Help me pick out a lens for the Nikon D80
Hello all. Can some of you good folks here help me out here? I am thinking
about buying the Nikon D80. I don't want to start or hear flames either for or against Canon/Nikon, just looking for some advice here. I will probably go for the D80 mostly because it fits my hand much better than say, the Canon 30D. There are other little "pleasantries" I like, especially the viewfinder. I'm at a loss though, of the type of lens or lenses to purchase with the body. There are two types of shooting that I do: (1) family shots of my two little girls (indoor and outdoor) and (2) landscape style photography, mostly of my vineyards here in Priorat (Spain). Along those lines I like to do shots of vines, overall vine/row shots, background "mountain" shots, and I would also like to do very close-up (macro?) shots. So what to do here? I have the feeling that buying just one lens (I assume a tele-wide) will NOT be a one-size-fits-all solution. I get the feeling I will need two, but simply don't know which way to go here. Of course, my budget is not unlimited and I simply can't plop down another $2000 in glass on top of the $900 I will be spending on the body. Thoughts anyone? TIA. G7 |
