I have done photography for many years, I never believed in buying 2 - 3K lens. These days I got no time for photography as a hobby but just help my company take product pictures.
I'm just using my D80 and a kit lens 18- 135mm. Below also shows my setup. Don't go buying the best eq out there as 90% of the time, you won't need it.
just went vacation..fixed the AF 20mm f2.8D almost through out my whole trip..this lens should be considered humble rite??..got it for quite cheap 2nd hand....love it.
