since u say u like lanscape...that needs a wideangle...
wild life...depends...u need either VERY long...or Macro... skies?? Wideangle i guess... seeing from this...the 55-200 wont benefit u much... why not take a wide angle? sigma 10-20? tokina 12-24? nikkor 14-24? if u can explain more on wild life... if u taking wild birds....u need 600mm or on a safari....600mm...shorter ones are ok too...but u dun want to disturb the animals right? insects / flowers / plants...u need macro...105vr... |
