Hi, not a Nikon user myself, but I've got a question for a friend. If anyone can help, much appreciated. I just know zero about Nikon glass:
I have a friend who has a Nikon and she wants to get off the kit lens just to have a little more flexibility. i don't know much about Nikon glass, or anything else. She's using, I believe, a d5100
I've been giving her pointers and basic as she was an auto shooter (which meant the camera was doing silly stuff like auto choosing ISO 3200). she isn't looking to go full pro or spend big bucks.
At the lower end I've noticed these two lenses as being affordable in Korea.
Tamron 18-200 Di-ii
Nikon AF-S DX 18-135
They're both slightly older, but I would guess the IQ on either of them would probably be better than the kit lens that is on their now, plus the added zoom would be helpful for her.
or another lens around that zoom that isn't pricey. Any thoughts?
