Buying two zoom lenses on Thursday, but which two?
New to Nikon Z land, loving it, and loving the amazing advice on this forum.
I got some great help when I asked about lenses last time. I currently only have 1 lens for my Z9 - the 24mm 1.8. I bought this as I needed a lens for shooting talking head videos for work asap and the space I record in is too small for a longer focal length.
On Thursday I'm buying two zoom lenses, which will complete my kit for the next year or more. I have narrowed it down to 4 combinations that all work within the money I have to spend. I'm looking for advice on which combination to buy.
What do I shoot? I'm very poor at composition, I'm poor at framing, and so like to shoot things rather than scenes. Also I love shooting wildlife, but only get out a few times per year. I shoot my daughter's swim meets. I'm travelling a lot this summer to Ireland and Italy. If I could afford it, I'd get a standard zoom, a telephoto, AND a super telephoto. But I can't, I can only get two. But which two? and why?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
