Hi all, I have a Nikon D5000 and i'm looking at this lens:

Nikon AF-S DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR lens

I want to shot landscape and wildlife, is it ok for this type of work ?

Thanks

Rita ;)
 
no
yes

landscapes are usually shot with wider lens than 55mm
do you have the kit lens.?...18-55mm I think...use the 18mm

i have a Sigma 17-70mm and find 17mm is as ''wide'' as i wish to go
there IS a superb UWA Tokina 11-16 ...too many ££ for me though...:thumbsdown:

300mm for wildlife is ok.....till you get the ''bug'' ....:lol:

PS ...been thinking about this lens too...had a 55-200 VR ..quite nice but 200mm didn't cut it

What bug LOL, Yes i have the 18-55 lens which came with the camera......so you thinks its a good enough lens for zoom ?

If we only have some money :(
 
I'm looking at the 70-300mm Nikon in the very near future - mainly because it offers more manual control.

Click to expand...

the 18-55mm kit lens is good ...get out and use it for landscapes

on a tripod
use an InfraRed remote shutter release ..about £13
so no camera shake
you have to go into the menu ''shooting mode''
 
I sometimes use the 18 in the vertical and make a Panorama.

i have the Sigma 10-20, this gives good results for reasonable money
 
Thanks for all the advice, i just need to practice a bit more........till next time thanks.
