Thanks smythie!
I know it, only Af-s lenses will work on d3300.
Can you recommend a good telephoto lens for FX? I have 70-300 VR on my mind.

Canon has a professional 70-200 f/4 L lens, with metal body and superior optics, which sells for 500 euro.

Nikon doesn't have a lens like that, at this price.

Do I have a better choice than 70-300 VR at this price range?

I have heard about old Nikkor 80-200, but I dont know how good are those old lenses...

At that price and 300mm I don't know. I've got a 70-200/2.8 VR1 and a Sigma 120-300/2.8 OS (not the Sport version) and they both do a very good job. I can't speak to the Nikkor 70-300 VR from experience I'm sorry.

The old 80-200 AFD lenses are all still good optics though and can be gotten used in your price range

I just saw an used AF-D 80-200 f/2.8 for 450 euro, in my city. It is a good price.
70-300 VR looks interesting with its 100 mm extra and VR.
Well, I will choose one of those two. Thanks!


D3300 and 50 1.4G

Ken Rockwell has an interesting review of 28-300 VR.
He says this lens can replace all our lens, except fast primes, 50/1.4 or 50/1.8

IMO it is one of the most underrated lens in Nikons lineup. There has been so many times when I was flicking through a random Nikon flickr pools and I stop at a particular shot and say WOW! Only to find out it was this lens.

Not so sure as if I'd say it can replace "all" our lenses(except for primes) but it certainly can produce for a great walk around.

nice work with the 105 and landscapes

large crop on both, shot with the 200-500. Looks like this site still doesn't display this lens right.

I think when the forum changed over to the new format that eliminated a few, combine that with other sites popping up and becoming popular and the traffic here has thinned considerably since I joined several years ago.

I used to post much more often, lately in the Nikon lens threads but it seems that I'm the only one posting in the 200 f2 threads so I hang out over at fredmiranda with the other and more active Nikon shooters.

Actually even FM doesn't seem as active either. More than here sure but not from a year ago to now. Nikoncafe has really slowed down too.

Doesn't FM require some kind of special email address to join? I have 3 emails and FM wouldn't accept any of them for membership so I said fuggeddabottit.
