Probably asked a few times but wondered what the status was as of Jan 8th 2014 - today.
For my D3100 DX I was wondering which circa £300 lens offers reasonable - for the price - consumer performance.
I've heared the Nikkor 70-300 AF-S VR IF ED (FX) lens is good on a DX because all the edge of sensor issues are not so much of a problem when fitted to a DX and of course the max zoom goes upto 450mm , AF is super fast (better than the 55-300).
There are so many choices not only in Nikkor but 3rd pary.
Rather than refer me to the usual handful of reviews, has anyone on here actually tried several on a DX and if so which ones and what view did you come to?
If it helps, and this is where I recognise buying decisions are driven by requirements, my key requirements are:
1. Focus quickly on moving objects around 15 to 30cm high at around 50-100 metres away.
2. Not bothered about ability to produce large prints, A4 is more than big enough.
3. Not bothered too much about weight.
4. Budget of around £300 £350 max.
Appreciate your kind time.
