Hello from Virginia. I'm about to become a new Nikon user and this forum is at least partly responsible for that. I am a relatively new hobbyist photographer and currently use Olympus micro-4/3 gear, but have been lusting after full frame for awhile now. The current pricing on the D810 finally persuaded me to take the plunge.
I expect to have a steep hill to climb learning new stuff, and have ordered a "Mastering the Nikon D810" book from Amazon. I opted for the kit that includes the 24-120 f/4 lens, but I expect I'll be shopping for additional lenses soon. I mostly shoot landscapes and nature and really want to focus more on wildlife, so I've been reading up on the Tamron 150-600 and a few other options. I do other stuff, too, though, like family events and some photos for my son's business.
So my first question to the group is - what would you suggest as a beginners collection of lenses to go with the D810? I know that there is no "best" for everything, so I am looking for advice on a good general purpose set that won't break the bank. It would seem at first glance that the two lenses mentioned above would cover most situations, but I will definitely want something faster somewhere in the range. Should my first addition be a fast 50?
Enough rambling. Nice to meet you all. Hope to be an active participant on the forum.
