Just want to know what will happen if you accidentally change your lens without turning off you camera? I watch some video but it seems that nothing happen bad because they are showing the speed " click" ( shutter) pn their camera... Anybody can help me? Please explain .... Thanks a lot..

Wish I did my homework first but being my first DSLR I love the D60 :)

for me yes if u got the best dslr that is an advantage, but the most important is ur skill

@macedonianwolf the best lens to start with imho is the Sigma 70-200/1:2.8 EX DG Makro HSM II because you can shoot wonderful landscapes not only with super wideangled lenses, the frame is important not the focal length. second it is a 2.8 so it means that a lot more light is going to get to the sensor in comparison to a 3.5, 4.8 or eve 5.6; this means, that you can keep the shutterspeed lower (blurry images most of the time aren't worth anything) and you can cut the ISO for better image quality

I got my D60 KIT

I travel a lot so I need a landscape LENS, but I do enjoy portraits a lot...

I was thinking of getting the

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm F1.8 G (But I got an info. that is not a full frame LENS)

NIKKOR AF 50mm f1.8D (I know the AF doesnt work on the D60 but its a good portrait lens)

or

NIKKOR AF-S DX VR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED

or

Nikkor AF-S DX 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED

( I still don`t understand why is the 200mm cheaper then the 135mm?)

I purchased a Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens but I can't seem to be able to attach it to my Nikon D60. I read many reviews that this lens is suppose to workon this camera. Can you help me?

[ericrap012]

Sir as a professional photographer which type of lens do you suggest for bikini photo shoot a wide angle? Or a long zoom...please reply thank you Eric.

I was looking on the Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SLD DG , but as said, don't buy a lens withouth "AF-S" ? Im an amatuer photographer but I want a zoom lens for my d60. Thanks!

I´ve got a d60 with a 50mm f 1.8.

Should I buy the 35MM AFS f 1.8 lense???
