But I am willing to put alot of time and effort in learning how to take awesome pics and I am sure many bad ones too.
So any help and info for a guy with more money than brains, I am here to learn and make my mistakes like a lot of other people.
My lenses are a 20-35mm f2.8,,, 300mm f4 af-s,,,105mm micro f2.8,,,60mm micro f2.8,,70-210mm af f4 and a 50mm 1.8 that I bought with the camera.
I am very happy with all the lenses for far, I use my 20-35 and 300 most of the time, I do like the 70-210mm because of its light weight compared to the other two. As long as I have plenty of light it makes for a great walking around lens.
So this is where I am at at this time. Any help or advice will be appreciated....

Nice to meet all of you......

Wow! Is it my imagination or do you have a LOT of gear for someone new to digital? Did you use film pretty extensively before? I'm sure I'm not the only one in awe of your equipment for someone who's new to this. Lens envy from me, that's for sure
