Hi all, I just purchased my first DSLR and decided on the Nikon D60 which came with the 18-55mm standard lens. I am pursuing Macro photography, and I am trying to decide on what lens to get, with my limited budget.
I am looking at the following 2 lenses:
Nikon Zoom Normal - Telephoto 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED AF-S VR DX
Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Autofocus
I am trying to keep the price below 250.00 if possibe, below 200.00 would be nice, but not likely realistic.
My previous experience is with the Minolta XG1, which I still have complete with 28mm, 50mm, 200mm zoom, 2x converter, macro filters, power winder, tripod, and power flash with diffusion filters.
Any feedback, comments, or recommendations on the above lenses, or any others which would be more appropriate (even if more expensive) would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Wayne
