Q&A: What lenses should I pair with my Nikon D90?
Looking at buying some lenses for my Nikon D90.
I don’t have a huge amount of experience with choosing lenses, but I’m beyond doubt not a beginner.
I’ll be doing mostly photos of public and potraits, plus some object photography, low-light photos and a macro.
What are some of the best & most suitable lenses for any of these kinds? Thanks in advance.
Answer by Picture Taker
A 60mm macro lens would be excellent for macro as well as some portraits.
The 50mm f/1.4 is a gorgeous lens for portraits and the f/1.4 will help a lot for low light work.

In my opinion, the lenses listed below (200, 400, 600) are suited for flora and fauna and some sports, but not really the things you listed. Not to mention, they are priced in the thousands rather than in the hundreds.

My recommendation is based on the fact that you are using a cropped (DX) sensor in the D90.

I reckon really one lens that I have that I would recommend for nearly all of these is the Tokina 100mm f/2.8 ATX. 1:1 macro that is intensely apparent, perfect length for portraits, just a terrific all around fill in lens. It’s not as effective in low light as the Nikon 85mm f/1.4 so that might be a excellent second lens. If it were me, I’d get the Tokina and pick something else of the zoom variety, maybe the sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 or something of that nature rather than 2 primes.
I like Picture Takers recommendation too with the 60mm Nikon micro. Probably would be my 3rd choice of primes after the 85mm and the 100mm. I guess you kind of have to weigh out what the priority is. If low light is first, then the 85mm f/1.4. The 60mm and 100mm are both macro lenses, both f/2.8, then you really have to look at what your ideal focal length is and maybe any additional features. I like the Tokina’s clutch between manual focus and AF plus it also has a limiter on it as well. I don’t have the Nikon 60mm but it was on my list of “to get’s” before I stumbled across the Tokina which based on how fantastic of a lens it is, I nearly feel guilty that I paid so small for it. Even at retail price, its really worth it.
Answer by Arun
I would suggest Nikkor 18-200mm VRII and nikkor 50 mm f/1.4D
If you find it expensive you can do well with Tamron 18-250mm asph, and Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8D

I’m plotting on buy a nikon d90 slr camera and 18-200mm lens from J&R store but am debating where to buy the Repair Master unpremeditated coverage for both the harvest. Is it worth it?? The camera is $ 999.99 and the lens is $ 650.
Answer by Andre M
Its up to you. I do not get extra warranties for my stuff, but I do have insurance for them. If you take care of your gear you should not have any problems that a fixed warranty shouldnt cover. I use my camera all the time from from ski mountains to caves and I have never had any problems with it. Again though its up to you and whether or not you reckon you can take care of your stuff.
Answer by targetarcher911
beyond doubt buy the insurance.
I am a huge Nikon fan, but the D90 was just prematurely forced onto the market, and will most likely have problems later on down the road.
Persons problems should be covered by Nikons warranty that they give you (like a year or something) but they can also say that whatever goes incorrect is “User Error”.
Then you are out the money and the camera.
I reckon %100 on the D90
It may be expensive, but it would really suck for something to go incorrect, or to have an accident with it.
For the 18-200, the warranty is not so necessary.
It is a excellent lens that has been around for a while now.
I do reccomend, but, that you get a uv filter to protect the front element from scratches. also, keep the cap on when not in use.
persons front pieces of glass get scratched reasonably easily.

I just bought a D90. I normally do NOT buy warranties but I did on the Nikon. For me the reason was that if you check out prices for cleaning, service, and repair on these cameras it will make your head spin. With this contract I can take my camera in for routine cleaning or service whenever I want. For me, that earnings whenever I get back from a beach or nature vacation I will have them get all teh dust, sand and salt out. One more business… I dropped a cheap camera into a spill in Hawaii once (I slipped). If I do this with the Nikon I’ll simply take it in and let them deal with it.

I judge the 18-200mm lense has a 5 years warranty on it. Before you buy the camera from J&R, question them to price match with additional authorized Nikon dealers (Online). Beachcamera.com has the D90 for about 888 dollars. The lense is about 539 dollars. If you ship the items to New Jersey, you save on tax!
