Neat website which asks you to choose what system you use, asks you to pick your favorite photos from the ones displayed, then gives you lens recommendations. If you're not up to speed on the technical side of lenses, this might be for you...😉

nice :) thanx for this link.
I was curious, so I gave it a try. It told me I need a Nikon D750 (which I currently use) and the Sigma 12-24 or Nikon 24-70. I have neither , but I've been looking at the Sigma 12-24 for a while, just have not decided.
As for the 24-70 , it would be grate , but I do have something else which I'm happy with for now.

I ran the test backward, I know what lens I love and chose photos accordingly, the recommendation I got was accurate. :)

And mousing over the image reveals the lens used too.

Obviously you have to be smart and choose within a category, for example the attached images were obviously taken with different lenses. No one DSLR lens can capture both.

I have not heard of a Nikon lens called a D750.
