Hey

I have recently bought a Nikon D7000 camera, that also came with a DX AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1.8G Lens....(it also came with the manual and an extra book, specifically on the D7000)

Now...I can honestly say I know very little about DSLR's and how to take a decent picture(not that I've used this one yet) and know even less about what I want/need.

I bought this camera mainly to use to take Cannabis pictures(but will use it for other things) so am wondering..."what other lenses to get?"

So...can some people here let me know what I need(and why i need it/what is it's use(s)?) (and where the lens I have fits into this picture)

From first guess I basically want to take full room pics....pics of a nice bud growing....dried bud pics....and....it's probably not all that necessary(and I'm guessing some will just say buy a microscope contraption...but just humor me ) (and have read and seen that micro lenses CAN be pretty expensive?) maybe some macro pics ?...

Now I see that there are other makers of lenses....what are some trusted manufactures and I cant afford the Nikon/nikkor lenses

Also...the more I read the more confused on get on the flash department...some things I've read that there can be too much light with a normal flash...and with those flash rings..not enough/wrong sort of light...I don't know lol...they more I read the more it confuses me lol

Some places I have seen talk about getting one of those tracks to hold 2 flashes????? .....and have seen the recommendation to buy an older model(cant find the info i kept on it?...maybe I didn't?) Nikon flash

And a tri pod (or 2...a small one)...I'm guessing from what I have read they are not all created equal and prices can get ridiculous...so what really do I need to look for and will be happy using???

Hmmmmm I cant think what else (if anything) I needed to ask?(may have more questions later?)

OK...Thanks for any possible help you may be able to offer.HH. =]-~
