I got a nice 50mm lens for my Nikon for Christmas. It goes down to f1.8, a lot lower than the 3.5 of my zoom lens. The only problem with it is indoor shots in small rooms, it’s hard to back up far enough to get a group picture because of the 1.5x crop factor of the D70. <\/p>\n
Maybe one of these is a good solution? It’s a lot bigger than the diminutive 50mm, but would easily fit in my nice new camera bag. There’s also a much smaller Nikkor lens, but its’ widest is f2.8. Sigma Super Wide Angle 20mm f\/1.8 EX Aspherical DG DF RF Autofocus Lens for Nikon AF-D. <\/p>\n
Of course that still leaves me without a long telephoto, and this is all hypothetical anyway, since I need to save quite a few pennies before getting anything else. The 50mm is GREAT for close-ups in my house, and I’m sure will work very well outside, so it should tide me over for a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
