Lens kit or no?

[Nguyen128]

It's time for a new camera getting a D90 since I need it for work now. But I was wondering is the D90 kit worth it or should I just buy the body instead? Trying to save a few bucks since I'm in the process of finishing up my car audio right now too. Like Chad mentioned in my first post on this I should be looking for a Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor Lens for work. But besides that it'll be used for just car photography. Suggestions guys?

i would just get the body and get you a fast lens. i love my D90/17-55 2.8 combo.

Yes, do this. Though I will say that I'm very pleased with my Sigma 24-70 2.8.

dude i kick my self in the ass for getting rid of my sigma 24-70. is yours the HSM version?

If you are just taking pictures of cars, then the kit lens will be suitable until you learn enough to know whether you'll benefit from a different lens. A prime (fixed focal length) lens isn't a bad idea either to learn with, but I would get a cheap one until you figure out where your dollars are best spent

To be honest, I'm not quite sure. I just got it in December if that helps.

very few people are too much of a photographer for a D90 + 50mm f/1.8 combo.

but if you need a 60mm micro for work then i would suggest a 35mm f/1.8(about 200 bucks) to go along with it. the 50 and the 60 are just too close in focal.

d90 and a nikon 18-200 2.8f and you would be set for a while, but get a fast prime and call it a day!

[CHADbee]

[boostedb16]

The sigma 10-20 is my next lens.

[boostedb16]

Nerdsrock, if your 24-70 is a 2.8 hsm and is a good copy. I would trade you my 17-55 2.8 for that and your 10-20.

[2jdm4drift]

dude you jack ma 10-20 i will be pissed... dont undertrade me thats fucked up

How can I tell if it's HSM? I'm actually really happy with it though, and I need the cash. I want a 70-200 to go with it.

[2jdm4drift]

damn next friday i will have cash for you.. at the meet in newnan?

[2jdm4drift]

hey know anyone that wants the d50 with the 18-200?

[Nerdsrock22]

Sounds good.

[2jdm4drift]

[boostedb16]

Trading a nikon 17-55 for a sigma is far from undertrading. I was not trying to step on any toes but shit Everyman for his self lol

[boostedb16]

And nerdsrock it will say it on the side. How much did you pay for it. That will tell me if it is or not.

Looks like it's just the EX DG

[boostedb16]

the non hsm cost around $550.00 and the hsm one cost $899.00.

It was a gift from my parents, so I'm not sure on the price, but it's not HSM. I love it though!
