[QUOTE="kdean63, post: 123885, member: 13273"] I'm an amateur hobbyist, considering a new lens. I have two older Nikkor lenses (35-70 & 70-210). I'm tempted to go with the Nikkor AFS-S DX 18-300 VR as a general purpose solution. What am I giving up by choosing this lens? limited light/speed? weight? issue with zoom creep? Example: I was on a river tour in Costa Rica. I needed something for short range (3-8') shots, but also wanted some long range shots of wildlife on the river bank. I didn't want to carry two bodies or take time to swap lenses. Admitedly, this is not typical and I often could use a narrower range lens for better performance. I often shoot sports & action shots. I'm interested in any suggestions/comments. Thanks! (My current body is a D100 but considering a 5200 or 7100.) Kevin [/QUOTE]
