Which lens for Nikon D70s?
Hi,
I was going to get a Nikon D70s body, and a few different cheaper lens’s until I get the feel for the different focal range and aperture. I was wondering if I can get regular ‘ol nikkor automatic focus lenses and put them on the D70s, or do I have to get a digital lens for decent pic?
I’m looking at a:
Nikon 24-70 3.5 5.6 Ix Lens F/nik Proni
Condition E
Will this lens work for the camera?
Any other thoughts?
(PS, yes, I know not to go cheap with lens’s but until I know what I really want to shoot, i’m thinking of going to the cheaper route.)
Thanks
All lenses for the Nikon mount (from Nikon, Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, etc.) with auto-focus will work on the D70s.
A 24-70mm lens will give you a nice zoom range, but I personally like to go wider for indoor/ landscapes/ street photography. I’d opt for the kit lens for the D70s: the Nikon 18-70mm zoom. This also happens to be a great lens for the price. For less, you could look at the 18-55mm lens that comes with the Nikon D40/ D50. You can find tons of these used, from people that have already upgraded. Or you could look for a third party alternative that starts at 18mm.
(If focal lengths mean anything to you, Nikon dSLR bodies effectively magnify your lenses by a factor 1.5. So an 18-70mm lens will appear to be 27-105mm.)

Emma, the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 is a +$400 lens and it’s soft along the edges. Still, it’s a great lens in the right hands. Also, Flikr isn’t necessarily the best place to look for samples – you have to downrez the crap out of your pictures there unless you have a pro account. At just 500 pixels wide, anything will look good.
