ok, now that I have had my stuff for a couple months .....and taken more than a few shots..... I have decided I should have purchased the 55-300 instead of the 55-200 that I bought with my D5100.
I see a few options.... and these also take into my budget....
1 keep what I have and pick up a 300 or 400 fixed fl manual focus lens, likely least expensive
2 pick up the 55-300...... What do I do with the 55-200? Suspect sell it as I do not see the needto keep both as related to the overlap in range and likely similar build quality.
3 pick up the 70-300....... probably should also sell the 55-200... Curious here, is the 70 that much better than the 55? Looking at specs between the 2 I do not see the difference...
Really looking for why or whynot on either choice and between 2 & 3,would there be a reason to keep the 55-200?
Also, is the 70-300 that much better than 55-300 & why? Its about 110 more than the 55.
Thanks for opinions & experiences.
