When I bought my Nikon D3300, it came with the Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II lens.
However, I wanted to be able to 'zoom in' further, whilst not losing the ability to take photos at a normal range.
As you can tell by my phrasing, I am very-much a beginner to all of this.
I ended up with a Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR.
This did the job quite well and allowed me to get closer to subjects in the distance, but retained my ability to use it as a 'normal 1x camera' (I apologise for my phrasing!).
If I wanted to be able to zoom in further, can I check if the following would be my options?
Ideally, I only want one lens for the camera.
I understand there will be compromises but hopefully, they are not too bad for an amateur photographer (generally family parties, family outdoor events etc)
