I want to buy a NIKON D40X stand alone camera, what lens should I go with? Thank you!

How to match the lens depends on your application. If you're a beginner, the D40X's pullover is enough for you. If you're specialized in portraits, consider a fixed-focus large-aperture lens. If you're mostly landscape, then a telephoto is also necessary.

Then again, in the photography industry, don't put the equipment first, but should first use the head behind the lens to improve your artistic accomplishment and photography skills.

The head with Nikon D70 is the most cost-effective, and this lens is better in the set.

18 135, the best value for money tourist head. I'll just use it.

The 18 200 is too expensive, and the D70 sleeve does not have a telephoto. 24 85 is no longer wide on d40.

It depends on your actual needs and financial means. Generally, if you are a beginner in photography, it is recommended that you buy a sleeve, this is more introductory, although it is a little worse, but ** is quite suitable, and it is not a pity to change the head in the future, and it is not a pity to be idle.

Or you can also buy the D80 sleeve, which is the 18-135mm one, which has a wide focal length coverage and is very cost-effective. Of course, you can also choose the D70S sleeve head, the 18-70mm one, although it is smaller than the 18-135mm in the focal length, but this one belongs to Nikon's rare honest head, the workmanship is very good, the metal shell, there are 3 layers of ultra-low scattering elements. That's why I chose this 18-70mm one.

If you have a little money to spare and want to achieve the same thing, then you can consider the Nikon 18-200 VR lens. This one has optical image stabilization, which is very suitable for traveling, street sweeping, easy to use, and the focal length covers from wide angle to telephoto, which is very practical and more magnificent. The problem is that it is now relatively high.

Finally, if you are a prime lover, then Nikon definitely has a lot of prime lenses that are suitable for you, 50 is super cost-effective, the imaging quality is very good, suitable for beginners, 50 has good workmanship, good imaging, and the out-of-focus is also very soft, that is, it is more than 1000 points more expensive. The 60 macro is a rare mid-focal macro lens with sharp imaging and a moderate image that can be considered.

You can choose 85 again, 85, and even 105 VR macro, these 3 heads are Nikon's very distinctive heads, of course, as an installed head, these 3 are a bit big and useless, and one is more expensive than the other, of course, **Ge is definitely worthy of his high quality.

To be honest, the usage rate of the ultra-wide-angle head is not too high, so the original factory is too expensive to be exempted.

The analogues should pay attention to the lens motor, otherwise it will not be possible to achieve AF Sigma's 10-20, 12-24 with ultrasonic motor, can be used, but the latter is larger and heavier than your body.

Tokina's 12-24 has a lens motor for the second generation, and the 11-16 also has a lens motor for the 10-24II generation of Tenglong, which may be the cheapest, and it costs 3600 yuan.

Needless to say, the original 10-24 14-24 is naturally two if it is allowed, but if you consider**, you can take a look at the Sigma 10-20 12-24, Tamron 12-24, and you can also see if you can autofocus on the D40X.

Sigma's 1224 can be used now and will be used in the future It is very cost-effective.

Or 8-14

The machines from both Canon and Nikon are good. Their low-to-mid end is about the same. But when it comes to the high-end, it's completely different things, Canon's high-end zoom is cheaper than Nikon, and there are cost-effective F4 small ternary to choose from, Nikon's big ternary is more than 1W is very expensive.

Personally, I prefer the Canon 60D, which is cost-effective

First, the light is insufficient, and you can see that the counters selling jewelry are all shining. Your light is so bad, the dust doesn't look good at all.

Second, the sleeve can't shoot the macro, you have such a small jewelry, use a head to shoot, you have to stay away, otherwise the focus is a problem. Then crop it with high pixels. It would be a little better than your current diagram, but not much better.

Let's go into a macro head, that is, the 85mm, 105mm, and 135mm that shoot flowers, plants, and insects.

Third, the focus is not real, mainly because the distance is too close, and the lens cannot work normally.

It has nothing to do with the fuselage, it's mainly the lens, so change it quickly.

Your machine is fine, and the dog's head won't fail to shoot**.

One of yours is unfocused, and the other is paste. Big taboo!!

And even the lighting is not good.

Buy 2 lamps and a tripod.

Generally, the ISO should not be too high, try to use 100 for studio shooting, use the aperture to block first, the aperture can be smaller, 8-11, if you want a shallow depth of field effect, you can.

If you are asked to buy a shelf, it will not paste if the shutter speed is low, and it is very important for the machine to be stable.

Although the picture quality of this sleeve is not good enough, it is not unusable.

First of all, you're not focusing well, and secondly, post-processing can improve a little.

It is recommended to shoot in NEF format, which can be enhanced in post.

One is the problem of your settings: the ISO should not be higher than 400, the aperture should not be less than 4, and the focus should be tapped, then shot.

What about the shooting information? Shutter priority? Aperture priority?

Program Automatic**? What is the sensitivity value? Shutter speed?

Aperture size? **Compensate? Do you use auxiliary lights and flashes?

I don't know if I can't really analyze this. The questioner is advised to add one.

Look at your dailies, and the focus is like you're on the cardboard background.

To take a picture like this, it is best to use a macro lens.

Yes, but it must have a built-in focus motor in the D-type lens. Since the D40X has eliminated the body focus motor, the AF lens (which does not have a built-in focus motor) can only focus manually when pressed onto the D40X.

In fact, it is not that D-type lenses do not have a built-in focusing motor in the lens, but there are relatively few, such as AF-S 17-35mm gold wide angle), AF-S 80-200 large steel cannon), most D-type lenses do not have a lens body focusing motor, such as AF 35mm 2D, AF 24-85mm F.

How to tell if the D-type lens can autofocus on the D40X is very simple, look at the nameplate on the lens, it is AF-S that starts with the D40X and can autofocus on the D40X (the S in AF-S is SWM, that is, the abbreviation of Quiet Wave Motor), whether it is the D head or the G head. Not the ones that start with af.

The Nikon AF-S 17-35mm F IF-ED, although it has a D-head, starts with the AF-S (the lens body has a built-in focusing motor), and autofocus is possible on the D40X.

The Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm F ED, which is also a D-head, but starts with AF (there is no built-in focusing motor in the lens body), and it cannot autofocus on the D40X.
