Lens help?

~theywillsuffice Jun 14, 2012

So I have a Nikon D5100, with the simple 18-55mm lens that it comes with, however I need a lens upgrade. I'm not an expert when it comes to lens, but I want something with a far zoom as well as nice focus. I have no idea what lens I should get, but I don't want anything about $500 or $600.

Can I get some help with this, please?

Well, what are you looking for? what do you want to use it for? are you looking for a general walk around lens? a wide angle? a telephoto?

Sigma or Tamron 70-300?
I use the tamron one, and it gives quite good results (to me, with a D60)
it also depends on what kind of photos you want to make.

sell the Nikon and get a canon or a Sony DSLR Nikon are a waste of life

but if you are sticking with it

get something that has at least a 2.8/f and wider 16mm-55mm or a locked 35mm at 1.8 they are good for capturing with out using flash

if you want a portrait lens 135mm is true portrait it is the only focal lenght that does not distort any objects.

thats my 2 cents feel free to ask more questions i shall do my best to answer

Nothing above $500?!
How much is too much for your blood?

I dunno, haha. I don't want to go around purchasing a lens that cost more than my actual camera, though.

That's fair then.
I'll leave now.
Possibly hear from you later.

~theywillsuffice Jun 14, 2012

All right, see you.
