I just got a good deal on an AF-100 and even after reading about the 'perfect' lens issue I still think I would have gone with this camera...after researching my options I think I'm going to grab the Lumix 14-140mm and get a set of Nikon Nikkor primes. I have yet to use this camera so I was wondering what people would suggest in terms of focal lengths for a wide, medium, and long lens. I also have $1000 to spend on the prime lenses. I know its not much, but it is what it is.

Thanks!

Edit: Also, I was wondering what this lens would look like on this camera: Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX Fisheye Nikkor

Here are some pics using it: http://www.google.com/search?q=Niko...KJ5SG9QSf54CYAQ&ved=0CGgQsAQ&biw=1124&bih=653

How much would the crop factor take away the distortion? or whats your best guess?

Get the 14-140, once you know which focal lengths you use the most then buy the appropriate primes needed.

All the Best!

Good idea to use nikon mount lenses. They work on pretty much anything. Though I have a Nikkor 50mm 1.4 and I rarely use it. My 50mm looks soft and I feel like it has too much chromatic aberrations. It's personal preference though. I find myself using the Rokinon/Samyang lenses I have a lot more. I have the 35mm and the 85mm and you can get both of them for less than $800 new. Even used Nikkors will probably run your more than that. I wish they made a 50mm prime because I know I would pick it up.

Also, spend money on a good lens adapter like the novoflex or something similar.
