I am buying my first SLR camera. What I have to buy lenses?
I am buying my first SLR – the Nikon D40 probably getting this. I'm doing a summer photography course. But I have to buy lenses? It comes with a "55 mm f/3.5-5.6 G-18 kit lens is a great ride-on lens. This gives a good 3x zoom. "Is that enough for now? I'll be using for general photography – not professional. I like to take pictures, basically! I do not know anything about the lenses. Please give me some useful knowledge?
Well choosing your first camera, and good choice with the taking of the photography class. You will learn how to use it properly because of that class. Http: / / www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d40/use … This will help with your d40, can start reading now if you wish. Now on your lenses. A 18-55mm lens is a fairly standard range. Wide angle to slightly telephoto. You have to remember that you do not have a full-frame sensor (digital SLR which are usually around $ 5000), so the D40 multiply the focal length of 1.5 to obtain the range real, since there is a crop factor, all Nikon SLRs have crop factor of 1.5, while the fee is 1.6. So the 18-55mm lens becomes a 27-82mm. This is a good range, I would say is similar to a typical point and shoot with a 3x zoom, angle, but maybe a little wider and slightly more telephoto in comparison with a point and shoot. Should be enough for now. You will learn more about the lens in its class. That lens is not an opening to receive notes, is a f3.5-5.6, two numbers for the changes to opening more as we capture. Anyway to answer your question that should be enough to start. You can get a 50 mm f1.8, which is a primary goal is not a zoom. You have 50 mm zoom lens, but keep in mind that it is a prime target for the quality of the 50mm f1.8 will be much better images to zoom … very strong at f4 or more. Also, the maximum aperture is 1.8 so you can get a lot more depth of field surface (blurred backgrounds) and shoot in low light. The 50mm f1.8 is less than $ 100. If you feel like you would need more zoom, I'd get a consumer zoom lens, perhaps 55-200 mm. consumer lenses usually means an opening that changes as you zoom, professional lenses have a fixed aperture. Like the 70-200 mm f2.8, which means Opening doens't change as you approach … but then again the lenses are like $ 2,000 each. I know this may be too technical, but you will learn more and make sense. You made a good choice for a camera to enter the world of photography. I'm sure you will enjoy it, and once more is learned you can buy lenses you need. Then you can upgrade your body later and aligns lenses. I also write some information for you that can be useful before you start let me remind you to buy from reputable sellers online, as beachcamera.com, bhphoto, buydig, Adorama, Ritz Camera, J & R, Amazon, eBay, NO. There are reputable dealers on eBay, however, also has a lot of "gray market" versions of cameras, which are basically non-US versions. Look around the sites I mentioned to get the best price. Just remember to check resellerratings.com and BBB.org view seller's reputation. There are a lot of scammers online these days. I would stick with the purchase of a site that has resellerratings positive and / or the good standing with BBB. Another thing to never forget, MEGAPIXELS NO MATTER NO, is a marketing tool. Any photographer will tell megapixels have nothing to do with image quality. Unfortunately many people think that the more megapixels, better camera. Above 5 or 6 megapixels is more than sufficient for most purposes, but those are useful when making prints GREAT. Fortunately, most cameras these days come with at least 6 so that need to worry about mp. In general, I also remember, is the photographer who makes photos look good and that the professional makes the pictures look "professional." An amateur gives better results with a point and then shoot them with a digital SLR. You have to spend time to learn photography, take classes and understand composition to take better pictures with their cameras, dslr. Info These are the really serious cameras with interchangeable lenses. These will cost a lot! Are interchangeable lenses and offer great flexibility and creative control. When you buy these buy a system and build on it with life by buying more lenses as you go, flashes, tripods, etc etc. Just one of the lenses only cost you more than your point and shoot will be, so they are not cheap. Photography is not cheap. Not only look at the price of the camera body to buy an SLR. DSLRs are expensive as buying a system. The lenses are more important than the body and lottt cup run a more bodies. The bodies do not matter, you can always upgrade them, but the lenses are with you always. Here are my recommendations for digital SLRs "input. If you are a beginner level, I suggest this and then after you learn everything you can upgrade if you feel necessary. Also I suggest taking a photography class at a local university. My suggestions for this range are Nikon D40, Canon Rebel XS (around $ 500 or less complete with lens) mid-level DSLR: Canon XSi or T1i New ($ 700 for xsi, $ 900 for T1i with lens). I prefer these to the Nikon, Nikon, however, also has its D60 and D5000 you may want to look. "More professional models or Nikon d90 nikon D300 or Canon EOS 40D, Canon EOS 50D ($ 1000). I would say this if you have experience in photography or a film SLR or previous dslr. Between Canon and Nikon, it's a personal preference. One is not better than that.: Full-frame cameras others these are the most expensive in the world and will last about as much as the car in first place for the whole system, so I do not recommend these because if you were in the market for these I am sure that there would be no question here yahoo answers, you would be taking professional photos for a living:. NOTE Canon and Nikon are the two and the biggest and best companies when it comes to cameras. Canon by far the leader when it comes to the point and shoots. In SLR, is debatable, but I prefer Nikon SLR and I know many who prefer Canon SLR cameras. Just remember when you buy a DSLR you get to stay with. The lenses are much more important than the body because the body can always be upgraded, but the lenses to be with you forever. I suggest stick with Canon or Nikon. Http: / / www.flickr.com/groups/d40nikon/pool/ This is done with all the images from the D40 and lens kit. The lens makes a difference in the world SLR, the camera body means nothing. But regardless, you can get excellent results with the kit lens.
