the camera lens should I buy for my Nikon D40? PLEASE HELP?
I am a beginner and my kit lens broke recently. I love taking pictures almost everything. Portraits, band shots, action shots, etc. I asked these three it would be best to get. I also like zooming in on a lot things. The Sigma 19-200 mm f/3.5-6.3 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/538309-USA/Sigma_77D_306_18_200mm_f_3_5_6_3_II_DC.html The Nikon 35mm f / 1.8 G or http://www.amazon. com/Nikon-35mm-AF-S-Digital-Cameras/dp/B001S2PPT0/ref = sr_1_1? ie = UTF8 & s = electronics & qid = 1272236203 & sr = 1-1 the 55-200mm VR http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-55-200mm-VR-Vibration-Reduction/dp/B000O161X0/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1272236814&sr=8-1-fkmr0
The next logical target would be 55 to 200 mm to give the greatest scope for shooting action, sports and some wildlife. Sigma covers the same focal having its 18-55 mm lens, without duplicating focal lengths. The Nikkor 35 mm lens is kind of strange. It covers the same field of view than the previous 50 mm made in 35 mm cameras. Common, but rarely used when the photographer had a wide angle and telephoto habit to use your D40 While the goal is to be able to use without even having to think too much about the composition: http://photoinf.com/General/KODAK/guidelines_for_better_photographic_composition.html
