SLR Nikon D50 Blog |

nikon 70-200 and nikon 17-35
i do have a nikon d50 and d90
i can not afford these lenses since they are so expensive
what can i get and have good results

You can buy the superb 18-200 mm VR lens. It covers most of the focal lengths you need and it is a superb lens.

I use it mostly for shooting editorial assignments.

Your D90 has excellent low-light ISO performance. It even out performs my D300, as you can see (I listed the newest version of the D300, the D300s).

i WaNT TO TaKE a VARIETY OF PHOTOS FROM LONG DISTANCE.landscape,SPORT aND SUCH, BUT IM CONFUSED aBOUT aPO,vr,ED, F5.6,ETC aND WaNT THE BEST.no explantions pls just nikon and what type for money on ebay. ta much.I have a nikon D50 and 2 lenses. 18-55mm and 200mm lens.

You really make our lives easy by writing things clearly. I’m assuming that you’re looking for a 300mm prime? For sports you realistically going to need a f2.8 but thats not going to happen. This MF 2.8 prime is selling for over a grand! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gorgeous-Nikon-AI-S-300mm-F2-8-ED-AIS-Manual-Nikkor_W0QQitemZ290323495921QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCamera_Lenses?hash=item4398a0fbf1&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177&_trkparms=240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50 you see the problem now?

The only one I can find in your price range is an ancient F mount 300mm f4.5, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nikkor-P-300MM-F4-5-pre-AI-lens_W0QQitemZ390034573060QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Photography_Film_Cameras_ET?hash=item5acfdf4704&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1683|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50 thats from before 1976, no AF, no AI.

This is a good, cheap old lump, but ok. 300/4.5 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nikon-300mm-f4-5-Ai-lens_W0QQitemZ180367864696QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Photography_Film_Cameras_ET?hash=item29fec33378&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1690|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50

Basically theres a lot of old F mount glass going on ebay for cheap, most are f4 or 4.5, the 2.8s fetch a lot more. Alternatively you can try the Sigma 300mm f2.8 EX for Nikon F mount, but they’re more expensive too.

Wolf Camera said I have to buy Nikon lenses for it. But I’m looking at a store online and they have a bundle that includes a Sigma 28-70 lens for Canon & a Sigma 70-300 tele lens for Canon.

So, are these lenses compatible? If so, what do I need to look for when buying a lens for this camera? And what are some of the downfalls to buying this lens as opposed to the Nikon lens?

You have to use lenses that have the same mount as the D50. Off-brand lenses will work if they are compatible. A lens for Canon will never work on a Nikon. Also not all Nikon lenses will work either. Nikon has different mounts for the old manual slr’s, autofocus slr’s and digital slr’s. There are even some sifferent mounts within those groups. If you’re not sure…ask a qualified salesperson for help….and never force a lens onto the mount…you’ll damage both the lens and the body.

I don’t know if that’s a dumb question or not. I’ve been told that generally, you can use different Nikon lenses for any Nikon camera.

Yes you can!
However, if the fisheye lens in question doesn’t have a built in autofocus motor, it wont autofocus with the D5000.

Have fun and good luck!
