The rookie asked for help, about the choice of Nikon lenses

First of all, you need to determine what you care about more, whether it is image quality or wide focal range.

Lenses with good image quality do not have a large zoom ratio, generally not more than three times. Therefore, people who pursue image quality either choose a zoom lens with a small zoom ratio, or go directly to the prime lens, either way, it will increase the trouble caused by changing the lens.

The pursuit of a large zoom ratio of the world's most popular lenses, the picture is convenience, but for the image quality is not so demanding.

Picture quality and convenience are contradictory to a certain extent, there is no universal lens that is both convenient and has excellent imaging, otherwise one lens is enough, and the manufacturer's huge lens group will not be able to step out, hehe.

In fact, I suggest that you use the current lens first, wait until you know what you really need, and then upgrade the equipment in a targeted manner, otherwise it is likely to be tossed and wasted money. And it is generally better to upgrade a larger range, from the cheapest dog head to the average dog head, it is likely that the effect will not meet your expectations.

If you have to upgrade, for future consideration, upgrade a better lens, such as 16-35 or 17-35, although the budget will be higher, but it is much better than buying a lens for a while and then selling it.

Finally, don't be entangled in order to get together the focal length, think about your shooting preferences and main shooting subjects, naturally understand your main focal length, spend more budget on this focal length, the so-called good steel is used on the blade, we are not lens testers and collectors, there is no need to spend so much money to buy a bunch of lenses to put around.

If you don't know the main focal length when shooting, you can buy a large zoom lens and use it for a while to know. For example, 18-105

The key depends on what exactly you feel weak!

Why does 18-55 feel weak, and how much is the difference between 24-85 and your 18-55? If you feel that the degree of bokeh is not enough, it is better to buy a fixed focal head, the price is relatively cheaper, and especially to exercise photography skills, it is more tiring, and you need to find the angle back and forth. The 18-105 is definitely better than the 18-55 one, but you'd better know what you want to shoot!

It is highly recommended that 18 105 on 16 85 APS-C is better than 24 85 on the full frame.

The 5100 you use I think you still have to explore it first 18 105 don't underestimate its image quality It's much better than the header of the Canon I think it's good with it The main thing is that it's not expensive When you practice it well, with a full-frame camera, it's not a pity to throw away the 105 Then consider the full-frame lens I think the wide-angle is still needed You can't shoot landscapes with 24 85.

So to give you an example, if the picture quality of 2485 is 98 points, then 18 105 is 94 points, often SLR things are a little bit of improvement, with several times the ** to exchange, the difference is not so obvious, just the aperture 24 85 is larger.

So, it is still highly recommended that 18 105 is not distressed if you don't have much money to throw away, and the picture quality is not so bad.

The head of 18-105 is generally not bought, so you should buy an 18-200 shot and play with it first

As for the full-frame machine in the future, you have to choose the gold circle head of FX, and you will consider it later when you have money.

The 5100 does not have a body motor, so the only thing that can be suggested is to use a lens with a motor with a lens.

24-85 This head is good, but not many people use it now, this 2-hand head is super cost-effective, and it is also practical with 1:2 macro.

85mm is enough for the DX without a wide angle.

In fact, it's okay to get a 2-hand 16-85, and it won't lose much to change 2 hands for 2 hands in the future, so you can have a wide angle now.

In short, 24-85 is not a loss, much better than 18-105, 18-55 plus 24-85 or second-hand 16-85 is recommended

If you want to buy one that supports full frame, you can only consider the fixed focus head, and the price of zoom is too great.

The 35mm fixed focus is worth getting.

Hello, I have used AF 24-85 D This head is very worth using, don't look at it as 24mm but don't forget that it supports full frame, if you use it on DX is a bit not wide enough, but daily use is no problem, if you consider changing FX This head can replace AF-S 24-70 G; 18-105mm you buy it means that you will throw it in the future, don't talk about spending money in vain, the most important thing is not to look at it marked with 105mm, which is actually equivalent to 18*, not as wide as 24-85mm; I suggest that you pay attention to the angle and viewing angle when you buy a head, which is an important parameter to pay attention to short focus!

Don't change. 18-55 is good, the resolution is high, the magnification is high, and it's light and cheap.

I'll give you a suggestion, go and spend 700 yuan to buy a header, shoot it and see, the picture quality is definitely not inferior to the professional head. And usually the photographer has to have a header, so no matter how much you improve, it's not a loss. If you want to progress, you must be able to use headers.

I couldn't afford a lot when I was a student, and that header helped me a lot.

18-105mm, use first. The body of the full-frame lens is fully replaced.

When I bought the Nikon D700, I bought the following three lenses at the same time:

1. af-s 14-24mm f/ ed2. af-s 24-70mm f/ ed3.

The AF-S 70-200mm F ED VR 3 of the lenses are now the AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm F ED VR II

In the film era, I used prime focus heads, and I still have a dozen or so Nikon prime heads on hand.

The bird shot can be used to shoot people, and the effect will definitely surprise you!

In the past, I used to take 300 shots of my daughter from a distance of more than ten meters, and my expression was absolutely natural.

I have always believed that when taking portraits, the person being photographed will always have an unnatural expression, and after all, he is not a model who has been photographed all year round. At this time, the farther away from the subject, the less psychological burden the person will be. It's like snapping. Therefore, my usual portrait heads are 180 and 300.

After sending it out, I saw that what you wanted to enter was a D7000. I didn't delete it after knocking it for a long time.

I have always been worried about Nikon's failure to launch a mass professional lens like Xiaoxiaobai.

But I would like to recommend a similar AF-S 24-120mm F 4G ED VR.

In addition, the AF 80-200mm F ed has a good price/performance ratio.

There is only one type of Nikon telephoto 70-200 lens, and that is the small bamboo cannon. Also written: xzp.

**Not expensive, more than 15,000. Either enter 70-300, this first second generation also has anti-shake. **Low, but the imaging is much worse than XZP.

But neither of these two have a wide angle, don't you deserve a wide angle head? Light ready to shoot birds?

There is really no lens similar to that of loving Xiaoxiaobai, there is a 70-300VR, but unfortunately it is not a constant aperture. There are three generations of small steel cannons at the same price. Do you think telephoto is very commonly used?

The D7000 with 16-85VR is more suitable, and I think wide-angle and mid-focus are more commonly used. Nikon's lens group is still very rich, not inferior to Canon.

You can take a look at the small steel cannon, ** the brand new is about 7,000, and the second-hand one is about 4800. I've used this lens, and I like her color and bokeh, but it's too heavy, about three pounds, and it's still very powerful to match the lotus hood style of a sub-factory, haha.

It is still more than 7,000 in the fourth generation of 80-200 small gang guns in constant aperture, and more than 4,000 in the third generation.
