My friend is an excellent photographer, but has stayed with film until now. He wants to convert to digital and would like my opinion on the 3 max 4 lenses to keep for private use only, but covering pretty much the whole gamut of photography; nature, family, portraits, street, macro, concerts and theathre, family sporrts, birds. As he never has to worry about selling or getting accepted, he only has his own tests to meet and, I have told him he should compete in competitions, but never for money, just for fun.
He wants to get a D7000 og wait for the successor to the D300s, definitely Nikon. My opinion is twopronged; A with zooms and B wih primes. Here are my recommendation, but knowing the knowledgebase available in this forum I would like him to benefit from this complete knowledge.
A:Zooms; Sigma 10-20, f3.5, Sigma 17-50 f2.8, Sigma 50-135 f2.8
B: Primes: Sigma 20mm f1.8, Nikon 35mm f1.8, Nikon 85mm, f1.8D, Sigma 150mm, f2.8 macro
Could you pls help with your input? You can not talk her out of DX or FX sencors!
Thanks in advanc for your help
