Any photographers in here?

Why is that?

I don't like his writeups. They're way too opinionated, and he comes off as an elitist. If I want to read stuff like that, I can just look at forums. I like raw data.

@sleeper3 - Neither do I, but he has good quality texts with lots of info and his lens reviews are quite good.
@jud - He's too much "my way or the highway" for some things.

if you shoot and buy canon gear, you can't beat this site.

I have and love the 70-300 VR...it's not a pro lens, but you wouldn't expect it for the price. I like the 50 1.8, but personally I find the 35 1.8 more usable. Honestly, they are so cheap you might as well get both!

Thanks for the comments!

It is a DX lens after all, and the D90 isn't really a pro camera either now is it? So I think that they will fit rather good together.

I think I'll look for the 70-300 VR, the 50mm 1.8 and the 35mm 1.8 then. After that I think all I need is a good wide angle lens like 12-24 or something to have a complete set, but I have no idea what to get there, any ideas?

Any other lenses you guys consider a must have??

Tokina 11-16 for wide, cheaper than Nikkor and as good if not better.

I've heard GREAT things about the tokina wide angle offerings. Their fisheye is supposed to be a must have for dive photography.

I like the sigma 10-20. If you aren't buying the nikon, they are all pretty close IMO. Plus the wider the better, right?

Plus the wider the better

That's what she said

More like just because you have a camera and photoshop that does not make you a photographer.

were you taking a picture of the car and then she just popped into the pic?

 

[judman13]

And without them you would still be a great photographer.

haha no, we were just walking around downtown DC taking random photos with the 50 at f/1.8 since I never shoot that lens wide open. I have to say, I was always afraid to do that, but I am really happy with the results. It's actually really sharp wide open.
