[QUOTE="WhiteLight, post: 232554, member: 9556"] There's a lot of queries there! And a lot of options as well. First of all, you would need to figure out what you want to shoot. I understand the NAS bug which makes you want everything out there. That's 3 lenses right there.. and a gamut of choices for the 3.. are you looking at nikon or other brands too? recommendations- Wide angle - tokina 11-16 or sigma 10-20 macro - nikon 105mm 2.8g fisheye - nikon 16mm 2.8D This question makes me want to suggest that you do a bit of learning [I]before[/I] you can buy any lens. Very basic concept & without understanding this, anything you buy wouldn't really do much justice. Here is a quick & easy read - [url=http://digital-photography-school.com/what-is-a-fast-lens]What is a Fast Lens? - Digital Photography School[/url] Again, this demands a lot of reading & shooting to determine what YOU need. There are both types available out there cos people have different preferences. A prime generally offers better quality (subjective considering today's optics) but a zoom or tele-photo offers more versatility. remember that longer the range of a lens, the trade off is definitely going to be in the quality. quick read - [url=http://digital-photography-school.com/prime-vs-zoom-lenses-which-are-best]Prime vs Zoom Lenses - Which are Best? - Digital Photography School[/url] My suggestion would be to get a 35mm or a 50mm 1.8g lens, very inexpensive to get you started. or maybe even a 18-105mm lens.. from there you'll soon realize what you prefer [/QUOTE]
