Hello everybody. I’m planning to get my first camera body and lenses but I’m not quite sure on what lensens to get. I think I’ll get a LUMIX DMC-GF1 which I can find for fairly cheap prices so I can spend most of the money for some good lenses.
What lenses would you recommend me buying? Is there some kind of “general lenses” I can use without having to switch them according to situations? I’m very new and confused by all the technical terms and stuff
Depends a lot on the budget and needs… If I was starting over again the first lens I’d get would be Olympus 12-40 f2.8. It’s really versatile. It goes from pretty wide to moderate tele, it’s decently bright at f2.8 for the whole zoom range, it’s sharp and even focuses close you get a pseudo-macro as well (good enough for flowers and bigger insects). Then, if I needed more range I’d get 40-150 f2.8 or if I needed a portrait lens I’d get 45mm f1.8 or 75mm f1.8, if I needed a macro I’d get 60mm f2.8.
