3 Steps To Your New Professional Photography Equipment
Now that you are buying professional photography equipment you have to choose the right one. There is a lot of choice and it comes down to your preferences. But how do you narrow it down to the right choice. Keep reading to get 3 great suggestions for you.
1 - Be Sure You Are Ready For Professional Equipment. Moving to professional level equipment can be quite expensive for the really good models. Make sure that you are ready for the equipment and that you can take advantage of the features that the unit has. Many professional cameras do not have a lot of the automatic settings and guide modes that the consumer level units have so you have to know how to use them properly. Professional units are built stronger than consumer cameras. This is to ensure they survive being carried around all day, every day. The housings are stronger and it has a better mounting system.
2 - Choose You Manufacturer. Making you choice means staying with that brand for some time. While most brands made high quality cameras they are designed that the lenses can not be shared between brands. You can not take a Nikon lens and attach it to a Canon body. Camera lenses are expensive and a serious investment. So that you can use you existing lenses you should keep with the same brand with your new camera. Over time you can start replacing your lenses with better quality lenses to go with your better quality body. If you are getting everything brand new you can choose anyone that you prefer. The best strategy is to try them out and see what fits best for you. The software in each unit is quite different and some fit your style better. Many accessories, such as remote flashes, are manufacturer specific as well. Something like a light box would be more generic and work with any model, sometimes you can find adapters to make it work with different cameras.
3 - Choose Your Model. Once you have chosen your brand you have to choose the model. Depending on what kind of pictures you are going to take, the model you need changed. If you are taking portraits you do not need a model with a telephoto lens. A good macro setting is needed if you plan on taking pictures of plants or details. Nature photography requires a good zoom lens and the ability to take fast action photographs in a variety of light levels. Look at the specifications of the cameras and choose based on your intended pictures.
Whichever camera, lens and accessories you choose you will get many years of service out of your professional photography equipment. If you want to be happy, make sure you do your homework. The clarity and the detail of your photographs depends on the quality of your camera.

lens adapter question?
Hey!
I have a Nikon D40 and I'm very happy with it.
is there an adapter that I can screw onto the front of my 18-55mm lens that would make it an 18-105mm lens?Or something close?
what are the pros and cons to this approach?
what do you recommend? would you just get a 18-105 lens?
Sorry if this isn't clear. any information is appreciated.
the camera would take a 52mm filter(if I had one)
yes you can get screw in teleconverter filters but they aren't very good.
The next better option is to get an authentic Nikon teleconverter, I think they come in 1.4X and 2x that will make the effective range of your lens
36-110mm. However, I'm not sure if it will work with your camera or lens.
This type of teleconverter actually mounts between your camera and lens and is better quality.
Personally, I'd get either a 55-200mm or 18-200mm lens rather than an 18-105 if I already had an 18-55
