[QUOTE="texaslimo, post: 70649, member: 9638"] Some time ago I posted that I was having a hard time deciding between a D7000 and D800 to replace my D70. The response was not only universal, but rock solid and right on point. Thank you to all who shared your experience. The advice given was to get the D7000 and spend the savings on some nice glass. I have had to wait a bit longer than I had hoped to be able to get the new body, but I am now within a month or so of being able to afford the D7000. My plan now is to get the new body, followed by a couple of good non-DX (FX) lenses, and then a couple of years from now move up to the D800 or future equivalent. I am at the point now of narrowing down my choices for lenses and am seeking further guidance. I currently have an 18-70 DX, and a 70-300 f/4-5.6 VR. I am considering as one addition, a 50mm, F/1.4. I am also considering as the next lens purchase (after the 50mm) a macro lens of some sort. I would be appreciative of any input in regards to wise lens choices. Most of the photographs I take are nature shots, landscapes, and nature close ups (bugs, leaves, flowers, etc). If I have left out something obvious, which at this point is more likely than not, please educate me. Also, if i have omitted a key lens, please make me aware of that as well. For those that followed my previous post, I am also following up on educational courses. I have found out that I can take, as a continuing education course, a class in photography for almost free at the local college. I plan to attend in either Sept or Oct after the fall semester begins (I am picking up four classes at the university and want to get those started before throwing another class on top of the rest). Nikon does offer classes, but there isn't one until 2013 in my area. Thank you ahead of time, P.S. What lens would you use to get a close up of something like a bird, where you could not physically get close to the subject, but still wanted a great deal of detail? Perhaps the more accurate question would be to ask just how much of a zoom do you need to photograph birds? [/QUOTE]
