New Camera, New Lenses, New Bill.

[Dao]

I know that some might say that I was an idiot for buying those,

Yes, you are an idiot .... you should get them months ago (j/k) Congrats for the new toys. So now, where are the unbox photos??

 

[jaomul]

I would have went to two lenses from the same manufactor - probably Tamron - but whatever.

Congrats on the new gear !

Doesn't matter once there compatible

You need a 50mm f1.4 in your life

I really want the 58mm 1.4G, can't justify it right now though.

When you die, would you rather have 4 grand laying around you never used or some sweet equipment that allowed you to enjoy life?

I say good on you! treat yourself

Have fun with your kit. I did that spending spree a few years back - Nikon; D700, 28-70/2.8, 70-200/2.8 VR1, Sb-800. Have not regretted it once.

Its not so much the idiot comments I mean you get those whatever you do it just that an 85mm nikkor was recommmeded to me by a higher authority.

Higher authority? What are the qualifications for being "higher authority"?

A good dose of Solar negative waves as always, but I see your point.

Today I locked the cautious part of my physic outside for a period and I went a bought a new camera and two lenses all for the tidy sum of 4 GRAND!! and now that Iv'e done this I am experiencing a variety of emotions: Excitement, Denial, Hesitation, Paranoia, and a empty wallet.

What Ive got is a d750 a Nikkor 24 70 f2.8 and a Sigma 70 200 f2.8, I know the Sigma is not Nikkor but I'm not Lorenzo DeMedici.

I know that some might say that I was an idiot for buying those, particularly as I asked for opinions, but I felt the 24 70 might work for me overall not just the specific area. I hope I'm right

I felt the same way when I bought the Df.

No regrets.

Have fun. Create.

I didn't know they make a 50mm f1.4 for DX cameras

That's very cool. Only a few hundred more for some decent filters and you're set!

(Would recommend second-hand B+W, Heliopan, Tiffen or Hoya; all in excellent condition, "like new", hardly used.)

Are you sure ?
From what I know Nikon has four AF 50mm lenses 1.8D, 1.8G, 1.4D, 1.4G and all are FX lenses.
Nikon has very few DX primes like the 35mm, 40mm, 85mm and maybe I missed one more but I think that's it.

No I meant the lense I have is a 30mm sigma DC HSM. The DC stands for cropped does it not
