I have a quick question for all ..
Back when I use to shoot 35mm film, I had a 70-210mm lens that I loved. I shot everything with this lens and it .. just about .. never came off the camera!
Now that I have the D5200 DSLR camera, I was looking for a different lens from the one that came with it ( 18-55mm ), I was also discussing my 70-210mm. At the time, the salesman told me that 210mm is just about equivalent to 135mm in a digital DX lens; my now 70-300mm. I do find that I am constantly switching lenses between my 18-55mm and my 70-30mm.
In 'today's standards' what lens would be equivalent to my old 70-210mm?
Maybe the "AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR" or the "AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED"
Thanks for any input and/or advice ..
