Thanks alot charles!!! i ended up going with the d80 and 18-70mm F3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom combo Thanks again Best regards disruptfam
Hey charles!!! Thanks a million mate that helps me immensely,I was looking @ the 18-70mm lens and seems good for a starter.Ok i'm getting a tad confused on which body i should get i'm getting alot of different opinions.Some people are saying get the d80 it's in the same price range as the d60 and is the better body.On the other hand "other" people are saying get the d60 as the d80 is old technology now the d60 is the better bet. Back to lenses. The 1st lens you recommended The 17-55mm f/2 lens retails for $1,500 in aus A tad out of my price range at the moment. The 2nd lens The 18-70mm lens retails for $300aud Which i can afford,would this be the second best choice? The 3rd lens The 18-55mm retails for $125 also in my price range,how is this one of image quality? i would be better off with the 18-70mm? The 4th lens The 20-35mm f2/8 i haven't found on as of yet.But again would i better off with the above lenses? The 5th lens The 50mm f/1.4 af-d retails for $300 from that review you linked says it's a good lens for low light conditions which would come in handy, but not in every application. Ok quickly reading through kens reviews...He highly recommend the 18-55lens for price/perf then the 18-200m vr lens and rates the 18-70mm at third. Now....i'm abit confused again. Should go the lens's you suggested in the order you put them in or should i go the 18-55 -18-200m kit? I want the image quality as you have with your murderbox pic's Thank you very much for all the help mate !!! Best regards Disruptfam
That's awesome Mate, that's a nice camera. For lenses I would say get the best you can afford. A lens unlike the body, you can keep for many, many years. I'll start by showing you the ultimate lens. This zoom lens would be all you ever need to shoot most things. It's not cheap but you can sometimes find one on the used market. http://kenrockwell.com/nikon/1755.htm It's a money lens that will pay for itself over the years, tenfold. If that's a tad rich for your blood then the next down would be this: http://kenrockwell.com/nikon/1870.htm and finally this: http://kenrockwell.com/nikon/18-55-ii.htm Alternately, if you can find one of these on the used market, go for it! http://kenrockwell.com/nikon/2035af.htm You can supplement it with a Nikkor 50mm f1.4 and you're golden. http://kenrockwell.com/nikon/5014af.htm Good luck Bro.
