Hi CS members!
I am a new member of CS and I've had my Nikon D3100 for a couple of months already together with the kit 18-55 AF-S lens. I find it great to take most shots but I have developed an interest in taking good portrait photography and macro (not the insect kind) photos. However with my current kit lens, i find that the aperture isnt big enough for the background of my subjects to be blurred completely and i wish that my macro pics can be sharper. I'm wondering if i should get a prime lens for portrait as that is my favorite part of photography. Is there any recommendations for economical lenses that can meet my need?
I am not working at the moment so i can only save up for any lens so i hope to be able to get either a good priced first hand lens or a decent second hand lens. I'm also not sure where is the best place to get so i will really appreciate any pro-er photographers assistance! Thanks so much in advance!
