Hi Josh
...
Theres a lot to learn, but don't worry! Thats the fun part.
Like a musician that needs to learn his instrument, a photographer
needs to learn his instrument too. The good thing is that we can make
beautiful "music" while we are learning!
Have Fun
Mike
Great advice (to anyone, I think:))
On the other hand: There is a poster at my violinmakers place, saying:
*Great masters can't play on crap instruments, how then should little
children?* (sorry for the certainly bad translation)
meaning of course that when you learn, it may also be important do get
the feeling and experience of *quality of sound to educate your taste
and imagination and not getting frustrated by poor material. Once you
got the hang of it you *can play on bad instruments and get the hell out
of them to a certain extent just by mental force and by keeping the
stradivarisound ;) in mind.
OM-content:
I took just one lens recently on different occasions and enjoyed having
no choice :). It does help to forget about material and concentrate on
the image.
Josh: I too would go for a 28 with the 50, as you have more variety with
it than with the 35 and less extremity ;) than with the 24. You can
always get those later.
Maybe think about a 2/90 Tokina or 2.8/90 Sigma Makro, they can be found
a lot cheaper than the Zuikos and with a decent converter you are well
equipped for some time!
Have fun
cheers
Doro
