Don't go to shops, buy on amazon.
Safe and cheaper.
As i already suggested d5100+18-55+35 1.8.

i agree with this.

And try to include in your budget these items:

memory card
Tripod
camera bag
extra battery
remote (get one with shutter speed adjustments) - so you can experiment with night photography
Uv filter's for any lenses' you buy

This.

Though you're probably gonna need an extra 2-300 euros for this stuff.
If out of budget give up on The 35 1.8 and get that stuff instead.
Be sure you'll get that 35 later on though, best price/quality wise lens ever

Sorry guys i bought the Canon 600 D with a tamron 18 - 200 mm objective. Thanks for your help tho....

memory card - check
tripod - check
camera bag - check (old one from daddy)
extra battery - not yet
remote - what exactly is that ? Didnt find any good translation for it yet ^^
Uv filters - check if the old ones from daddy are good enough



What is that 35mm for ? I took the 18 - 200mm so i can go for somehow macro and panorama photos and zoom in a lil bit. Do i need such a high light sensivity (1.8) and why do you love that 35mm that much ? Dont know this yet cuz photography noob

the quality of the 35 for one is good and lower f/stop abilitys is very use full.
When I got my 50mm 1.8 I was a little doubtful about it but now its the only lens I use

the DOF on the 35mm or 50mm 1.8 will make you fall in love with what your shooting, make it easier to shoot in low light and make you think about composition as its a fixed focal length. the 18-200 tamron is designed to be bought by people who know nothing about photography because the zoom range sounds amazing for the price. But what you actually get is slow focus, low quality, low resolution, glass that will not do any camera or photographer justice! It's fine if you want snap shots of a cat. If you get serious into photography that lens will not stay in your outfit long once you realise basics like depth of field, bokeh, composition, shutter speeds, etc etc etc

No offence but you should have listen to nikon's good advice !

the 18-55 despite being a cheap plastic kit lens is half decent (really sharp), and the 35mm would have amazed you!

Sounds like i need to get a 35 or 55 lens as soon as i get better with that photography stuff For now i am a beginner and i need to try alot with different times and f-stops. I never had such good lens yet so i dont know the difference between a 18 - 200 mm and a 35 or 55 fix. Ofc the light sensivity is much better...this tamron goes with 3.5 - 6.3 if i remember correctly. So far I took the camera with me on some ski tours where i was walking through the mountains by myself and it was pretty helpfull to have an 18 mm for the panorama and the 200 to zoom in if you cant access it by walking there.

The next lence will be a fix one as many of you told me. Thanks

I am having much fun with that setup atm and i am still pretty impressed if i compare the pictures to the small compact cameras...

kauf dir das canon original objektiv 1.8/50mm dazu, kostet mittlerweile nurnoch um 100 euro und ist das geld mehr als wert!


i use the 1.8/50 on my 600d in retro position, i like the ultra macro function
