Hi, I've just posted in the intro thread and I would like some help please.
I've been using a d40 for about 8yrs,mostly on Auto and before that I used a F501,my question is will my old AF lenses from the 501 operate in AF on the d7100 because I would like to get all arty and move away from Auto.
I have a 50mm 1.8/70-210 f4/28-105 f4.5 all are AF.
I presume my 50mm would be classed as a prime lense so if I wanted to shoot wildlife/landscape/arcitechture/spooky scenes could anyone recommend some other prime lenses that may suit this[they don't have to be AF]..I think.
Cheers
Hi
Those lens should work fine with the D7100.
I had the D7000 for quite a while and found it a very pleasing camera to operate. The D7100 is very similar quality and performance wise.
Although the older lenses are ok, you may find that getting something a bit wider than the 24mm (which is equivalent to 36mm in FX terms) would be useful. The two lenses that spring to mind are the 18-105 with is a corrected DX lens so you do get 18mm. Or even the much venerated Sigma 10-20. A lovely lens ( better at 12mm than 10mm) which can stretch you artistically ..but also be very useful for interiors.
