Guidance needed on upgrade options ? I have owned a Nikon D3200 and the kit lens since 2014 but I haven’t used it in over 5 years up until recently. I purchased a 35mm f1.8g to take pictures of my 2 year old as well as family gatherings. The setup seems to take great pictures when she’s very still but this isn’t very often because is is usually non-stop. I have really been enjoying…
