Lens

I would like a 12-24 nikkor or sigma. I'm thinking about the sigma.

Also would like a Tamron 90 mm Macro (Like Birddog's) or a 200mm Macro i saw on the B&H website.

I also like the thought of the 50mm 1.2, yes 1.2, i saw on B&H as well. It would make my 1.8 look lame.

Hmmmm

Nikkor 12-24DX
A decent tripod
Good bag to store everything


Birddog,
Below is a test image of the 17-55 wide open. The subject (my wife) was about half a meter away and its about a 66% crop. Croping was the only post processing. If you look hard into the eye you will see me taking the image and the sun setting behind me

Jordan, thanks for that shot. Great detail on the eyelashes, especially wide open.
