wow, who would have thought it would be this difficult to pick. I have spent hours going through the forum just looking at everyones questions and responses about which lense is best.
I have a d3100 w 55mm kit lens and 55-200 DX VR. the 200mm just doesn't quite get the reach I want. I want to keep the 55 & 200 so I have choices for specific things. I do find myself changing back and forth alot, and I would like to get a 300mm that avoids having to change so much rather than increase to swapping 3 lense around. not to mention I just hate it when I'm out taking pictures of the pooch acting stupid when a hawk flies overhead and all I get is something that looks like a bug.
I had thoght about getting a nikon 28-300, but alot of people here seem to prefer the 70-300. I'm getting confused about how to know which lens will increase range b/c of being DX vs FX.
Is that why it would be better? Is there another 300mm that would better fit what I'm rambling on about ?
