What is a 18-105mm lens good for?

The compact, versatile AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is ideal for a broad range of shooting situations, from interiors and landscapes to beautiful portraits and intense action photography and videography.

What is 55 200mm lens used for?

Also known as a telephoto lens, the 55-200mm lens has an excellent focal length which lets you be as far away as you need to be from a dangerous subject. The superzoom end of the lens also lets you be as close to the scene without crossing over a restricted area, a basketball court or a football pitch perhaps.

Is the Nikon 55 200mm a good lens?

The Nikon 55-200mm VR is significantly better for hand-held shooting than non-VR tele lenses, including the non-VR 55-200mm, because the VR helps ensure sharp shots that otherwise are often blurred. VR is less important with normal lenses, and very important with telephoto lenses….

Is Nikon 18 105 a good lens?

To summarize, the 18-105mm provides excellent results for sharpness across all focal lengths and apertures below ƒ/22. Optimal performance is seen at ƒ/8, but the difference in quality between ƒ/8 and when the lens is used at its widest apertures shouldn’t stop you from using the lens however you wish.

What does an 18 105 lens mean?

An 18–105 mm lens has a zoom ratio of 5.8 (105/18) which is higher than 18–55 (~3) and 55–200 (~3.6). It is easier to manufacture lenses with lower zoom ratio, hence they are cheaper.

Which lens is better 18-55mm or 55-250mm?

You’ll probably find the 18-55 useful for most everyday use and the landscapes. The 55-250 is a telephoto, usually used for subjects at a distance (the soccer players, for example, or wildlife you can’t get close to).

How far can a 55-200mm lens zoom?

The AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II Lens has a focus range of 3.7 feet ( 1.1 m) through infinity at all focal lengths.

Is 200mm lens enough for wildlife?

Most people will feel that 200mm is a little shot for wildlife, but with practice and development of your stalking skills, especially when paired with an APS-C camera it’s a great place to start.

How much zoom does a 55 200mm lens have?

A 55-200 lens would have 200/55=> 3.63x zoom.

How far can a 55-250mm lens zoom?

At 250mm, the maximum magnification is 0.31x, which does not come into the true 1:1 macro range. The closest focusing distance is 1.1 metres. Neither a distance scale nor indicators for depth of field or infrared adjustment are provided. The lens is supplied with end caps but no lens hood.

How far does a 18-55mm lens zoom?

This is easy to work out from the focal range of the lens. An 18-55mm kit lens has 3x the focal length at 55mm as it does at 18mm. Magnification and focal length are directly related – they’re two sides of the same coin.

How far can a 55 250mm lens zoom?

Is the 18-105mm zoom lens a good lens?

Please try again later. Nikons’ 18-105mm zoom produces a very good image, but the rear plastic mount can’t be relied on to hold the lens in place, safely, all the time. I use other Nikon lenses with plastic mounts (Nikkor 35mm f1.8 & the NIikkor 18-55mm vr II) but they’re smaller and weigh a lot less.

Is the Nikon 55-200mm VR an AF-S lens?

(And again, recent versions of Photoshop make it fairly easy to correct even significant amounts of geometric distortion.) As befits a DX-series lens intended for use with the lower end of their camera line, the Nikon 55-200mm VR sports an internal focus motor, as evidenced by its AF-S designation.

Is the Nikon 18-200mm an AF-S lens?

As an AF-S lens, autofocus operation is quick and virtually silent. The 18-200mm will work on all Nikon camera bodies that support SWM (silent wave motor) lenses. Autofocus results can be overridden at any time by simply turning the focus ring.

What’s the difference between Nikon 18-55 and 18-105mm?

Nikon makes (las time I looked) four lenses in the 18-xxx series, 18-55 / 18-105 / 18-140 / 18-200. All are functionally similar. The reviews I’ve seen plus the DxO data base reports all to be nearly identical in optical performance except that the 18-105 is a smidgen better.
