Think I'm going to be getting a Nikon d3200 in the next few weeks hopefully. I'm familiar with the manual controls and what they do from my previous camera, but will need to get a little experience on what different lenses will do. Not a big fan of either kit lens that comes with it (18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G II DX AF-S ED Zoom-Nikkor and Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G DX AF-S ED Zoom-Nikkor Lens) I'd really prefer the 18-105 that they package with the higher end cameras now. Anyway, I'm thinking about getting the 18-55 kit lens, but then maybe renting a few lenses to see what I like.
I've read through a lot of threads here recommending 35mm 1.8 as a prime lens which would also be good for dark rides. Problem is with getting the new rig budget for lenses is less right now. We are also paying for a trip coming up in December. So I was looking at perhaps renting a lens or two when we go and then deciding what I'd like to get. Have any of y'all every used places like borrowlenses.com or something similar? Might rent a tripod as well.
