I am looking at:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/449088-GREY/Nikon_2161_70_300mm_f_4_5_6G_AF_S_VR.html
Or
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/486717-USA/Nikon_2166_55_200mm_f_4_5_6G_ED_AF_S.html
I like that the 70-300mm has a metal attachment piece ( what do you call it?), and it does have 100mm more zoom, but I have heard that the lens works best from 70-200mm and then performence goes down after 200mm. If that is true than that would defeat the purpose of getting it? I am also wandering 70mm would not be low enough for doing a portrait shoot so maybe the 55-200mm may be a better way to go? I do not shoot wildlife that is very far but just find the 18-55mm to short for normal shooting. Also what sun hood would I get for the 55-200mm lens, 52mm?
Thanks
