Hi everyone. I personally have not been around for AGES, but I am starting to get back into photography. I just want some lens help. I am going to post here what I have posted on DP review in the hope to get some more advice, especially from an aviation photography perspective.
I am going from a Nikon D2X to a D7100 - I am selling the D2X and all associated lenses which were:
Nikkor AF VR 80-400mm 1:45-5.6D ED
Nikkor AF-S 24 85mm 1:3.5-4.5G ED
Nikkor Wide Angle 24mm f/2.8D
I want to take wildlife, aviation and landscape. I have just taken my gear to a local camera shop to see what price they will give me.
I think I am going to get the 7100 Body only and then get the lenses which will suit my style. This is where I need a bit more advice.
The guy is the shop suggested the lens listed below. I put it on the D7100 body and it seemed to be a really great lens. What he did say is that this would be able to be used for all the photography I want to do. I'm not so sure about that. We did not really talk about any other lenses as I want him to give me the price for my old gear before we get into that.
Tamron 18-270 di II VC PZD
For the price though, the Tamron seemed to be a good start.
So, given the type of photography I want to do. I would really appreciate some advice of you fine people regarding lenses. I don't really have a budget, but I don't want to go crazy mad at this point.
