Can't go wrong with a 35 f1.8 g. You can pick one up brand new dirt cheap around £100. You could go a 50 f1.8 d would be a cheap way to do macro shots too with some tubes, but on your camera it wouldn't have auto focus as you need g series lenses as they have a motor in the lenses.

^ backed! always buy G-lenses for this type of camera body!
the D3000 is having a crop sensor in'it, that means it multiplies the actual length of a lens with 1.5!

so if you're buying the 35mm, you have to take into account that you're actually shooting with a 52.5mm (=35x1.5) and with a 50mm lens it's 75mm (=50x1.5) on a crop! jfi…

I'd back the 35mm 1.8 for cropped sensor now, and general useful-ness down the line. 50mm is a little close, and when cropped it's way too close.

Thanks guys, anyone know the exact model number for the Nikon 35mm G lens? Don't want to look like a putz, or end up with wrong thing.

Beautiful, thanks Snow Man.

i actually had both, the 35 1.8G and the 50 1.8G…after only shooting with the 50, i´ve sold the 35!
today i wish i would have kept both, cuz just shooting with the 50 is sometimes a bit nerv wrecking...

G-San said it all…well done mate!

what´s your setup btw.?

[toddjcoley]

D90, 12-24 f4, tripod :o and the master a lee big stopper (×10 nd I think.) I need to get some tips off you rafa, your boot pics and waywt are sweet. I find landscape a lot easier, got a few more I might put up later.

[Finn666]

i love landscape pics…unfortunately we only have shitty landscapes over here that aren´t really worth watching at
