Did it!! 55-300 ordered

After much study and reading posts about 55-300 vs 70-300, I just ordered a 55-300 for my D90. Thought I'd stay with DX lenses. Next step - probably teleconverter. Thanks everyone for your helpful posts.

bill i think the converter doesn't work with the 55-300 but it will with the 70-300, if i had of known that when i bought my 55-300 it would have changed my mind.

The 55-300 is a great lens, just got lots of great shots yesterday

its my walkaround on weekdays now as i look for things to shoot at on my lunch break.

Congrats on the new lens Bill! I hope you have a blast with it!

Just googled nikon teleconverter - neither the 55-300 nor the 70-300 listed as compatible to teleconverter and nikon says it would damage the lens due contact between lenses. So, for the money, I'll probably save for a newer camera.

The 55-300mm is a great lens especially for the price. I have no intention of replacing it for the time being.

Not recommending it because of IQ loss and speed loss buts its possible one of the Kenko converters may fit,its often only Nikon TCs that have a problem,this post is for info only before some one jumps on me

You'll love the 55-300, I bought mine a few years ago, all the images i've took with mine on the D90 are super sharp ...

Nikkor AF 55-300 VR should crop fine with a D90. I'd skip the kenko and crop as desired. That combo should do a nice job!
