[QUOTE="King Mustard, post: 834363, member: 12560"] When I bought my Nikon D3300, it came with the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_AF-S_DX_Zoom-Nikkor_18-55mm_f/3.5-5.6G']Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II[/URL] 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 [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_AF-S_DX_Nikkor_18-105mm_f/3.5-5.6G_ED_VR']Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR[/URL]. 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?

(for example, when I 'zoomed all the way back out', would the photos still look ok?) Ideally, I only want one lens for the camera.
