Shopper conversation with Courtney B on June 27, 2016

Courtney B
Hi! How are you? I noticed that you were looking at lenses?
Did you have questions about any in particular today?
Yes I do have questions. I shoot with a Nikon D80. I am in the market for a lense equivalent to a 18-85mm f/2.8. What do you recommend?
Courtney B
Let me see what we have available!
Do you ever plan to use it on an FX camera?
Or is a DX lens ok?
DX is ok
Courtney B
Ok!
The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 is one excellent option!
Anything with a wider aperture, faster?
Courtney B
The only zoom lens that has a wider aperture than f/2.8 is the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8
Would that be a lens that interests you at all?
Perhaps
Courtney B
Ok!
Let me bring it up for you
Here it is
How about a fixed lense 80mm, 85mm f/1.8, but not more than f/2.8
Courtney B
Ok!
Sure!
The Nikon 85mm f/1.8G is a great lens!
Thank you for your assistance. Have a great day.
Courtney B
This is a really sharp lens!
You're welcome!
