Hello guys
Let me first warn you that I am absolutely clueless when it comes to photography. Which is why I came to this forum. I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I have a new job working for a framed art publisher as the web master. Part of my job involves taking pictures of framed art. We just bought a spiffy new SLR camera for the job. It's a Nikon D3000 digital camera. Problem is when we bought it we didn't know when they advertise "Body" in the title what they mean is it doesn't come with a lens.
So now I'm lens hunting and I am very overwhelmed as someone who knows nothing about Cameras. Let me describe what we need. We need a general purpose lens between 100 and 200 dollars (cheaper if it cans still get the job done well). And keep in mind that the main purpose of the camera is to take pictures of framed art. So if there is any lenses that would benefit that job that would obviously be awesome.
I hate to shove my search work on you guys but I'm just a bit overwhelmed. There are so many lens options out there and I don't know what any of them do! If you guys could help me out I'd be very grateful!
