Torn, too many choices: Nikon upgrade

federerphotography · 01-13-2009, 12:06 PM

I realize you kind of already made your choice... but one glaring weakness in your bag is nothing 'fast'.

I'd pick up a fast prime... the older generation 50mm f/1.4 isn't that spendy, and the 50 f/1.8 is downright cheap.

After taking pics you can finally find what you need and like after shooting.

Edit: The free trade was quite a good deal. Have fun with your D90!

You cannot beat a free upgrade. Well done.

Now go shoot a ton of pics and enjoy your camera!

Thanks and will do!

The kit isn't the only stuff I have...

I do have a 50 1.8 that I use more than everything else.

Plus my SB-800 and kept my mb-d80, spare batteries, Sekonic L318 (though I get better results with the builtin meter it seems) filters and such to use with my new one.
