I am getting an SLR (D40, just to begin, get some experience with) and the lenses I am getting for it are NIKKOR AF-S VR 18-200mm and a 50mm/f1.8 Lens, would I need any other lenses? nothing higher than 200mm? wide angle / telephoto lenses?or would I be good with those 2.
>>149181The 18-200VR lens suffers from an issue known as 'creep'. Look it up.>>149180>>The 18-55 VR and 55-200VR are better in every wayTruer words have not been spoken. This is good advice.
>>149183I didn't know shit when i first bought my D70s. Kept it on P mode all the time... till i learnt the basics of exposure.So yeah, like Fence said, that's not fair, even if i do think he's a troll
>>149202Thanks, will look into it.>>149197awesome, appreciate the link
>>149204I'm not a troll.
>>149202Because lens creep is such a huge issue?
>>149240i put my penis in a jar
>>149240of the ones you said which would be best? or could you explain the main differences?
>>149266Whichever one suits your needs... We can't hold your hand through this whole process.
>>149280That would just be gay
>>149280ha true, ok could i have just a small bit on advice of the difference then im out of everyones hair.
>>14915118-200 get it. If you are starting out, you won't change from it much, trust me.
>>149351how is it any different than the 18-55 / 55-200 other both in one
>>149356Who the fuck wants to change lenses in the field or on vacation? I shoot weddings, and admittingly I use two camera's...but the one around my neck has the 18-200....The other may have something wider.
>>149356I think you answered your own question. Aside from the lens creep and bigger price tag.
>>149363Mine doesn't suffer from it at all, its actually a bit too stiff in my opinion. Pretty much its biggest drawback, although thats better than creep I guess.
What is lens creep?
>>149381http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Nikkor18200mm/page7.shtmlNear the middle/end of the video there's a demonstration of lens creep on the 18-200mm.
>>149381It's when the lens is easily slides in and out.
it's like a pink sockexcept for lenses
>>149383ok got it.well thanks everyone for the advice, links, help and answers.appreciate it all.
