Which Lens?

Joo0 · 2014-12-07 17:42:58

Hi, Looking to buy a lens for a family member who has a Nikon 5100/5200. They have the lens that came with it. They would be into video so I was thinking of this for them http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nikon-AF-S-NIKKOR-35mm-1-8G/dp/B001S2PPT0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417974148&sr=8-2&keywords=nikon+lens Would that be a good lens…

I had one paired with a 5100. You can't go wrong with it.
