Hi guys, I recently bought a D7000, and it came with the 18-105, 3.5-5.6
I used it for a few weeks, and I read up on more lenses, and wanted to get myself a new one (since CNY's around the corner and I'll get $ from ang paos), but only after I know what I needed from experimenting with my kit lens.
I told my dad to help me check out the price of the 50mm 1.8 first, but he went ahead and bought it for me. :kok:
After a few days with it, I find that I have to "force" myself to use it, rather than of choice.
My question is, should I sell my 50 1.8 to fund myself for a 55-200, f/4-5.6 (within my price range) or a Tokina 11-16, or just keep the 50mm f/1.8 and save up for the other lenses?
What are the advantages of keeping the 50 1.8, and under what circumstances should I use it?
I use my camera weekly, going for photowalks with a group of my friends. After a month with my camera, I find that I tend to enjoy taking street and abstract shots more than anything else.
Suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!
