I have not long had my DSLR camera and it's fantastic.
It came with an 18-55mm lens and it's great. I am going to purchase a 50mm f/1.8 lens in the next couple of weeks but I also want something that can zoom from a distance.
What would you recommend? I'd also love to hear about all the lenses you have too!!
I had a 35mm f/1.8 and LOVED it but have to sell it now because I just upgraded and it doesn't work with my new camera. Now I have a 50mm f/1.4, it's AWESOME!
What sort of shots did you use it for Heaven?
I have a 18-55mm that came with my camera too, but when I got my camera package I got a Tamron Macro 180-300mm lens - love love love it
Great for those macro nature shots, but I also find it handy to take natural photos from afar of my toddler with his knowledge, best way to take candid natural photos of busy little people :)
My next lens will be a 50mm - I'd love a f/1.2 but will probably settle for a 1.4 unless I win the lotto :)
:bump:
For portraits. I only really take pics of people anyway, and mainly my kids so it was great!
hi i got myself a nikon d7000 have 3 lenses a 18-105mm a 55-300mm and just got a Tokina AF 11-16mm f/2.8
I know this is an old thread but what the heck! I am a Canon shooter. Currently I have an old 8 mp Rebel XT (really want to upgrade..lol). Currently I will say my best lens is the Canon 50mm f/1.8. I just acquired a Sigma 70 - 300mm APO DG w/Macro setting. I am still playing with it. Overall I think I like it and the ratings on B&H are real strong. Its not a fast lens and does not have anti-shake so with my current camera body it has bigger limitations than I would prefer. That said it seems to take pretty good pictures when I can control the shake.
I also have a Sigma kit lens that my dad found on an old film camera. Its not the best but I use it from time to time. I would like to replace it but find myself too cash strapped to address all my needs or desires. :)
