D70 Lens Questions!

[Spec A!]

A note on Polarizers- there are 2 types, linear and circular. Linear are the original kind, and polarize light waves in a linear fashion as they pass through the filter. When autofocus cameras came about, the earlier AF line sensors would get screwed up when using them so the circular ones came about, and they polarize light waves in a cork screw sort of way, not interfering with the line sensors. Now after a good 20 years of development in AF sensors, they really won't be messed up by Linear polarizers. The thing is, the circular ones are being pushed way more- and they are way more expensive. So if you get one, which I highly recommend you do, get a Linear. They polarize light much more effectively, won't screw with your Af system, and cost 3 times less.

Since you have the kit lens, consider getting low profile filters- ones with the slim rings as you will run into vingetting if you use more than one filter at the widest focal length.

Also one more thing- Anything over 50mm is consider telephoto. 45-50mm approximates the same field of vision that one eyeball sees, and therefore anything above is telephoto, anything below 45 is wide angle.

I also meant to comment on lenses:
The Micro Nikkor 60mm f2.8 is sharp, has almost no pincushion distortion, and will focus down to about 8.75", and will give you a 1:1 reproduction ratio (lifesize on film). Should be around $350, and I think there are rebates still on it. The 105mm is good as well, but can't focus nearly as close and makes it more limited in my opinion.

The 10.5mm Nikkor is new to me, I'd love one, and it seems to be of the same design as the 16mm fisheye which is a great lens. I owned the 14mm f2.8 Nikkor, that thing was freaking awesome (kicking myself for selling it!).

Always the best way to see what you like- try em out! Find a local camera store that will let you try it on for size. I used to run a local Ritz competitor, and we'd let our customers shoot a roll of film and process it for free to try out a lens. Since we have digital bodies, there really is no stopping you from finding one in a store and playing with it!
