Real fun of DSLR are the lens options .... congrats ..
I guess they had become irrelevant now. If we leave aside the sentimentality, nothing of value will be lost.
Hey ajay124..it is almost same as my kit...I have 18-55, 55-200 and 35mm f/1.8
55-200 is very good for portraits. 18-55 is for landscape. 35mm is for indoor and generally a good walk around lens.
I have traded in the 18-55 as I wanted to 'audition' some new lenses. The 55-200 also seems to be a great lens but I am contemplating upgrading the D40 to D90 or D5100. In which case I may return the 55-200 in order to finance the purchase. Later I would either buy the 55-200 or the 50mm F1/8 as my second lens
. I know next to nothing about lenses but I believe on a DX sensor with a crop factor of 1.5 the 50mm would have an effective focal length of 75mm. Does it make sense to say goodbye to zoom lens and shoot with only the 50mm and 35mm prime lenses? I am not sure but I am willing to give it a try. For the moment I would definitely like to upgrade to D90/5100 even if it means living with only one lens for a while.
Light performs some magic tricks in our back lawn. A little before sunset:
f/18, 1/40, ISO200, WB set to shade, spot metering, ev -0.3, images set to vivid+
f/10, 1/40, ISO200, WB set to shade, spot metering, ev -0.3, images set to vivid+
