Hi everyone, I'm working with a blank slate here. I recently purchased a Nikon D3300 in February of this year and have been out and about using it since then (have noticed some improvement as I look back at my early photos, so that's nice). Anyway, I'm going to WDW this year in mid-December. Right now I just have the kit lens (18-55mm) that came with it. It has been serving me well enough, but it of course has limitations (but was nice of them to include it, making the first time DSLR purchasing process easier).
Now I want to get a new lens to bring on my trip. I figure it's best to determine what I want now and not wait and get my lens caught up in holiday shipping traffic. I want something that will be somewhat versatile, but if I were to go specific I'd be down for a decent wide angle lens (always like the distorted look they give, especially since I like doing scenic shots, and am hoping to get some nice building and street shots throughout the parks).
Inevitably, my other issue is I also want to get a lens that can do nice portraits since it's a family trip. Mainly, I want something that can give nice bokeh.
There are two lenses so far that I've found to be pretty nice:
AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G
Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens
Just based on a few hours of research, it seems the Nikkor 35mm may be the better option, but again, not sure. Looking at the threads on here, it's clear you guys know what you're doing, which is why I'm curious as to what your opinions and suggestions are.
Thanks for any help.
