[QUOTE="DraganDL, post: 254670, member: 18251"] Tricky. The least expensive of them all would be Nikon 55-200mm "kit" lens, without VR (vibration reduction): [URL]http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/55200.htm[/URL] Better solution (in my opinion), not significantly pricier than the aforementioned one is Sigma 70-300mm (but ONLY if you "can live" without the optical stabilization/vibration reduction) which is capable of taking photos in "macro mode" too: [URL="http://www.sigmaphoto.com/product/70-300mm-f4-56-apo-dg-macro"]70-300mm F4-5.6 APO DG Macro - Telephoto Zoom Lenses - SigmaPhoto.com[/URL] Or, maybe Tamron's 70-300mm: [URL]http://www.tamron.com/en/photolens/di_telephoto/a17.html[/URL] All these lenses have their "optically stabilized" variants, but these are much more expensive (nevertheless, consider them just as well). Forgot to ask you this: do you ALREADY have ANY lens(es)? Like, "kit" 18-55mm, or you bought the camera body only? [/QUOTE]
