[QUOTE="Zero4, post: 40540, member: 8078"] Hey Everyone- (I was searching the forum and didn't see a post that was dealing with a comparison/recommendations between the following, If I missed it, please let me know.) I'm looking into getting a new lens for my D3100, and was debating between the following two lenses: Nikon 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX (Amazon Link: [url]http://amzn.com/B003ZSHNCC[/url] ) - $249 Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD (Amazon Link: [url]http://amzn.com/B0012UUP02[/url] ) - $160 I'm not sure which would be better for me, just from a cost perspective, the Tamron seems more cost effective, however I'm not very familiar with Tamron and can't find many good comparisons between the two lenses. I'm not sure if I want to venture away from Nikon lenses or not. I enjoy animal/nature photography and concert photography, only have the 18-55 kit lens. Also, I will be going on a few trip in the coming months. I am trying to be budget conscious, but get the most bang for my buck. If there is anything else you'd like to know, please let me know. Thanks in advance for your thoughts. [/QUOTE]
