yeah oh well, looks like it was only released in japan and its a bit more expensive.

 

I have a 55-200 I can sell you.

 

Way more than what you paid, but available - USA Tokina 11 16mm F 2 8 at X116 Pro DX II Digital Zoom AF s Lens for Nikon Kit 4961607634349 | eBay
How much? VR version?

Kinda torn between having a 35mm and 18-200mm or 12-24, 35, and 55-200/300 setup.
Gonna cost me about the same, I believe.

 

Why are you torn? Buy them all; slowly; and lights; and flashes; and stands; and bodies; AND THE WORLD!!!!

Seriously though, have yourself a low end zoom (kit) and long zoom (200 or 300) a good prime (35 or 50 - 50 is more popular). Then branch out. If you want to do macro think about a 60 or a 105 (Nikon calls it micro - same thing). Then wide angle (10 - 20 range). Then go buck wild after that.

 

I just want a work set that I can carry around and work with for awhile. 2-3 lenses. Those mentioned above in my last post is what I was considering. Then branch out with like macro, etc when I get more spending cash.
The only thing holding me up is I don't know how wide I want to shoot/whether 18(x1.5) is wide enough for me. so really I have to decide if 18(x1.5) is "wide" enough or go with a 10/12-24(x1.5). From there, it's easy.

My 35mm will be here tomorrow.

 

The difference from 18 to even 17, as little as it seems, is gigantic. If you go down to 10 or 12 you WON'T be disappointed. Best bet is get a 10 - 20 or 12 - 24 zoom for the range.

 

I guess that settles it. I'd love to have the option to shoot lower than 18. If I don't feel like I use it enough, I could always sell it and go with my other planned setup instead.

For wide zoom, I have listed:
Tokina 11-16 DX II
Nikkor 12-24
Nikkor 10-24
Tokina 12-24 DX II

It's really gonna come down to price.

 

PM me a decent price.

congrats! i think my 40 2.8 or 50 1.8 is under the xmas tree as we speak

i did want the 50mm 1.8 before but now im leaning more towards the 40mm 2.8 after reading some reviews.

anyone use a 40mm 2.8 lens already that would care to post an example of some really great shots it is capable of?

 

Picked up a 50mm f/1.8D for < $150 today Can't wait to play with it.

 

Thanks you guys.
Nikon? If so, aren't they like $150 brand new?

 

Yep a Nikkor. The f/1.8G is $200 something and the f/1.8D with an aperture ring on it is $120. Bought it at Adorama

 

We need some more pics here.

















All were taken with my Canon T2i.

 

I love my T2i. what lens are you using? the 18-55mm? the fire pictures look great!

is it the angle? or does that exhaust tip stick out wayyy too far? haha

 

I have a Nikon D3100 For Sale, comes with a small carrying case, 18-55 and 55-200 lens. Already has memory card with it. looking to get $500 + Shipping for it.
