I have 400 $ and want to go shopping. What do you recommend
Added (1). Those are the lenses I have already
What lens do you have now?
You have to choose your own lens.
18-105 mm (used by many advanced amateurs to shoot video)
70-300 mm (for shooting action, sports and some wildlife)
50 mm (for shooting portraits)
105 mm Macro (for shooting macro shots away from the studio)
You see, only you can know which you will use the most
I have a Canon Mark 2 camera. Something I use a lot more than I thought I would was a telescope lens. As long as you have a sturdy enough tripod you can get some really awesome photos. If you don't have one already a light meter comes in handy! Some of them are really expensive but the more affordable ones work just as well.
With that being said, it all depends on the type of photos you like to take. Whether you like close ups or large framed photos. Or if you like action shots a certain lens can be bought for that as well.
Keep the money… You have nothing else you need…
if you can't get what you want from those lenses, then perhaps you need to get some practice…
You can't buy anything good with $400, save it…
if you really want to buy something, buy a… Wait… There's really nothign to buy for under $400
SAVE IT!
Well, what kind of photography are you into? It's hard to think of what else you may need if I have no clue what subjects you enjoy shooting.
Like the other guy suggested, I would save your money. Maybe save it to buy strobes? Also, what I do when I have extra money to spend, I usually buy another film camera. Maybe you can look into that and get into good ol' film photography.
I have a D200 with an 18-200mm VR and a UV, and a Sanford & Davis tripod. I rarely print any more, but I have a Canon iP 6700D for when I do. My LowePro bag has been in the closet for about a year, but when I do travel, I stuff everything (and my laptop) in a Kata backpack, with chargers, batteries, cards, 110v inverter, external drive, and cables.
I recommend toting around as little as possible. You don't mention having a tripod, so get one of those. They come in handy at times.
Do you have Photoshop and/or Lightroom? Is your 50mm a new 50mm f1.4? If not, I'd get that. You really don't lack gear. Perhaps you'd be wise to spend money on workshops to learn.
I like your gear.
i think you need:
- a good tripod
- and filters, gradual filters and polarisers
- diffusers
- wireless flash triggers
- additional sim cards
- rain covers
Suggestions:
Tripod
Remote Shutter Release
Macro Tubes (?)
Pelican Case
My Favorite Suggestion:
A short weekend road trip to take pictures!
- Nikon Zoom lenses - why the big price difference from 80-400 lens and 200-400 zoom lens?
- What would you do? Would you buy a refurbished lens?
- How would you recreate this photograph using my equipment?
- Would this equipment be good for sports photography?
- How to start a career in adventure photography? What kind of equipment would I need?
