Hey everyone,
I currently have the 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR & the 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX VR and I'm thinking about what piece of equipment I should get next. I'm thinking either a flash or a new lens.
The flash I'm thinking about is the "Nikon SB-700 AF Speedlight Flash".
The two lens that I am looking at is the "Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens" or the "Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR Lens"
What I want to do?
Be able to take photos in low light scenarios...
Questions I have:
1) I believe if I get the flash, I'll be able to use it with the lens that I already own, to compensate for not having a 2.8 or better lens (assuming I can use a flash where ever I am). Is this correct?
2) Would the 35mm DX lens actually have a focal length of 35mm on my nikon 5100 or does the crop factor play a role in it and its really a focal length at about 50mm?
3) The 50mm is a FX lens, so it will have the crop factor and really have a focal length of 75mm of so on my nikon 5100?
Thanks for any answers or insight you can give.
