| | | | | Home studio lens question < on 2/8/2012 12:43 PM > | Reply with Quote
| | | I'm planning to use my spare bedroom as an occasional home studio, but I've noticed that I'm a bit limited by the lenses that I currently have, which are an AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D and an AF-S DX Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED, which Nikon doesn't have listed anywhere on their site anymore for some reason. My other equipment is a D80, an F4, which I don't plan on using much, if at all, in this setup, an SB-800 speedlight, and a cheap tripod. The focal length of the 50mm is too far to be usable in such a small space on anything except smaller objects, and the zoom may not let in enough light for my purposes, as I have vertical blinds in the window that I'd like to utilize. With that said, I need something that will work in a confined space, preferably something f/2.8 or faster, be it either prime or zoom. I'm thinking the AF Zoom-Nikkor 20-35mm f/2.8D IF, but I'm very much open to other, hopefully cheaper alternatives.

| | | Unfortunately, even 35mm would be right at the edge of usability on a DX camera, and no, I'm not dead set on getting a wider angle lens than I currently have. In fact, it's something that I'd rather avoid. However, the room is no more than 13' x 11', so it's not exactly a lot of space with which to work. Yes, I can add lighting, but that'd defeat the purpose of using that room, as I want to utilize the natural light coming through the vertical blinds as much as I can.
