Fletch Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Finally bit the bullet and ordered a new lens for my camera. I'm happy with my 18-55mm kit lens that came with my D50, but I wanted a nice zoom without having to shell out a thousand bucks. I was going to go for the 18-200mm VR that Nikon put out this year, but those things have become so freaking popular there is a 6 month wait. So I decided to go for Nikon's new 70-300mm VR instead. It's a few hundred cheaper since it is intended to be a zoom lens and not replace the standard 18-70 range lenses, but it still retains all of the sexiness of the 18-200, including the wonderful vibration reducation (VR) feature that should make life better at 300mm without a tripod. Unfortunately this thing doesn't come out until October, so I can just stare at it's pretty picture. http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-70-300mm-4- ... lectronics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 how close can you bring objects with this and is it compatible with my eos350d? According to the specs, 4 feet, but it's not intended for macro use. And no it won't work with your camera. It's a Nikon lens. Nikon and Cannon don't play nice.
