<p>A simple question really, but one that I have no experience in. I am thinking of upgrading from my basic neck strap into someone more practical and less painful and was wondering which one you guys could recommend. The equipment I will be running is a nikon d3000 with a sigma 10-20 mm lens so weight shouldn't be an issue. I also have an camera backpack if that makes a difference. They are both prices closed together so I just trying to make a final decision based on what you guys may have experience with it.</p>

<p>thanks guys for all the helpful responses. In terms of the what kind of architecture I will be shooting; I will mostly focusing on exterior architectural or massive interiors like cathedral spaces, so I don't believe I need an flash just yet. On a side note I just found an Tamaron SP 90mm F/2.8 macro lens laying around my house. What would this lens best be used for? <br>

Dan I already have Photoshop when I purchase a school version for my projects a while back so, it is already a part of my arsenal. I also never knew 24mm PC lens could cost as little as most I've seen is around the couple thousands range and will have to consider this as also an option. <br>

I know theres a difference from a full body to the type of camera I have and was wondering what would be the stepping down in that case for a 24mm PC lens or up as I am still learning?<br>

In terms of purchasing the lens itself, what kind of sites do you guys recommend me visiting and how do I make sure I get the best deal as possible.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the responses. I took a photography class a while back, and was lucky enough to get to play around with a PC lens, but like many of you stated, those are a bit outta my price range. As for what Colin had stated doing the post work after the camera is no biggie for me. As strange as it might sound, I am very good with Photoshop have to use a digital camera within a program to complete architectural renderings and post edit it to make it look nicer.<br>

That being the case and I don't mine doing the post edit is the Sigma 10-20mm the best option for me?</p>

<p>I'm somewhat of a beginner still in photography and my current set up is a Nikon D3000 with the basic kit and 55-200m zoom lens. I was able to save up a bit of cash and was wondering what should be next lens be. Considering that I am an architect intern, I am leaning towards getting a wider angle lens, but am unsure on which would be best. <br>

Should it be a fixed prime lens or a wide zoom lens. My cost range is around 600 max, but I would like to be a bit lower so I cam purchase some much needed filters and other small things.</p>
