Hello all,
To start, I am very new to DSLR cameras, and do not have an excellent grasp on what all the terminology and numbers mean, so please take that in to account when answering.
I have a Nikon D5600. I understand that this is a Cropped DX sensor. When I got it, it came with a Nikkor AF-P 70-300mm 1 4.5-6.3G ED telephoto, and a Nikkor AF-P 18-55 1:3.5-5.6G VR lens.
For an upcoming trip, I bought a Nikkor AF-S 18-140 1:1.35-5.6G ED VR lens since I would not have time to swap between lenses. I was very impressed with this lens, and especially the vibration reduction.
I am wanting to replace my 70-300 with a VR capable lens since most of my shots will be free handed. My primary interest is airshows, so fast moving subjects. I am stumbling on what is the right choice. I dont really see myself in the future upgrading cameras to a full sensor.
One of my friends recommended the NIKKOR AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR Autofocus IF Lens, which I understand is a larger lens package for full sensors. I also noticed a Nikkor AF-S DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR Autofocus APS-C Lens, and what I believe is the exact same lens as what I have, but with VR -- Nikkor AF-P DX 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 G ED VR Autofocus APS-C Lens.
I dont know enough to compare Sigma and Tamron to Nikkor, but if you feel strongly one way to those, please let me know as well.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
