Hi Photolovers,
I purchased a D80 off of ebay. Not too long ago, I asked everyone about the best USED SLR, but I went off in a tangent and spent more money that I should have (got the D80 body for $599 which I think was a good deal that I couldn't pass up). Now, as a complete Noob, I need a decent lens with this body that won't break the bank. Please help!
- Prefer a used lens budget ~$200
- Can't afford VR lenses
- Zoom Capability, thinking of a 18-70mm
- Good Optics and Sharpness
- Bonus: Macro shots (Micro close ups)
- Good Resale Value
Is there such a bargain lens that would work for me? I considered the lens that usually comes with the D80 in the package. Or I can save some money and get an older generation lens that came with the D70. Is there a difference?
Thanks!
Ken
