[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 23654, member: 1061"] As previously mentioned, you're really talking about a need for 3 different lenses: [LIST] [*]Landscape (wide-angle) [*]Wildlife (telephoto) [*]Macro [/LIST] I think you would get more bang for your buck going with the [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/549304-REG/Sigma_5A8306_70_300mm_f_4_5_6_APO_DG.html"]Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro[/URL]. This lens is a bit more expensive at $239, but still in your price range. It also adds macro functionality (which is 1:2, not true 1:1 macro) and will produce the same image quality as the mentioned Nikon lens. This lens also has a noted improvement in auto-focus speed over the above Nikon lens, which is important for wildlife. [/QUOTE]
