What to buy lenses for nature photography a Nikon D200?
I'm about to buy a Nikon D200 for my backpacking trip in Canada. This will be my first digital camera and I'd like to get some lenses Nice. I've been looking around and so far I think what I like is the 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor for my main, 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor lens for macro, 18-35mm f/3.5- 4.5D IF-ED AF Zoom-Nikkor lens for wide angle, 85mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor for a telephoto lens, and 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor lens and a fisheye. Are these the best options? I'm a day in Nikon equipment I am not sure if I'm making the right decisions.
That plus a tripod is a lot of equipment to carry around … unless the photograph is the purpose of his trip. The 18-200: a great all-in-one lens, if you can find in stock anywhere. 105mm micro good option:. 10.5mm fisheye: another great lens. The fhotoace suggests that 12-24 is also very good if you really do not want or need the fisheye distortion. The 12-24mm replaces the legendary 17-35 for digital organisms. The 17-35 is still the lens of the landscape to beat in terms of image quality, but uncomfortable is a big factor, with 1.5 crop. You losing me with 18-35mm and 85 mm f / 1,8. Or rather, why buy a $ 750 18-200mm if it is not good enough? You may skip these three lenses and obtain a 12-24mm in combination with a medium grade 18-70 f/3.5-4.6 and used professional quality 80-200mm f/2.8. Or a new 70-200mm 2.8 if cash is not a problem. And if the cash and the weight is not a problem, well get the 17-55 mm f/2.8 instead of the 18-70mm. You can use the 80-200 and 70-200, in combination with Teleconverters extend reach.
