And a little lost on what to buy
I haven't really used a camera in the last 6-7 years, lost interest and sold everything, then recently, picked up a little Nikon Zfc for holiday and enjoyed it massively, so much so i've just upgraded it to a ZF ordered a Viltrox 135mm F1.8 & Nikon 24-120 to go with it
My interests are eclectic and would love some recommendations on quirky or interesting lens choices, right now it is just about having fun with a camera again
Where i'm at
Ordered
Viltrox 135mm - got a good write up, had the Zeiss 135 APO on my D810 and probably my fave combo so trying to recreate that, loved the zeiss 'look' and would happily take that over other lens characteristics
Nikon 24-120 - A walkabout lens
Thinking about
Viltrox 35mm f1.2 - For anything low light or street-based but open to other recommendations, the milvus 35mm f.14 is also an option
Nikon 14-30
A Z7 & Loawa 90mm 2x for anything macro related along with something longer for chasing butterflies (had the sigma 180mm macro lens previously and a 300mm f4 with a TC1.4)
What other options would you be looking at to build a 'fun' kit bag
Edit - probably should add, last camera was a D810 with the 2.8 trinity, sigma 120-300, sigma 180mm, zeiss 135mm & 300mm f4 with various TCs and macro specific bits, got more satisfaction out of the manual focus zeiss than everything else towards the end
