Which lens to buy for my DSLR?
I have a Nikon D 5100. After a bit of photography with the kit lens I have started looking out for zoom lenses and have zeroed onto two lenses, both Tamron. What i am wondering is should i go for a dedicated zoom lens 70-300 mm or should i go for a more all purpose lens 18-270 mm. The reviews of both suggest that both are good, the 70-300 mm is cheaper ($400 after mail in rebate) while the 18-270 mm is for $500 (after mail in rebate). The reviews also indicate that the 70-300 mm is a little better in terms of border and centre sharpness and also better with chromatic aberration. But the advantage of the 18-270 mm lens is that you just need to carry one lens. What is your opinion on this? Is it worth sacrificing a bit of quality for ease of use (no changing of lens)?
2 AnswersCameras1 decade agoLens for Nikon D 5100 camera?
I have just bought a Nikon D 5100 camera. I am now looking to buy a telephoto lens for the same. I wanted to know which would be the ideal lens for taking wildlife photographs and photographs of my children.
Do i need to buy Nikor lenses only or do other lenses work OK?
How important is the auto-focus being inbuilt in the lens. As my camera does not have a AF motor on the camera, it needs to be on the lens. So is an AF motor necessary on the lens?
