[QUOTE="dragion, post: 165627, member: 11721"] Can't really answer question one, since I don't have any experience with the 55-300mm...only 55-200mm. But I would say Yes...my $.02. Yes, to answer two. I have the D3100 and don't plan on upgrading the body anytime soon. Mine came with the 18-55mm kit lens and decided to add the 55-200mm for longer coverage. I realized that the 18-55mm didn't have the reach I wanted and constantly switching to the 55-200mm wasn't convenient. I decided to upgrade to 18-105mm & 70-300mm and can't be more pleased with my decision. I ended up purchasing both lenses from local sellers on Craigslist. Confirming from both sellers the condition and background of the lenses before meeting up and testing/purchasing them. I paid $180 for the 18-105mm in almost new condition...used for 6 months. I got the 70-300mm pretty much brand new for $320...just a month old and used only twice. So, if you research carefully, you can get a great deal...just need to look. :o I hope this helped! [/QUOTE]
