Hi Guys!
So I am considered between a beginner and intermediate as far as photography goes. I understand all of the basics but I am still working on getting faster with adjustments, etc. but I feel like I have taken some pretty decent photographs.
I up and bought a Nikon D3200 about 2 years ago before I looked into the crop frame/ full frame camera existence. I now am ready to move up to a full frame DSLR. I primarly do portrait photography and sometimes some landscape photography.
So this is what I have "accumulated" haha:
- Nikon D3200
- Nikon DX 55mm-200mm AF-S Nikkor 1:4-5.6G ED (Non- VR) lens
- Nikon 70mm-300mm AF-S Nikkor 1:4.5- 5.6 ED (VR) lens
- Nikon DX 18mm-55mm AF-S Nikkor 1: 3.5-5.6 GII ED (Non- VR) lens
- Nikon 50mm AF-S Nikkor 1:1.8 G lens
- B and H polarizing filter ring
- B and H ND filter ring
I have experimented with long exposure photography and I am excited to get more out of the HDR function that full-frame cameras offer (instead of just adjusting the stops on my crop-frame).
So, my questions are:
1. I was thinking about upgrading to a D610 camera; do you think this would be a good place to start? I can't spend a ton of money (well my budget is about $1,200).
2. Now that I am upgrading to a full frame, I understand that I need to make sure I'm buying FX or full frame lenses. Do you recommend selling any of my existing ones to upgrade to full frame lenses or should I keep these? If so, which lenses do you recommend for portrait photography or general landscape photography? I was recommended to get an 85mm lens which is great for portrait photography I was told.
Thank you all!
Eric
