Hello all!
I'm recently bought a Nikon D40 and now I cought the photograpy but. I'm reading books, etc trying to learn the most I can. I've learned a good amount but still confused about lenses. I have the one that came standard with the camera 18-55 mm... but i want to get a telephoto lens. I was looking at two different ones but can't find the difference. One is cheaper than the other. Could someone tell me the difference between the following:
Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX
Nikon 55-200mm f4-5.6G ED AF-S DX.
Is there a big difference between them... Is it work the extra money?
Last question. I was looking into a Tamron AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Zoom Lens.
Is it better to stick with the Nikon rather than the Tamron. The Tamron has 300mm compaired to 200mm for about the same price. Is the quality the same?
I guess the biggest thing is how much I can zoom in on objects. Does that 300mm really make a differance?
The Tamrom lens says it's good for Macro images, but won't the other nikons work for Macro also because of there zoom? I was told that macro was just andother word for basically a close up? That's probably wrong right.
Sorry for the long post
