Well, after renting various zooms to try them out, the 24-120mm f/4 gave me a "I like this lens!" vibe. So I bought it to use with my D90, I used it with a rented D7100, and I currently use it with ...

I used the 18-105mm for several years as the kit lens that came with my D90. It was not a bad lens, and I was never able to put my finger on anything wrong with it, but after a few years I did ...

I know that software exists to do it all with a few clicks, but the way I've done it is to use ExifTool to create a text-file list of the focal lengths of all the .jpg (or .nef) files in a folder, ...

A 58mm f/1.8 would be a lens that costs what the 85mm f/1.8 costs, the way the 58mm f/1.4 is a lens that costs the same as the 85mm f/1.4. So $450-$500 - more than the 50mm f/1.8, but a lot less ...

On the DX side: Two DX primes, and two FX primes that DX users would find handy. (1) 16mm f/2.8 DX (2) 24mm f/1.8 DX (3) 58mm f/1.8 FX - priced at $500 like the 85mm f/1.8, ...
