Hey guys!
I just stole a D80 with 18-135 from ebay. I also pulled a trigger instinctively on a 50 mm 1.8. Now, I wish to shoot a wide range of things:
insects, animals, homeless people, sunsets, and plants. Also, some family pics as well, but I think I mentioned their category already
I am thinking I need one more or 2 lenses. I think I need something with good macro and telephoto capabilities. I have a little money left over, as in 200 bucks. So not sure what lense should I get? Is there any good non-AF macro lens that was not designed for DSLR, but can work in MF mode on my D80? I know I probably will lose metering, but how severely will that impact my photos? I seen some wonderful photos with the Zuiko lens, can anyone suggest anything about them?
I have also been eyeing the Nikon 70-300 nonVr version. Is this a good/undervalued lens or is it the fatkid of lenses...always gets picked last?
Cheers!
