Featured Wednesday, 16 January 2013 00:33

70-200mm 2.8 vs 55-200mm kit lens vs 70-210mm Exacta used MF lens.

Ranging from $3000 to $30, how will they compare in terms of image quality??

    HI Matt, I've been watching your videos for quite sometime now. And I'm A beginner in photography. 3weeks ago I bought a Nikon d7000. And I love shooting with it. I've been trying to get out of auto mode ever since I got my camera. Can you do A review on a 55-300mm lens of a nikon. I saw it with the brochure of the Nikon D7000. And they have 3 lenses that they used in their sample images. The nikkor 10-24mm F/3.5-4.5Ged, the 85mm F/3.5ged VR, and the 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6Ged VR. All of those lenses I bought with the camera. I would appreciate it if you do a review with it. Thanks And keep up the good work!

    From,
    Lester
