I previously had a Nikkor 18-55 and a Nikkor 55-200.
Due to lack of space on the road and to the constant change of objective
to save, I've done this to me Nikkor.
However, I got it for 350 Euro, so wait at the best yet
By buying on Amazon or look elsewhere.
Was the starting price of 629 euro / is absolutely unjustified.
So what do you get:
- Valent lens with gasket and metal bayonet (the 55-200 Plastic clunker did not work)
- In my opinion, much better picture than the 18-105 (although apparently
compared only 2 lenses are more to come)
- No accessories, only the bare lens
- No focus distance scale on the lens in place, I can completely get over with a push,
at a fixed focal length, it would be the co-criterion for the lens
- The Wollmlichsau in travel zoom range
I run the lens on a Nikon D5100, although it apparently as a kit lens for a D7100 / D5300
is intended. As long as the price remains so, it will never prevail as kit lens well.
My Advice:
Only during the day or take pictures with flash,
NOT a travel zoom lens from Nikon DX on base can with low-light
Environments deal, for the aperture of 3.5-5.6 is not enough simply.
Who really wide-range Zomm PLUS would like to have light intensity should be in the direction of "Nikkor 24-70mm"
orientate (current price: from 1300 to 1400 euros, but no pure DX, therefore focal technically "longer")
or equal to switch to full-frame.
Comments, the most critical are always welcome ...
