I want a new lens????

[SW Studio]

I have the Nikkor 50mm 1.8, 85mm 1.8 and the boring kit lens. I shoot Portraits and would like to get into wedding Photography? I was thinking about the 35mm.

Why is kit lens boring? Which one is it. What body?

D5100 Just ordered 7100 im just a huge fan of bokeh. also i find it very cheap and the quality isn't there for me. Just a personal opinion.

Sorry its the 18 to 55mm

I think the usability of the d7100 over the d5100 is substantial, I think image quality will be very similar.

The 35mm Nikon dx is a very good cheap lens. It's well worth having. If you consider doing events such as weddings I think a fast standard zoom such as a sigma 17-50 os and a flash are good buys also

The funny thing is i had the sigma 17-50 new out of box and it was broken. so i returned it for the 85mm because they did not have anymore in stock. I love the 85 but need a zoom lens as well. do you shoot weddings?

Never as the main photographer, just as a back up guy. So the pressure wasn't there per say, but still got the experience of the light, or lack of that can be inside a church.

I have shot a few christenings and charity events in similar locations to wedding receptions. Fast lenses are necessary, along with a little knowledge and people managing

The 35mm seems like a good idea, however if you need a zoom why not a 70mm-200mm

yeah the 70-200 is defiantly in my future purchase. cha ching

The 70-200 is very useful at these things on a full frame, not as much so on a crop.

You should look at sigmas New 50-100 f1.8
