[QUOTE="stmv, post: 796664, member: 10038"] so often we hear the advice,, lens lens lens,, and camera second,,, but,, I kinda disagree, my vote is camera first, lens second, for the primary reason that the camera is your primary tool controlling so much of your decision making even down to what portion of the lens catalog and history is available to you. I actually advise getting the right camera, with the right quality, and even if you cannot afford more, then start with the 50 mm prime 110 dollar lens. You can have a 2000 dollar 2.8 lens, but without knowledge and control of the camera and skills in compositio, might as well hang the lens on the wall, I view lens kinda as the gravy of the journey, as the skills with the camera grows, so will your thirst to tailor the lens to the shot, or the thirst to squeeze out the last pixel quality possible, or that ever lasting thirst of fast lens or longest reach or widest reach, etc. but,, first.. its the camera and you knowledge that should come first... or well, my opinion for whatever that is worth..
