I really appreciated your steps there James. Very clear and easy to understand. I think I will print that out to use as a guide in the future as well!

I am looking into buying a 50mm lens for my Nikon D3200.
Just wondering if anyone has any good suggestions of where to look for one that would not be to expensive but still have good quality. Would Amazon be a good place to look, or something more like going into a camera shop to try it out?
I would appreciate any suggestions!! Thanks!
