Nikon 10-24 f/3.5-4.5G and 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G VR

Daya · 07-29-2011, 02:10 PM

I had a great month at work and decided to upgrade my 18-55 and 55-200 kit lenses for my D60.

I really enjoy landscape, architecture, automotive and sports photography and want to learn to take better photos.

I started with an entry level camera with basic lenses, and decided to upgrade my glass and knowledge first before buying a better body. I have two vacations coming up so I will be able to play around with them - can't wait!!!

Does anyone have any real world experience with these lenses?

10-24 (they were in stock as of 7am yesterday, I placed my order, and they are already out of stock today!):

I've been using the 10-24 for the past year or so. Love it.

Daya, just wondering if you ever got the lenses, once production started up again? The 70-300 is a very nice lens, well-balanced and quite sharp, not just at F8.0, but a bit on either side of that. I'd like to try a 10-24, that would be very fun to work with.

Cheers
