Originally posted by Irish Pride I have the 2 zoom lenses coming this week and i cant wait to play with them, but i really do love the FA 50mm that i have. What would be the next prime lens that i should look at and did i make a mistake by buying both the 16-45mm and the 18-135mm at the same time?
Awesome (: you have a 50 prime, which I said is one of the best first lens to invest in.
"What would be the next prime lens that i should look at." I have a M50 1.7 and a DA35 2.4. My favorite is the 50, it's when I take my time to compose, focus and do all those stuff, very time consuming nonetheless fun, but when I'm up and about, at parties or shooting kids and panning cars I use my DA35
, its a good lens, it's always on my camera cause most of the shots I need is under its range, fast enough and fun. So I would say getting the DA35 as your next prime is gonna be cheap and good, but I would also say this, If you have the money, and is serious about this hobby get the DA35mm limited, I'm pretty sure you're gonna love it. (Cause I wish I spent the extra money on the limited)
"did i make a mistake by buying both the 16-45mm and the 18-135mm at the same time?" Only you can answer that, try playing with them, and you'll know what you need and what you don't need, and then you can sell one of them (To be honest I don't think you made a mistake, if you have the money for it, why not right?)
