[QUOTE="WhiteLight, post: 55966, member: 9556"] Hi All! Well i got myself a D5100 earlier this year bundled with a 18-55mm.. Now am really itching for a decent zoom lens.. I really have my eyes set on the [U][/U]Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens... but a few people's comments on the net about the AF being too slow is holding me back... I also checked out the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED (4.3x) Lens but don't see too much of a difference considering the price diff, am i wrong? As i said, i just started off, never had a camera before, but since i have had the D5100 i don't seem to find much time for anything else :D I don't think i would be out photographing action sports and stuff, but definitely nature & wildlife and of course the sky ;) i know i won't get anywhere close with either of these lenses, but i guess that's about how much i can afford for the moment. Please advice if this lens (55-300) is recommended & what would i be missing out on in comparison. If also you have any other lenses in mind, please do let me know! Thanks a bunch :) [/QUOTE]
