Hi! I'm Dan. How are you? Did you have questions on Nikon lenses?
Yes, my computer froze. I amona missinfor the church Og Jesus Christ Of LatterDay saints in Nauvoo,Ill. My job is to capture actions photosfor the church facebook in Salt Lake City Utah. There fore I need a good far rng tele photolens
Daniel H.
that is great! what kind of subjects do you plan to take pictures of? people? landscape? sports?
If you were planning to use a camera in the 200 to 600mm lens do you have a monopod or tripod already? If not it would be something I strongly suggest (the thing poking out of the left if a mount system for tri/mono pods
People mostly from a far range some scenery wildlife
Daniel H.
okat-- that 200-500 mm lens would be an idea lens
what kind of Nikon camera will you be using?
Daniel H.
the lens you were looking at is intended for full frame sensors
a d70 is a crop (smaller) sensor
so let me see what kind of lens comperable to what you were looking
would be a good fit for you!
Daniel H.
sigma is a great alternative brand to nikon for lenses
also keep in mind a 333mm lens on a crop sensor will be equal to a 500 mm on a full frame
you multiple by 1.5 to get actual mm when using crop sensor cameras
55-300 would be 83mm to 450mm
okay -- you already have a very nice telephoto lens
would you want something that had more of a wide focus?
the one you suggest is very inexensiveand my other photographys are suggesting a more xpensive one
Daniel H.
they may not know you have a crop sensor camera
I alredy have the oneyou suggest
Daniel H.
you would need a $2000 camera to use that lens you were looking at properly.
like the Nikon D760 or D810
I was showing lenses that properly fit your camera sensor and mount options.
so there is no better lens FOR MY NIKON
Daniel H.
I will check for other brands :-)
for the crop sensor in a d70 .. checking other brands like Sony and Sigma.. Tokina, etc.. I see no other lenses
to get into a wider range of lenses you would need to invest in a full frame sensor like the Nikon D760
those full frame lenses were intended for cameras like the used D750 I posted above
