I went and did some Year One pictures for a friend at the fire house. I have been thinking of switching to Nikon over my Olympus after 5 years. I think the Nikon handels harsh lighting better than the Olympus. Here are two examples.
The Nikon was a D40 with a 70-200mm 2.8 Tamron lens. $700
The Olympus was a E510 with a 14-54mm 2.8-3.5 I ZUIKO $300 used
I want a 50-200mm 2.8-3.5 but it is around $1000
I am afraid I will be disappointed in the $1000 wonder lens. I love portraiture and the 14-54 doesn't cut it.
What should I do?
