I'm hoping to get a lens that I can take wildlife photos with. Right now, I have the 18-55mm kit lens and am almost always at 55mm so I know I need more zoom. My wife is begging me for some pictures of birds but I can't get very close to our feeder without them flying off. I have a tripod but the birds move so I'll need a faster shutter speed. I'd really like to catch one landing still in-flight which I think would be at least 1/250 needed. I could get the 55-300mm nikkor lens, rebuilt for about 219, but I'm concerned that the F/5.6 won't be fast enough to catch that. Do you have any opinions/suggestions?</p></blockquote><p></p>
