[QUOTE="Jipster, post: 419434, member: 97"] I'm a beginner myself so my choice of lens a bit screwed up lah. What I have now is the 18-55 kit lens (came with camera so cant argue with that - btw the D40 itself is used buy), a Tamron 28-75 that does f2.8 which i find is pretty cool for my needs and a 35 f1.8 which is excellent for low light hand held shots. What i really want is the 18-200 for the versatility..... but am learning to live with the 28-75. The tamron works pretty well I must say and is a good buy in my book. No regrets. The 35mm was an impulse buy just before hari raya. I was thinking will be taking a lot of shots indoors of people so went for it. Its proved to be really worthwhile for portraits and shots indoors or lowlight. I took the 35 with me on a recent trip to Switzerland. It was the only lens i brought as I wanted to see if I could live with only a fixed lens ....... the result surprised me. I managed. You just cant be lazy with it. It forces you to think about your shots and move in and out as required to frame it. It worked well for architectural shots (my fave), people low light or outside with good light. Excellent.... (cheapish too). I'm probably talking bollocks right now.... its just my 2 cents on this photog thing.... I'm enjoying myself though :rock: [/QUOTE]
