope this helps. :) [/QUOTE]
