rev or carina[views:2387][posts:8]_________________________________________ [Dec 20,2005 10:22am - Josh_hates_you ""] My girlfriend just bought a Nikon D50 camera and she wants a wide angle lens to go with it. I know nothing of cameras but I have the day off to go buy her a lens for x-mas. Any suggestions? |

She mentioned getting a fish eye someday but I think she wants it for landscapes since she takes alot of nature photos. I might go to the Hunts Photo in PVD. |
