Currently I have a 70-200 f2.8 VR and a 50 f1.8. I am looking to add a lens to my arsenal! I am trying to decide what to do. I currently have found that I will make more money with portrait photography as I have no idea of where to start for wildlife. I aspire to be a wildlife photographer some day but I need to do something that is going to make me money now so I can get the necessary equipment to reach wildlife.
I have about $1200 to spend at this moment but can definitely save up to $2000 if need be. For portraits I was thinking the 24-70 f2.8 at $1700 or a 24-85 f3.5-4.5 Nikkor lens at $300.
Now with these two options in mind and anything else you may be thinking, there is one more thing I want to consider. As another way to bring in money, I plan to speak with local wedding photographers and see they need an assistant and that is where I thought the 24-70 f2.8 would shine.
Of course someday I would like to get a 200-400 f2.8 but that ain't happening anytime soon. Please provide any suggestions. I need a battery grip but I figure that is the least of my worries right now.
Thanks!
