Since children and babies are small, you might try a 105 f/2.8 Micro. That will set you back $760. You may find it's cheaper to find a used D50 or D80 somewhere. The D40's are really made with the assumption that you use the 18-55, 55-200, and maybe 70-300 VR. Are you shooting for pay or just for fun? |
I'm just starting to shoot for pay. I got the D40 not really knowing if I was really going to get bitten by the photography bug or not. Obviously, I have and have done a lot of work for friends and I'm starting to get paying jobs. If I had known how things would turn out, I would have gotten a D80 from the start. Oh well.
I like the length of the 50mm, so I'm wondering if the 60mm AF would be a good pick up?
