I use a Nikon D3000, and with it came vouchers for £50 off a "35MM F1.8G AF-S DX for D3000 + AF-S DX 18-55VR" and £45 off a
"55-200MM F4.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX BLACK for D3000 + AF-S DX 18-55VR"

After some searching in Google I worked out that’s about £50 total for the zoom lens, and about £70 for the macro? I want a macro and zoom lens since I’m currently doing all types of photography, but are these actually worth buying? Seems way too cheap for a zoom or macro lens.

I’m doing live photographs of bands, promo for bands, modelling, landscapes, nature photography.

The only down sides I could find in reviews were that they *felt* cheap, and you had to look after them well – these aren’t really problems for me. At that price I’m willing to put up with it feeling a little tacky, as long as I still get some great pictures. But if these lenses are actually crap, I’ll probably go for a wide-angle lens like the Sigma 10-20mm, since this would be useful for band promo and dereliction projects. But getting a zoom lens AND macro would really help to vary my work further – at the moment I only have the 35-50mm standard kit lens.

Also, I don’t know what the "+ AF-S DX 18-55VR" means – does this mean the autofocus is limited?

Thanks for any help, will choose best answer.

OK so basically, I have a number of things I need/want to shoot, and I need to buy some more lenses. I am on a pretty tight budget though so if anyone could give me a list of lenses (preferably a short list of multi purpose lenses) that would be awesome!!
1. I want to shoot macro photography so I need a macro lens. Does a macro lens have to be used just for macro shots or can it double up?
2. A wide-angle lens for landscapes
3. a Reasonable telephoto lens that goes to maybe 300mm for wildlife
4. A nice all round lens for portraits/landsscapes

So what is the minimum number of lenses to buy that will cover all of these?
I am a pentax user, so if you could list only lenses supplied by pentax for sigma/tamron etc for pentax

THANKS SO MUCH!!!

I work with a teenager in foster care who is interested in photography, and I want to show her some things. I have a great Nikon digital SLR camera, also a macro-lens and a wide angle lens, but I’m still kind of new tot his. What are some tips or techniques I can teach her? The more interesting the better!

Here are some basic things I already know:
Using RAW images instead of JPEG, shutter speed manipulation, the rule of thirds, taking photos of things like pets and flowers at their level

Thanks in advance for any replies!

I want to buy a wide-angle lens for my Nikon D3000. Unfortunately I haven’t got 0 lying around to buy theirs. I found a few from seemingly reputable sellers online, can anybody tell me if these are ok or if they will not work? I don’t know a lot about photography and I don’t plan to make it a career or anything, but I love photographing mountains and could really use a lens that will take a wide picture.

I hope my question makes sense. I want to be able to take long photos.
I’m not kidding, I said already I don’t know much at all about photography, please don’t make fun of me! This is the whole reason I’m asking, is so I can know. No need to be a snot about it.

What alternatives would you suggest for a wide angle lens? Is there anything I can get for under 0? It doesn’t need to be top of the line. If that just isn’t possible you should just say.

I’ve got a 16mm wide angle lens, and a 30mm macro lens. The 30mm has higher detail but takes around five seconds to auto focus so manual focus is a must. I’ve never really taken any car photography, but I’m going to the Philadelphia auto show soon and I really only want to bring one lens.
Thanks for the input!

Is there such a thing as a macro lens which also provides a wide angle view? And if there is, is there one which is kind of small? By "small" I mean it’s not one of those huge lenses used for hardcore photography. Something which will fit on my modded Flip Ultra HD (I can put other lenses on it already).

Thanks.
