Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX ED 18-70mm F/3.5-4.5 G IF Lens SLR
Was really wanting a mid range zoom like the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G but the price wasn't coming down yet, even for used ones.
Saw this one on ebay for $74.00 and I thought that I would try and get it if the total with shipping would be less than $100.00.
15 seconds left nobody else was bidding and I nailed it at $84 + 9.50 shipping so I did still get it for less than a hundred.
I understand it doesn't have VR but am hoping it will be good for low light if the D5100 does most of the heavy lifting.
Not really sure what I am getting Pat or the proper technical terminology to use.
My goal was to find an affordable lens that I can zoom in / bring the subject in closer and not have the foreground and background compressed as if I was looking through a straw. The 67mm lens cap is what I am guessing will help get me there -- I hope.
If not, then the as long as the used lens isn't junk, at the price I paid I shouldn't have trouble getting my moneys worth.
