Nikon D7000 manual 349

Chapter 11 ■ Working with Lenses 349

Figure 11.2 This 10-24mm zoom gives the Nikon D7000 true ultra-wide capabilities.

Figure 11.3 The AF-S DX VR II Zoom-Nikkor 18- 105mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED is one of the most popular basic lenses for the Nikon D7000.

Nikon offered it as a kit with the 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED VR II zoom. (See Figure 11.3.) However, the body was also readily available for many purchasers who, like me, fall into one of the following categories: Those who are upgrading from the Nikon D300, from a Nikon film camera, or who are buying the D7000 as a second camera body to complement their more advanced DX model, or even as an adjunct to their full-frame camera. These owners, too, generally have lenses they can use with their new D7000.

So, depending on which category you fall into, you’ll need to make a decision about what kit lens to buy, or decide what other kind of lenses you need to fill out your com- plement of Nikon optics. This section will cover “first lens” concerns, while later in the chapter we’ll look at “add-on lens” considerations.
