[QUOTE="aroy, post: 294894, member: 16090"] I finally decided to try this lense again. This was bought by my son a long time back and was so so on the D70. It is quite soft on the D3300, but in some situations when you need the reach it will do. [ATTACH=CONFIG]84101._xfImport[/ATTACH] I tried to take close up of flowers, but two things were against me - The closest focusing distance is nearly 6 feet - This lense has no motor, so unlike the D70 and the D300, it is a MF on D3300. At close distance the DOF is very shallow so getting a tack sharp image (at close range) without tripod and live view is practically impossible. Where I was able to get some where is in shooting birds. I could get between 10 and 20 feet before spooking them. Here are some bird shots. The flower shots are not worth showing. [ATTACH=CONFIG]84105._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]84104._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]84103._xfImport[/ATTACH] The birds fill about 30% of the view. For comparison below are 100% crop view of birds taken with 18-55 at 55mm [ATTACH=CONFIG]84107._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]84102._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]84106._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
