Camera Lens

[kathy65]

I am looking for recommendations on a zoom camera lens for a Nikon d3300. I would like to be able to do landscape photos.

What lens(es) do you have now, and what do you want it (them) to do that you're not able to do?

 

[kathy65]

I have the kit lens and 50mm 1.8
I want to be able to take pictures a fair distance away

 

[480sparky]

Any lens will work at a 'fair distance away' as they all will focus to infinity. Can I assume you mean you're looking for a telephoto?

 

[kathy65]

Yes correct a telephoto

Can you tell us your budget?

The tamron 70-300 USD vc is good for its price, pretty much on par with nikons 70-300 vr

If your budget allows, either the Tamrom 70-300 VC or Nikkor 70-300 VR. Otherwise, the Nikkor 55-200.

 

[Mr.Photo]

If your budget allows, either the Tamrom 70-300 VC or Nikkor 70-300 VR. Otherwise, the Nikkor 55-200.

I agree with this, but will add that if you go for the Nikon 55-200 get the "VR" version.

The consumer grade Tamron 70-300mm VC lens is not bad for the price.


Here an image taken with that lens (Canon version)
