Old Crank

Thinking of a new lense. [View all]

I have an older Nikon 5200 DX. Current lense is an 18-105 3.5-5.6 zoom.
Thinking this might get me better distance without losing any speed and teh used cost isn't too much. There aren't many options for faster glass for the DX cameras. Not sure I can justify a new body and lense to go full sized.

Any one with experience with this lense? It will be a bit larger and heavier than the old lense.

I used a Coolpix P510 for some 10 years or more, and it still works great. 24-1000mm equivalent. usonian Nov 19 #1
