That's a little much for my blood

Thai, you use a 60 don't you? Good for utility out do I need a zoom?

85/1.4 cream machine?!

I'm counting pennies for my next lens.

[SunnyHouTX]

Thanks Marshall. Can you recommend a certain lens for everyday use? 50 1.4? Or is the 60 2.8 good for that?

[photogdude]

great camera for the price. you absolutely want nothing slower than an 2.8 lens. a great lens is the 85 1.8

try keh.com for used stuff, they have been around forever. also about the crop factor. i say ignore it, it's kinda irrelevant unless you already have a good idea of what the lens will give you on a 35mm FF system.

BTW Trung.... Nikon rules!

That camera is older but its still sexy. Nice pick up

Ive got a lens you can borrow its a kit lens that cam with my d90 but it does the job till you get something.

I plan on hanging on to this one long term so I will slowly add some nice 1:2.8 lenses as I go.

Baller camera at bargain basement price. Couldn't pass it up

+1 on any lens with VR...

I love my 35mm 1.8 it has a metal mount and best buy carries it so it is easy to get lol...

But that is a baller camera so you need baller glass LOL

Pictures of new camera PLEASE....unlike Bee. :)

Here are the pics posted on pixtus Thai. Its looks don't hurt either.

I prefer the 35mm f1.8 and 50mm f1.8 as a fish lens/ everyday lens but some people like the 60mm f2.8. All comes down to preference I guess.

Canon or Nikon, can't go wrong with either or. I would avoid the 18-55 vr unless you can get it for dirt cheap like 50 bucks.

+1!

18-55 is best used as a paper weight.

I started with the 50/1.8f. I still use it on fish shots. Its a great group shot lens for fish.

You can also try the 50/1.4f. I tried Jim's and its a low light beast. Bokeh looks nice too.

No 18 - 55 VR for me. Sellers want $90+ for them and that's not worth it and the plastic lens mount is a turn off.

Since this is a DX body, should I worry about "crop factor" when picking up any of these lenses?

Thanks! I was close to buying a Canon man, but the more I read about this one the more I like it. I'm working out a deal for a 60mm 2.8 soon as my main fish lens which might end up being my main lens if I like it as much as I think I will.

I saw that camera on craiglist. Nice find. Where are all the canon folk? All Nikon up in here.
