Hi there! I see you were looking at the 18-200mm?
What questions can I help with on this lens?
Yes, I have a Nikon D5300 and wanted to verify this is a correct lens for that camera.
Jess H.
Fully compatible for you on the D5300
Any AF-S Nikon lenses will be exactly what you need on it :-)
What type of photography will you be doing with it?
It is my only camera besides my iPhone so I use it for almost everything but my favorite things are landscape, wildlife and night skies.
Jess H.
Ah, such a versatile lens for you! Definitely one to consider.
The kit lens that came with it is an 18-140 and I have taken very good care of it. Is there any possibility I could trade it in?
Jess H.
Trading in can be a great way to go.
Jess H.
Let me grab you the form to get started on that process
How quick is the process? I would really like to have the new lens by August 5.
Jess H.
I'd suggest giving the used team a call then, to expedite the process
They'll take good care of you :-)
Great! What other questions can I help with?
I guess that bundle is a good one.
Jess H.
The accessory bundles really are a great deal
A lot of the time they're the same price as the lens alone, so you're getting a great value
Are there any other lenses that I should consider before purchasing this one?
Jess H.
What price range are you wanting to stay in?
The 18-140mm is higher quality, but not as much zoom range
Actually, it is less in cost
but would be sharper on focus for you
I do think the 18-200 is going to give you that added versatility you're looking for
If I were to buy a lens specifically for night skies (stars) what would be something to consider.
Jess H.
I would recommend a wider angle, and one with a wider aperture as well.
Grabbing the link to one here
This is the one I'd go with
The f/2.8 lets you gather a ton of light for those night shots, and the 11-16mm zoom range is really nice and wide to get those sweeping sky views
Awesome. Let me read up on that some more. I appreciate your help today. Please tell your manager you are great and need a raise.
Jess H.
Ah, you are most welcome!
So glad I could help! If you have further questions? Feel free to chat back in anytime.
