Dan668 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) Bought a D5100 last year with a 18-55 lens in the kit. Pretty accustomed to it. Looking to buy 2 more lenses, before i purchase, anyone have any recommendations? Right now, im interested in grabbing the 50mm A-F-S 1.8g, and the VRII 70-300mm ED from Nikon new since the prices listed on kijiji are just a few dollars off on a used set. Thanks Edited June 2, 2012 by danbob
JustinHoffman Posted June 2, 2012 Report Posted June 2, 2012 Hey Danbob, If you are interested in doing more wildlife/bird shots, consider getting something a little longer than 300mm. That is what I started off with (and it did work when dealing with wildlife that I could get fairly closer to) but I decided to upgrade last week to a Sigma 150-500mm. Mine is a Canon mount, but Nikon is also available. The quality is awesome..and with the optical stabilizer, it can be used for hand-held shots. Check out my post a few below this - "Bought a New Lens - a Few Bird Images" - to see how the first day or two went with the new lens. A 50mm is definitely a great (and inexpensive) option if you plan on doing a lot of portrait-style shots. Good luck, Justin
