Hi Everyone, Tom Here. New to the DSLR arena and just now becoming acquainted with my camera and lenses. Had a Nikon SLR many years ago but recently bought a Nikon D7500 package from Red Tag Camera. While many of the package accessories were pretty basic, I have begun upgrading some of them, but felt I received a fairly decent package at a good price, paid about $1,250 for D7500 Body, a Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR AF-P DX NIKKOR Zoom Lens, a Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Autofocus Lens for Nikon AF and a host of other accessories. I have also added a refurbished AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II from Nikon.

My question, should I stick with the current group of lenses or begin to upgrade them. If upgrading, what would you recommend. I will shoot a myriad of subjects including, my dog, flowers, landscapes, people, some sports (Mainly baseball and hockey), animals, etc.

Have enjoyed the posts by members thus far, including some of the humor, and picked up some great tips. Glad to be on board.

Thanks.

Tom

Hi Tom Here. Just go our and shoot things, take pictures of everything you can. Then evaluate your output and if a different lens would make a difference. The creative space has a steep learning curve from snapshots to photographs. Take your time, pixels are free.
