I shot this test in my attic. I was off focus a little bit on myself. But I set up the shot alone… The new 35mm F/1.8 is pretty good in low light. I cleaned up the grain with Neat video plug in.
I noticed on different monitors the video is quite different from computer to computer. On my HD TV this thing looks amazing. At my work it looks like poop.

I am ready to upgrade in the lens department.
I’ve had my D90 for about 18 months now, ad have been using the lens that was included in the kit, Nikon’s AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens
It’s been great to me, but I am starting to do more shoots professionally and would like to upgrade without spending a lot. I want to stay around $500-$600
I am looking for some reccomendations please
Thank you
for example, I was looking at getting something like this:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Tamron-18-270mm-f3-5-6-3-Macro-Lens-for-Nikon-DX-KIT_W0QQitemZ130355627919QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCamera_Lenses?hash=item1e59cd078f#ht_3088wt_1153
For photo shoots I bring several of my lenses but I really live off of two of them:
AF Nikkor 70-300mm
and
AF Nikkor 20-35mm
These two get me through everything from micro shots, to long distance, to wide pictures.
They are both pretty expensive new so I would try buying them used. I get my lenses from the used section of B&H Photo. They are fairly cheap on there (close to what you would pay on ebay). But they have a rating system that lets you know the condition of the lenses and they have a 90 money back gurantee. I got an extra 70-300mm lens for around $120.00.
***As a general word on the brand of lens. I’ve been blessed to know several well-known photographic professionals and when I asked about lenses they all told me that people are spending so much money on cameras nowadays then buying crummy lenses and it makes the cameras go to waste. It’s better to have an amazing lens and a mediocre camera than the other way around. They equate it to putting old rusted tires on a mercedes…sure you have a nice car, but you’re not going to be able to use it properly. So as a general rule, try to buy a used nikon lens over say a brand new cheaper brand.
