Can't wait to start shooting tomorrow. I'm that kind of explorer that likes to take random pictures, and take to many pictures.

Congratulations. What are your other two, and what lenses did you get for your D7000? I could only afford the kit lens but I am saving up for a 18-200mm. My last Cameras were a Nikon D3100, L110 CoolPix, and a Underwater camera i used.

I'm a D7000 man myself. I usually lurk on this sight as I don't do any UE, I'm just a big fan who appreciates the photography and the subject matter. Not doing any Urban Exploration myself I don't know what glass is recommended but my favorite lens is a 35mm 1.8 and it cost around $250. Either way, great camera, have fun and I can't wait to see some pics from it.

I even use it a lot for portraits when I have my speedlight or good natural lighting urbexkeith  Gender: Male S & W B  |  |  Re: Got my 3rd camera! <Reply # 8 on 8/29/2012 5:04 AM >   I personally love the Nikkor 18-70mm, it's a cheap (price wise) zoom, but damn it is a tank and the optics are great for the price. I also personally love the Tokina 11-16mm.

It's not built very good but it's amazing for the price. Good glass and super light weight. Great for video too. The only problem with it is if you ever upgrade to full frame, this lens will not work. http://www.bhphoto...r_35mm_f_1_8G.html Derelict Compositions, Nikon http://www.flickr.com/dcc_028 urbexkeith  Gender: Male S & W B  |  |  Re: Got my 3rd camera! <Reply # 11 on 8/29/2012 2:03 PM >   I've never seen one for that much, I thought $250 was kinda pricey actually.

When you say if you upgrade to FX it will not work, do you mean it just won't work in full frame? It'll still operate as a DX on an FX camera right? Hadn't thought about that. Here's a link anyway, when I bought it there was a bit of a sale as well. http://www.futures...3b5f1902d38c3aen02 Cheers greatscott94  Gender: Male  |  Re: Got my 3rd camera! <Reply # 13 on 8/30/2012 1:12 AM >   Posted by urbexkeith I've never seen one for that much, I thought $250 was kinda pricey actually. They usually sell for around $150 around here! http://denver.crai...ho/3234141437.html Yup, if you buy used you can usually find this glass for under $200 at least. It's one of those lenses that's just so cheap and awesome every DX user should have one. Here's some of my work with the 35mm, beware this is not urbex, just pics of my kids and birds and such hahaha: http://flic.kr/p/cY1FHq http://flic.kr/p/cY1xMm http://flic.kr/p/cY29HA [last edit 8/30/2012 1:18 AM by greatscott94 - edited 1 times] mikeman9412   |  Re: Got my 3rd camera! <Reply # 14 on 8/30/2012 3:33 AM >   Any canon equivalents you guys could point me towards? greatscott94  Gender: Male  |  Re: Got my 3rd camera! <Reply # 15 on 8/30/2012 4:58 AM >   Posted by mikeman9412 Any canon equivalents you guys could point me towards?
