Hello again! I'm not a professional photographer (I'm a musician, in fact), but take pictures since I was 6, so you can bet I like it. This year I switched from my grandda's '62 Pentax to a Nikon F50, the kit with the plastic malaysian 35/80 which works just fine for what I do: take pictures when I travel (architecture, landscapes, portraits) . Now I'm planning to buy a good (and also cheap, I'm afraid) 80/200 or maybe 300 to take pictures of birds and animals, my other hobby whe it comes to taking pictures. Well, I'm not quite sure which non-Nikon lenses would work with my F50. I've seen in B&H that Sigma and Tamron both make models that are Nikon-compatible. Any advice? BTW, I want to shift the quality of my color landscapes, and somebody told me I need a polarizer filter in order to capture the skies. Is that true? I never used any filter with exception of a skylight, so any advice on this topic would be useful too. Thank you very much. Patricio Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
