Can't wait to take this one to the WWII weekend and airshow this year.

Grats on that,

Past Xmas, for me I got the D3200. Not sure where that compares to yours but, about the part about you having a lot to learn, I still have not got past the auto setting yet


Cheers

I too have invested in Nikon D3300. Came with a 18-55mm lens. May look into a Macro lens at some point in the future. Lots to learn especially transitioning from a Fuji 'point, click,...shoot' 10 plus year old digital.

If you plan the Macro lens for shooting pictures of scale models - keep the money. The "Macro" in DSLR lenses is more for taking close ups of insects etc from very close in and get that to fill the picture. The "kit" lens is good enough for modelling work where you typically want a bigger depth of field than the "Macro guys".
