Camera Lenses?

[Roxyluvsme13]

Hey guys, I know a bunch of you have DSLRs, and I've been looking at lenses trying to figure out what ones I want to purchase in the future. I definitely need a zoom lens (probably the 55-200mm), and I want a macro lens but I'm not paying $600 + for one, so I'm looking at a standard lens (maybe the 50mm or maybe the 35mm).

Just wondering what kind of lenses everyone uses and if you have any recommendations

Thanks!

As far as macro lenses go, I've got this one for my Canon last year, and I really love it.

Definitely get the 55-200mm, it is quite nice! I have a 18-55mm, 55-200mm, 18-70mm and 18-105mm - I just prefer being able to move between a range than being constricted/limited, like the 35mm/50mm, but however, those two lenses are extremely useful for portraits! I'm more of a nature/landscape type of photographer, so I like to have telephoto lenses. Someday, I'd love to get this: AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED

I have more lenses than I need, but my favorite is a Sigma 18-250. It's my walking around lens. I rarely take it off my camera anymore. When we went to Costa Rica, it was the only lens I took. It's sharp, it's fast and it covers a huge range. Sometimes there is some very minor vingetting at the very far end of the range but it's minor and easy to crop out for prints.

I have a Nikkor 60mm Macro lens. It was crazy expensive, but it does take a great shot. I mainly use it for pictures of my beads.

I have the Nikkor 35mm too. It's a great lens. So fast and bright. Nice for portraits and that kind of stuff.

Alright, everyone, thanks for the suggestions! I'll look into all of these I wish I had like fortunes to spend on lenses, because there's some really awesome ones I only wish I could afford!
