I have a Nikon D500 dog head. I really don't want to use it. I want to add a new lens. Wide-angle macro and portrait. What do you recommend?

Brother, first of all, wide angle, macro and portrait can't be taken into account at the same time (mainly designated focal lens). Wide angle is mainly used to shoot scenery, which is much smaller than today and has obvious perspective. Used to take portraits will definitely produce distortion. (Of course, distortion can be avoided at a certain distance, but then people will be smaller. )

Option 1: macro and portrait should be taken into account at the same time. Nikon AF-S 60/2.8G ED macro lens is recommended in this respect. At present, the price is RMB 4117.0 (including invoice and nationwide warranty), and the color of the pictures taken is better and lighter. Can you go to /showthread.php for details? ThreadID = 233305 & pagenumber =1Look, I believe you will gain something. This shot is still Quan Huafu's. If you upgrade the full-frame machine later, this lens can still be used. The vice factory also has a model of Longteng: Longteng AF60/2 Di II Macro 1: 1 Lens (G005) (with ticket price) of RMB 3,490.0. Advantages: good image quality, 2.0 large aperture and lower price. The disadvantage is that there is no ultrasonic motor, the focusing speed is slow, and it is half a head.

Option 2: wide-angle portrait, taking care of both ends. Recommended: Longteng AF 17-50/2.8 Di II lens (A16NIII II) (Nikon Port) (with ticket price) 2890.0 yuan. This head is converted into a focal length of 26-75mm on the D500, which is very suitable for wide-angle portraits. This head won the European authority award that year, and the online color friends have always responded well. There is also a Longteng AF 17-50/2.8 Di II VC anti-shake lens with anti-shake (B005) (Nikon port) (with ticket price) 3590.0 yuan. Because of the focal length and aperture, individuals tend not to have anti-shake (A 16NII).

Scheme 3: As you said, three factors are taken into account: Sigma AF 17-50/2.8 EX DC macro OS HSM lens (Nikon port) with a price of 4950.0 yuan, and the online response is ok, but it is said that the mechanical part of Sigma's head is very bad.

Of course, you can also choose a Nikon silver wide-angle Nikon AF 18-35/3.5-4.5D IF-ED lens of 3909.0 yuan. I won't list them here. If you want to know more, you can make up your homework online. There are a large number of lens evaluation articles on websites such as Color Shadow Promise, Hummingbird, Jiayou Online and Pacific Ocean. SLR is a bottomless pit. I'm glad you can have a clear understanding and not blindly pursue high prices.

Having said that, the unit is helpful to you.
