Kate Baune: You are willing to spend how much on a D800 and are clueless about lenses other than knowing you want to stick a budget lens on it? Seriously, you don't need such a camera for the level you are at. If you go for a good but cheaper camera now, you'll always be able to use your first camera as a second body later on. When you are ready to move on, you'll also realize there is no point in skimping on the quality of your glass.
Clifford Riggleman: Hi,I think prime lenses are great, but I have to say you should save your money first. The 35mm lens is great but I don't think it's wide enough to do landscaping shot's that you want. You could use your 18 to 55 lens and try to stay back as possible.Hope this helps..Check out some of the landscaping shot's on my site, I used 17 to 35mm lens to do the shots http://www.photographyinstyle.net/around.html...Show more
Nilda Bafia: 35mm prime lens with your Nikon is equal to about 52mm lens which is not wide a! ngle. The primes that are wide angle for the Nikon DX line are not cheap (as for the other APS sized sensor cameras). You may want to look for used deals on lenses.Below I listed links to sellers and they also have used equipment.Hope this helps.Mark...Show more
Keven Drumgole: 35mm is a really useful focal length, equiv to 52mm field of view of a full frame it can do everything (I love my 50mm on my film cameras). However as a dedicated landscape lens it's somewhat limiting. You will find that it's not quite wide enough, nor long enough to pick out something in the distance.You will find that your 18-55mm lens is actually good length for landscapes, at 18mm, and if you stop down to f8 you'll be smiling. Make sure when you focus that you focus 1/3 of the way into a scene rather than at infinity, this will give you a great deal more in terms of sharpness.I would rather save the money for a Sigma 10-20 or Tokina 11-16 or spend it on a strong tripod since that a landsc! ape photographers second best friend....Show more
Kate B! aune: Sadly a wide and prime lens is expensive because they're usually faster. p.s. 35 mm lens isn't wide at all on your camera.
