Hi All!
Well i got myself a D5100 earlier this year bundled with a 18-55mm..
Now am really itching for a decent zoom lens..
I really have my eyes set on the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Lens... but a few people's comments on the net about the AF being too slow is holding me back...
I also checked out the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED (4.3x) Lens but don't see too much of a difference considering the price diff, am i wrong?
As i said, i just started off, never had a camera before, but since i have had the D5100 i don't seem to find much time for anything else
I don't think i would be out photographing action sports and stuff, but definitely nature & wildlife and of course the sky
i know i won't get anywhere close with either of these lenses, but i guess that's about how much i can afford for the moment.
Please advice if this lens (55-300) is recommended & what would i be missing out on in comparison.
If also you have any other lenses in mind, please do let me know!
Thanks a bunch
