Kena 4D, so BBB virus strike, about 1000 to spend, which lens to get?

1) Sigma 35/1.4
2) Samyang 24 tilt shift
3) Nikon 105 VR micro
4) Nikon 24-120 VR
5) open to suggestions

Actually I have Nikon 35/2, tamron 90 macro and 24-85 VR. So the tilt shift is quite tempting, but still can't made up my mind, since tilt shift is not that common to use.

Any suggestions?

based on the options of lenses, seems that you're asking "what type of genre should i be going into next?" rather than "I'm going to be shooting xxx, what's the recommended lens"?

I also fall into the same trap of collecting lenses to make up a complete range eg 24mm to 200mm, but realise i don't even use 2/3 of the whole collection. End up selling ""mint unused" lenses.

I feel the key thing is to ask what u want to shoot and take it from there.

With that many options of diff types it seems you have no idea what you need.

Save your money, improve on technique and then decide when you KNOW what you NEED.

So you really have no Idea what you want to shoot and what subject...... Suggest research well before dreaming of 15 lenses and asking what to buy... only the photographer will / should know... but not us.

Buy them all!

Best advice... I agree also.
