The 24-120 lens came with my d750 kit. A fabulous package, refurb or not. You can’t go wrong. Your 35mm lens might be DX. It would not be optimal for a full frame camera. Their 50 mm designed for FX would be a better choice and it is not expensive.
If you just purchased the camera, return it and get another one. I wouldn’t take any chances with my hard earned money to get stuck with a possibly defective product.
Great shots Earl. These are the only “X” rated shots that you can get away with on the Hog 🤡
I have the Lowepro 55 model. It has an all weather cover that stores in a Velcro pocket on the outside bottom of the case. This feature has come in handy on quite a few occasions on those south Florida downpours.
Welcome aboard. Learn a lot and go out and shoot a lot.
Start her off with a Canon Elph. It will be a good fit for her as it was for my grandkids.
Beautiful, Earl. Do they grow terrestrial, or on trees?
Welcome aboard and never stop shooting.
You are one of the luck ones. In my area, the brown truck rules. FedEx service is terrible for my area and I don’t live in a rural area!
I use a tilt head Benro dj80 on my monopod. Simple to use, solid and stable and suits me just fine. I use a ball head on my manfrotto tripod.

Wow, nice shot of a big one. Where did you take this photo?
Welcome to our forum. I was a little overwhelmed by my d7000 when I first bought it. Bought a manual, read sections, but mostly went out there with a small notebook and took lots of pics and made notes. Go out and shoot, shoot, shoot and have a great time. You served our country, now it’s time for you to enjoy.
SD cards are convenient, inexpensive, and reliable. I have many which will probably outlive me!
When I shot the Chihuly exhibit at the NY Botanical Gardens, cameras and flashes were all allowed-except tripods in the conservatory.
