New Lens!
I have been eyeing new lens for a while. I have the Nikon D300 and have only had two lenses for a few years now, the zoom lens that came with the camera body (75-200mm) and a prime (non-zooming) lens (50mm 1.8). On a lark, and also because I really enjoy taking wide-angle photography-mostly landscapes and architecture-, I decided to buy the 35mm 1.8 lens as well, giving me the ability to shoot in low light and with a wider angle of view than either of my other two lenses.
I can’t wait to try it out in a few days!
I’m so jealous! I have a list of lenses I want to buy, but being a full-time grad student doesn’t leave money for those kinds of things…happy shooting!
Thanks!
Having just finished my own MA program, I know exactly what you mean! There was a moment’s hesitation in my mind where I thought, “I could use this to more quickly pay off bills . . . nah! This is way more fun!”
