[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 761997, member: 26505"] I would be out of my league with focal length recommendations. I think that depends on the size of the area you are shooting in and the size of the subjects. I have only one fixed lens and that is my 50mm f1.4. Cheap, plastic lens but really sharp. I think getting good lighting is a great start, you need that no matter what camera or lens you decide on. The lighting will help you figure out what upgrade you need, if any. As far as equipment, I don't have any experience with the D3500, D5600 or D7500. I have a D500, which is similar to the D7500. I do know that the D3500 is the entry level consumer camera. Nikon decided to remove the port to use an intervalometer or cable release, so you need to use their SnapBridge app. I haven't had much luck with SnapBridge, and even with SnapBridge, I don't think you have an intervalometer. It is only and issue if you need one for astrophotography or some other project. You can always use the self-timer if you need the camera to settle down for a long exposure. That is pretty much all I know about that camera. I am sure some people will come along and make camera recommendations based on your budget and any other type of subjects you like to shoot. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
