Help choosing a lens for my camera

tate1 · 02-18-2010, 08:34 AM

I have been browsing some of the photos that others have taken and they are amazing. On another site I saw a picture that someone took from their balcony while in Paris. It captured the city perfectly and was breath taking. He has a canon and the lens he used is a sigma 17-70 f3.5-4.5. I would love to find a lens comparable to that one. I am also looking for a nice macro lens.

I have a Nikon D40x. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Belinda

Yay, I'm new to this site and to fish keeping but I do have photography experience. I have a Nikon D90 and I love my Sigma 17-70mm lens. It's great for macro, has a great range and will be fantastic for aquarium photography. It's not the cheapest lens but it is well worth the money and it will work on you D40x

Belinda, did you end up getting a new lens?

It is not just the lens that matters. It is the photographer behind the camera. I personally use macro lenses that I attach infront of my standard lens. I use a Nikon D60.
