Nikon D300S with wide-angle lens

LZ is not just a novice. I would like to give you a suggestion. Since you like to shoot landscapes and large scenes, you must use wide angle and ultra wide angle. Then why should you torture yourself with DX frame? After playing SLR, you will eventually have to take photos one by one, so later investment is inevitable.

I recommend second-hand d70Zuanguang+24-85, about 12k+4.5k+2k.

700 has no explanation

Zuanguang af20-35/2.8d, Nikon’s only 2.8 constant zoom with a zoom ratio less than 2, and the only one that uses manual fine grinding For the zoom of spherical lenses (there are only three lenses using this lens, the other two are the noct58/1.2 and the Baibianyao 28/1.4, two priceless and unmarketable lenses), the image of this head is not extremely sharp, but Very interesting, high contrast suitable for small light ratios, full of oiliness (rare in Japanese lenses), and distortion control exceeding all fixed lenses at the time (Japanese only)

24-85/2.8-4 , the most cost-effective standard variable lens on the full frame, bar none. Although it can't compare to the power of 2870 and 2470, at this price, you can't find a better image at the same focal length at a price that is less than twice as expensive as it (not to mention that the head of af35-70/2.8d starts at 35, This is a far cry from the starting difficulty of 24), and don’t forget that it is 2.8-4, which is beyond the reach of other Goudou.

This combination covers all focal lengths for daily use, and guarantees a half-range 2.8 aperture, and the rest is a minimum of 4. Except that some people may not accept it as second-hand, at this price, you can't find a better configuration unless you buy film.

If you are unwilling to accept second-hand products, you can use Yinguang instead of Zuanguang. There are still surplus products on the market and they are cheap. Another way is to use n’s new 28300, which is more than 6k. Adding the d700 is exactly 20k, and you can conquer the world with one lens. That 24120 exceeds the budget by nearly 2k and does not count.

lz Finally, pay attention to the accessories. The cleaning kit is a complete lie. If you want to buy cleaning supplies, just buy two pieces: 1. Zeiss lens water. A bottle of 100 yuan will last you at least two years (if you use it to clean windows, (I said it’s not my business), 2 Martin lens cloths, a dozen or so pieces, it’s done, they are all very useful things. The 600 yuan backpack is either too expensive or too big for a machine with two or three mirrors (not counting the long barrel).

The d7000 will be on the market soon. It has partially surpassed the d300s in terms of data, and it is cheap. Shouldn’t you consider it? Of course, the control is not as good as the 300s. The new d2xs 7k-9k are priced the same as the d300s. Except for the video, there is nothing worse than the 300s. Are you not considering it?

lz will definitely have a lot to add. If you insist on using DX format, I will mention the lens again.

Finally, should lz consider leaving 1k to 2k for a tripod?

lz has ordered 300s, so basically I won’t buy all of them for the time being. 1685 is a good choice. 35g with 1685 is also a perfect match, but 70300vr seems not so necessary. There is really no one at the 450mm end. It can be used, but this head is not powerful when you need to use it. The 70300 is obviously a level down among your heads, and it will be limited soon. It is better to consider changing to a macro, 105vr, 60d (60g is too expensive). Don’t underestimate the half-hearted 85/3.5. This is the most powerful head of N MTF in DX format. It just feels soft in the hand. And since the 300s supports manual heads, you can try the AIS55 micro, which only costs 1,000 yuan. :2 Macro, the price is 200 yuan, and the pk11 adapter can achieve 1:1. The above is based on the choice of 1685+3518. There is really nothing to fault about the first two.

Another option is a single 1755 that makes people cry. Although the focal length is narrow, the dx is exactly like 2470. Except for a little distortion at the 17th end (much better than 1685), there are no shortcomings. I also don’t want the 24-end edge of the 2470 to be loose. This head doesn't even need to be equipped with 3518. In the future, it will be fine to use the fixed focus directly on Shenma 8514 or 105vr.

The last one is a toss-up choice: 20/2.8+24/2.8+35/1.8+50/1.8 add up to a little over 7,000, which is equivalent to a 28+50 combination and a 35+85 combination. , if you add a 24, you don’t need to consider other fixed focus, it’s all fixed focus, it’s a toss-up, but you can fully defeat the 1755. It is difficult to get a 24, because the 16 is too expensive. There is an AIS 18/3.5, which is very good. It costs about 4,000. It has no shortcomings except manual operation and has strong anti-backlighting. Also, you can consider upgrading 5018 to 5014d or 60d micro. If you have enough budget, you only need to add more than a thousand. The two G versions are too expensive and are not recommended. After upgrading, push forward six months to reach the top configuration, because the 2414g and 3514g released by N in the past six months are too abnormal to be considered.
