Hello all
just a quick one at the moment i have a nikon d3000 with a 18 - 55 Nikon lens,that's the one that came with the camera,but i am thinking of upgrade it to a 16-85mm Nikon lens
Is any one using this lens,could you give me some pro's and con's
Thanks in advance,Ian
Thanks for the reply to be honest i want to use it as a portrait lens so i would not be using the wide end much if at all,was thinking about a prime lens 85mm f/1.4G,but that is a FX lens and also it sells for around £1200 and i want to use the lens on a D3000 so i looked at the 16- 85 DX lens ![]()
Once again thanks for the reply,Ian
Why not look at the Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.8 with the crop factor it is fairly close to the 85mm on a full frame.
Personally on a Nikon D5000 I went to a Nikon 50mm f1.4 and now would choose that over the kit lens unless I need something wider but that was before the 1.8 came out so probably I would consider that now.
or the nikon af-s 60mm micro lens and it has vr built in and can obviously be used for macro aswell should you want?
