Hello Chaps,
I got a Nikon D90 in late 2008, and my photography has been very lacking to say the least. For some reason visiting the fiddy threads has began my love. So much so.. I don't want to shoot anything but prime! Is this a strange philosophy or desire, or are there other prime photographers out there?
My plan is as follows.
Obtain;
Nikon 14-24MM (I know this isnt prime, but I dont want to be getting wide angle lenses for each length! Aim to have by March)
Nikon 28MM 2.8 AF (to be delivered soon)
Nikon 50MM 1.8 AF (Got it, started my love)
Nikon 85MM 1.8 AF (Aiming to buy by May maybe sooner) (Decided to buy the 1.8 of fellow TP member )
Nikon 135MM 2.0 AF (Aiming to buy by Aug)
Nikon 200MM 2.0 AF (If I win the lotto )
Then finally in September 2010 or around that time I aim to get the latest FX mid-range i.e. the next itteration of the D700
Is this sound logic, or am I limiting myself to certain benefits of other lenses? The way I see it is, the 135 should cover any Theatre photography I do, or concerts I go to. The 85mm should be fine for taking pictures of the baby just walking around parks etc, the length should give me enough room to take fairly good pictures. I know lumbering all of these would be much for a walk around photographer, but I am not one of those.
Any ideas or changes you have would be much welcome. Like the Nikon 85mm 1.4, is it as sharp as the 1.8.
Cheers
Dave.
