I mainly photograph, for travel, and my kids. Which lens would be best for me to invest in? 55mm? What do you suggest? I mainly work with a tamron lens 17-85mm I believe at work (portrait photography) Thanks....![]()
Okay so, the 35mm or 50mm, they shoot pretty much anything beautifully. Are they great in dark rides as well? I don't mind not having the telephoto, I just want beauty. I will look into both lenses, I was also told the 30mm lens by sigma was a fantastic lens as well. How does that fair with the other 2 listed?
Thanks so much. :animwink:
Thank you kindly....so I can't go wrong with either one. Yes? Tell me though, why would I need a "wider lens" 30mm when it crops anyway, or was that the 50mm that crops? lol
I know you said it depends on the camera body/sensor. I was debating between the nikon d5100 and d7000 don't they both have the same sensor?
So I think I have decided since I have to be under 1K. I'm thinking the nikon
d5100 with the sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens....![]()
Are you buying one lens only?
If so, I would strongly recommend getting a zoom for travel and kids shots. It's going to be really annoying being fixed at 30mm. It isn't particularly wide on a crop, nor is great for portraits. They can be a great lens, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't want to be stuck at that range and have no other option.
What about the lens that comes with the D5100? No?
Most of my experience is portrait photography.....I have used the standard lens that came with my canon 40d 28-135....it's not bad...just not quite what I'm looking for. I saw some photography on here using the 30mm lens and was blown away. I guess I could look into a telephoto lens....
