Lens Help/Question

[~02SpecelicaGT~]

Hey guys...have a question for ya'll. Im going to the Chicago Auto Show next weekend and was wondering which lens I should bring with out of the array that I have. My lenses are:
1. Nikon 18-105mm VR
2. Nikon 55-200mm VR
3. Nikon 70-300mm VR
4. Nikon 35mm f/1.8
5. Nikon 50mm f/1.8
6. Tamon 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro

Im thinking of bringing either the 35mm or 50mm for the cars and possibly the 18-105mm. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Most likely you'll be using the wide end of the 18-105 the majority of the time. Although if you can...use the 35mm for sharper images. There is too much zoom in the 50mm for indoor use on such a large subject.

I think you made this thread to show off your lenses :chuckles:

just sell your 55-200mm vr lens since you can use the 70-300mm vr to cover that range plus more :gap:

[~02SpecelicaGT~]

+1000 more lol..and yes i will be selling the 55-200mm VR lens. Just gotta find a buyer for it now...ive put it on my camera body once and used it for 10 pictures if that lol. I got it as a gift and they didn't know i had the 70-300mm VR coming :rolleyes:

umm... well im a canon person so idk nikon's pricing but usually when im spending $1500+ on a lens i know the exact scenario that it would be used in so shouldnt you already know what lenses to bring?

you don't have to be a nikon owner to know what lenses would be adequate for what he was asking for :faint:

wel if i were to list my canon lenses i would take only L glass but idk what nikons equivilant to that is, not rlee so much about the zoom and sutch id go for quality before that

The Canon L series are amazing imo..if i ever get a canon, id def. go for L series lenses

[ibmike150]

yeah they are nice, but ive seen some awesome shots with nikon as well... i have an oldschool nikon 35mm with some telephoto macro lenses and such and love the images it gets, just digital is much easier and quicker...

[mrluilou]

nikon lenses that are equivalent to the L lens are the ED IF

[~02SpecelicaGT~]

[mrluilou]

I agree that the 35, and 18-105 will be your best choices especially since you don't have a dedicated flash. You're going to want a fast lens. I'm guessing most of your photos will be from the 35 with a large f stop.
