Nikon D750...best affordable lens for weddings?!

[jlp123]

If you do not know what lens to get, I will suggest getting a standard zoom lens first. So a zoom lens that cover focal length roughly from 24mm (wide angle side) to 135mm (telephoto side), plus or minus.

Get a standard zoom lens first and learn, once you know more about photography and photography gears, you should know what to get next.[/QUOTE

I think a lot of people in this forum are over reacted. OP just simply said "Im interested in getting into wedding photography" I could be wrong, but I think it means he or she is interested in becoming a Wedding Photographer in the future. There is no different than my daughter (still in elementary school) once to me she want to be a coder, teacher, musician or artist (yes, she did told me that, it all depends on she like to do at that time).

They never said "I have wedding photography job next week, can anyone tell me what camera and lens to get?"

Thank you! I am a kindergarten teacher and you're spot on with your response!

I was considering the 24-120 or 24-85...

Budget for this lens?
affordable varies for people.

maybe the 24-85/2.8-4.0 AF-D. Gives you a good range and a fast lens at a very affordable amount. Don't expect it to have the high image quality of a 24-70/2.8 across the edges, etc. But for price vs performance it's up there.

I use that 24-85/2.8-4.0 AF-D and also a 80-200/2.8 AF-D. Both much cheaper than their modern counterparts 24-70/2.8 and 70-200/2.8.

The 24-85 was one of my thoughts
