Thread: mmm... which lens next!

Hmm.
That Nikon is a killer pice of equipment.

Get a fish eye. Go to a shop and try a few out.

Fixed focal length in fish-eye will get much better quality but just see what they have, perhaps last season model for a bargain price.

I did that a few years back and was very happy.

From memory I think I bought a Sigma for my Nikon but that now seems like centuries ago.
Still used film and talk of digital was just starting to emerge.


Best of luck.

well my next lens is a 70-200mm and once i have that i need a flash unit, then once i have that i'm looking at a nikon wide angle 2.8 the list just goes on

Definately a wide zoom, 12-24, 11-16, 10-20 etc. Sigma/ Tamron/tokina all make good lenses in this range.

24-70 Nikkor, that's my main lens now days. Fast and sharp

yeah, the budget is only $1k though !! I wish I had more !!

what do you shoot?

i.e. do you always find yourself using the zoom at one end or the other? AKA do you crave width or length *lol*

IMHO consider a set of genuine extension tubes and/or a teleconvertor, or keep saving and buy the lense you really want (like the 24-70 mentioned by DM)

At the moment, love using my 50mm with the family & friends and also like taking landscapes. Trouble is the money is sitting there and if i don't spend it the wife will get onto it !! Either spend it now or kiss it goodbye, oh the joys of being married with a mortgage !!

Except at a crop factor of x1.5 the 24mm becomes 36 mm .
