What lens next?

    Hey guys. I am wondering what lens to buy next? I have the 18-55 kit lens. A 55-300 telephoto sigma lens and a 50mm prime lens.

    My question to ye is what lense would ye consider buying next and for what reason?! I am kind of an all around photographer. I started off doing car photography and street photography which I really enjoy.

    But thinking of getting a portrait lense or something I can use for everything? If you get me? I would buy a macro lense but I don’t want to spend huge money on something I would rarely use. It’s not really my thing!

    All advice is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for reading.

    I’d say your 50mm is a portrait lens. How about a wide angle lens? I bought a Sigma 10-20 a couple of years ago and found it to be a whole new experience giving a whole new angle (pun intended!) on my photography.

    Thanks man. I may look into them alright! Never really considered a wide angle lense. But I’ll have a look around for one. :) and some reviews of course!

    Hi, as you said a portrait lens which i would agree with the other poster you already have with the 50mm and also you 55-300 can be used very well for portraits I would suggest you also think about a speedlight if you haven’t got one already. I got a YN565EX a little while back for about £110 on amazon. It works great with my canon 550D ETTL and all (although I usually use it manually anyway) I don’t think the ETTL works great with Nikon though not sure what camera you have. The difference to your photgraphy a proper flash makes is unbelievable.
    Thanks
