Hello. I am new to the forum today and I am only two months in to DSLR and photography. I have a D3300 with the AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G lens. I really don’t understand all the numbers as yet. But I know that I want a lens that will bring my subject closer.
My question is, which Nikon telephoto lenses could I buy? Maybe I should reword ‘telephoto’ to ‘zoom’? Do I generally want such a lens that has the prefix AF? And, do I need to be aware of the lens mount diameter that will fit the D3300?
If someone could reply along the lines of, “You could choose an AF-xxx or an A?-xxx lens,” I would be grateful.
I suppose I should also ask, from a novice point of view and one who does not anticipate making photography more than a fun past time, should I consider non-Nikon brand lenses in order to save money?
Thank you.
