<p>Good morning, we've been getting a lot of rain and the wild flowers appreciate it.</p><div></div>

<p>I shoot mostly out door stuff, landscapes, old houses, barns, flowers, old rusty cars, some people, just anything that comes our way when we set out. My wife and I drive all over our state and the surrounding states to see what we find. So in sounds like maybe I need to find a particular subject matter/style and then see what I need if anything. Thanks for keeping me in check.</p>

<p>Ok so I've got some money coming in soon, and I want to add to my lens collection. Currently I have the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8, Tamron 70-300 VC the newer one, and Nikon 35 f/1.8 DX and Tokina 11-16. What do y'all recommend? Thinking about a 50mm prime, 85mm prime or 100mm or so macro. The amount coming in is around $900.00. My camera is a D7000.</p>

<p>Here is the Tamron</p><div></div>

<p>I own the D7000 and my favorite lens is the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 the newer version (which isn't new anymore). It stays on my camera most of the time. My second favorite is the Nikon DX 35 f/1.8, although a prime lens and maybe not as practical it is very fun and easy to use. Here are a couple of samples.</p><div></div>

<p>There is a lot of buzz around the internet about the new 4/3 mirror less cameras. Some "Pro's" even saying that this format is possibly the death of the DSLR. The new upcoming Panasonic GH4, Olympus OMD-EM1, Sony a7, a7r (these aren't 4/3) seem to be the ones making a challenge to the FX and APSC DSLR's. I shoot with the Nikon D7000 and like it, my wife has the Sony a77 and I like it also. In the future I want to get a second body, and these mirror less cameras are intriguing me with their IQ and weather resistance and light weight. I know that having two different brand cameras wouldn't preferable for obvious reasons, so what is the consensus view, should I sell the D7000 and lenses, for smaller lighter 4/3's or just add to it?<br> Oh you might ask what type of shooting do I do, well...all sorts. I do some sports (cycling), portrait, mostly landscapes. I would like to also get into off camera lighting, I as of now only have an SB800.</p>
