TPF Noob!
Hi everyone! I am new to TPF, and just getting into photography.
I found my point and shoot digital was just too limiting for me.
After extensive research I went out and bought:
Nikon D80
Sigma 17-70 2.8-4.5 Macro lense
Remote
72mm UV filter
Eclipse cleaning solution
Now that I have spent my life savings on the above equipment, the wife is going to be pretty stingy about letting me spend more on lenses.
So I will be primarily looking at the used market for deals. I know I am going to get a 50mm prime, those are easy to find inexpensively.
Any suggestions? The type of lenses I want are:
70-300mm zoom (or similar range)
50 or 100mm Macro
I would also consider old manual lenses too, any gems out there to watch for?
