Should I upgrade my Nikon dSLR or my kit lens?
Hi folks!
I have a Nikon D40 and a 18-55 af-s 3.5-5.6 GII ED (non vr) kit lens.
I am looking at Nikon D90 and its 18-105 vr but can't afford both.
Do you think I should stretch to buy the D90 and shoot with my current kit lens, or get 18-105 vr with my D40?
What would be better upgrade in terms of image quality?
Thanks!!
Good glass is forever (well, almost forever). DSLR bodies are transient since they're replaced every 3 to 5 years.
So keep your D40 and begin investing in lenses. I'll freely admit to being biased against variable aperture zoom lenses. The idea of losing lens speed when zooming is unacceptable in my opinion. The 18-105mm f3.5-5.6 represents a 1 1/3 stop loss in shutter speed. What does that mean? Suppose you're shooting at 18mm at f3.5 at ISO 400 and your shutter speed is 1/125 sec. If you zoom out to 105mm your f-stop becomes f5.6 and your shutter speed will drop to ~ 1/40 sec. To compensate for this you'd have to increase your ISO to 1000 to keep your shutter speed at 1/125sec. (ISO 1000 is 1 1/3 stops faster than ISO 400).
I suggest investing in the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8G IF-ED lens as your first major upgrade to your system. This is not a cheap lens but with reasonable care your grandchildren will be using it. It is 2/3 of a stop faster than the f3.5 but more importantly its a full 2 stops faster than f5.6 and its a constant aperture from 70mm to 200mm. The f2.8 will also be more useful in low-light photography.
You can keep your 18-55mm kit lens until your budget allows another lens.
If the 70-200mm f2.8 is simply beyond your current budget, I suggest buying the new AF-S Nikkor 50mm f1.4G. A fast prime lens is always useful.
