Hello to the photofourm community,
I would like some advice and opinions on Nikon lenses.
I am thinking of purchasing a mid-range DSLR possibly Nikon D5300. However, when researching which type lenses to choose from I have read that some Nikon lenses suffer from distortion? Furthermore, yesterday I happen to bump into an enthusiastic photographer who was shooting with his full-frame Canon camera. He also mentioned that he does not like to shoot with a Nikon due to distortion.
My questions are;
Many thanks for your thoughts.
Jay

My questions are;
- Do Nikon lenses have a reputation for distortion or is this a fault suffered by many different brand lenses; Canon etc?
- If Nikon lenses do suffer from distortion is this limited to a select range of lenses and which types?
- Is distortion a common feature in lenses hence why most DSLRs offer a distortion correction feature on their cameras.
- Finally, any opinions on the D5300 would be helpful? My budget is to spend up £750-800 on a new camera, a prime lens, zoom lens and if possible a wide lens.
Many thanks for your thoughts.
