What is the best brand of lens for a nikon digital slr camera?
I am interested in getting a Nikon D80. There Nikkor, Sigma, Nikon, etc. What is the best lens for this? Help please! I also ask if a Nikon D80 is a good buy. I currently own a Canon 350D (Digital XT) and I'm very happy with it.
If you are satisfied with the XT, why buy a new camera? And if you want to upgrade, why not have a Canon 20D LEAST $ 50 to a Nikon D80 and save yourself the trouble and cost to achieve new goals. Or stick with your 350D and invest in better lenses from Canon. The D80 is a great camera – Better than the 350D / 400D – but I do not understand, and I'm a Nikon (D200)! Anyway, if you get a D80, Nikon lenses (Nikkor alias) are your best option, provided they do not get the best you can find. Your zoom $ 150 are as bad as things cheaper by Tamron / Tokina / Sigma. Sigma EX lenses, etc. are better than cheap things, and Nikon's pro lenses are as good as Canon L lenses. For a good starter lens, consider the $ 310 Nikon 18-70mm. This is the goal that came as a kit with the Nikon D70s. The objective of the nikon d80 kit is a 18-125mm zoom – is the same price as the 18-70, but you pay for the extra zoom range in terms of quality optics and construction. More expensive options are the $ 900 Nikon 18-200mm in an all-in-one lens, or the $ 1200 Nikon 17-55mm lens for photojournalism professional quality type.
