got it this morning off joxby and a bloody good camera it is too makes my d40 look positivly slow lol my question is whats a decent fast walkabout lens to get for it?
i dont really wanna spend more than 200 quid on it though
Get a 50mm f/1.8D only around £85 so a very good buy. I have loads of photos from it on my Flickr and seeing as I also have a D70 I would have a look if I was you
Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 is a really good lens worth checking out too... fantastically sharp including wide open with a nice bokeh and neutral colour cast - amazing zoom lens for the money.
The 50mm cherryrig mentions above has loads more character and is sharper, but that's prime lenses for you - get both
how about the sigma 24-70 2.8? £220 from one stop. I've just bought one, haven't used it properly yet, but from the limited use i've had so far I'm bloody happy
I've got the Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4.5, can be had for £215 here. If you looking for something a bit long then your talking about a superzoom, like a 18-200mm or the tokina 24-200, these are a compromise so image quality can suffer.
I got rid of my D40 for a D70s, best decision i made....i've used my sisters D40X a couple of times since and it feels horrible to use.
Great choice mate.
I went fom the D70 to the D200 and in many respects I found the D70 better than the 200. I have since gone for the D300 and although I haven't used it much so far, I am highly delighted with it. You have made a good choice with the D70.
