me too need a 300 or 500mm lens I am stuck with 55-200 for a year now

I will buy a zoom lens of 300mm..suggest me some VFM lens on that....

 

[sujoyp]

Nikon -> Nikon AFS 55-200 VR - 12k
Nikkor AFS 55-300 VR - 18k
Nikkor AFS 70-300 VR - 25k

Canon -> Canon 55-250 IS - 15k
Canon 70-300 IS - 30k

U can use third party lenses like Tamron,Sigma ..They have micro motor soo focusing is slow...but they r cheap

Tamron 70-300 Di Ld - 7-8k
Sigma 70-300 DG - 7-8k
Sigma 70-300 APO DG - 10-11k (difficult to find)

i'd personally prefer the nikkor 70-300mm VR damn!!m craving for it after redaing the reviews and shots taken with it

I too loved my friends Nikkor 70-300VR ...its just way ahead of others...very sharp, very fast focussing, and good built...its also heavy and long (all features as compared to my 55-200 VR)
We can get a used one for 18k

I think you guys may find this interesting.

 

[sujoyp]

nice article sygeek .....

I think somehow photography is still related to personal creativity...anybody with a DSLR wont become a photographer instantly...

I am not at all creative, never was. I am still learning, lot to learn

 

[prabhu.wali]
