Slight hijack: what lens is the Sigma? Macro lens? If so I'll tap you up for suggestions on macro for my D5000. :)

 

In the absence of Graham tonight, it looks like a nice Sigma 10-20mm ultra wide angle lens.

 

I have one on my 7D. Great for some landscapes and architectural shots.

 

It's a nice lens for cars if you like the really close up/slightly distorted look. Good for freakish portraits too. Although, as it goes to 20mm, it's not a bad walk around lens.

Thanks ;)

 

Yes sigma 10-20. Lovely wide angle lens. It's a DX (cropped sensor) format so not great on my D3.

 

As for macro, it depends on subject, I prefer flower and plant so absolutely love my old manual focus 55mm 2.8. Sharp and small!! I had a sigma 105, which was very good, but I did not get along with it.

 

Well I am now using the D3 with 50mm 1.4 and 17-35 2.8 lenses. For everything else the Olympus ep1. Might be changing the ep1 for the Sony nex7, but waiting for the release.... Want to handle it to see if I like.

Id love these but comes with no lense :(

The 18-55mm Nikon kit lens (the basic lens that the cameras tend to ship with) is roughly £100 new, significantly less 2nd hand I would guess.

 

You won't get a Dslr like that, with a lens, at that price :)

 

Yea I know mate, was wishful thinking. I know these aren't cheap, friend at work has one.

 

Superb price for a great cmaera - I have the D40 and with the extra bits on the 40X, this is too good to miss for somebody.

 

Ideal for Dragonball folks!! :D

 

Thanks all. The reason for no kit lens, is because I never liked it. I would honestly go for a 50mm 1.8 (can be had for very cheap) for this camera, something like:

How cheap is cheap? You need to be a member for the link to work :)

 

It's sold anyway mate (also would have been manual focus only).

 

A kit lens would be cheap to buy second hand for this, would give a decent focal range and auto-focus :)

eBay - £60-80

 

personally I would spend more on something like the 16-85mm lens, but the 18-55mm is a decent starter lens.

Absolutely mate. Just comes down to the ££ and a kit lens should never be that difficult to sell on should an upgrade be required.
