You should be able to get plenty of great shots with just the 50mm f1.8D.

I found that all my lenses in DX format vignette just a bit, some more than others. 

 

Out of curiosity what lenses do you have?

In DX I have the 40mm micro, the 18-55 kit, and the 55-300 zoom. The other three are all old 35mm lenses and I have the one 50mm D.

Sounds like an M.C. Escher drawing.

If your older lenses are Ai or AiS give them a go!  Just don't forget to change the lens profile setting when swapping lenses.  At first it seemed a bit awkward changing the aperture on the lens while shooting with a modern Nikon but, my goodness, some of those old high-end Nikkors are fantastic lenses.

They are all AF from the early-mid 1990's.

They still have that 85/1.8D, at Keh, for 179.  Keep an eye out for a similar deal when you have some spare cash.

Thanks. I'll keep my eye on that one. :)

Great to see you received the camera and the sequence of shots from the box being opened were great. Liked your first shots as well.

Alden,

 

I am new to this forum and just recently purchased a d610.  Since you've had it for a month plus, what do you enjoy most about your camera AND anything you've learned with yours that you would care to share?

Hi Matt, and welcome! The main thing I like about it is the image quality is better. It's like comparing a 35mm slide to a medium format slide. It's just got a bit more detail, sharpness, and range of subtle shades and colors to it that a DX format sensor does not get. Don't get me wrong, I love my D7100 and still use it a lot too, but if I'm going to do a portrait, or if I intend to blow up a print really large, I'm going to reach for the D610.

Hi Alden. I stepped up to the d610 from the d90 two weeks ago. I have a fx 70-300 plus other dx lenses. I'm enjoying the fx zoom but the dx lenses are back in the bag. I'm renting the 24-70 2.8 for a trip to costal rica to break in this body. Enjoy your d610. Ed
