Will this lens work for baseball photography? as well does it work on a D3300?
Answered by NikonStaffThe 18-300 is an excellent choice to capture distant subjects with your D3300. Keep in mind that the aperture on the lens is variable. That means - the numbers quoted on the lens f/3.5-6.3 mean the fastest aperture you can get, when you have your lens zoomed to 300mm is f/6.3. That will be fine when you are in brighter lighting conditions, such as daylight. However, when the light is dimmer, just boost your ISO up to freeze the action!
WHAT IS THE DEFERENT BETWEEN CPU LENSES & NON-CPU LENSES
Answered by NikonStaffCPU lenses have a built-in Central Processing Unit (CPU). When a CPU lens is attached to a DSLR camera, metal contacts on the lens are used to communicate lens information and provide power and instructions to the lens from the camera. Non-CPU NIKKOR lenses refer to the early generations of NIKKOR lenses which were developed for Nikon film cameras, at that time photographers were manually controlling all the functions of the lens and camera to acquire optimal exposure and picture composition. Non-CPU lenses do not have contacts to communicate data to the camera to perform focusing and perform other calculations. Modern NIKKOR lenses, like this AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR Lens, are CPU lenses.
Will this work with my Z7 + adapter?
Answered by NikonStaffYes. The AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR Telephoto Zoom Lens will work on the Nikon Z7 Mirrorless Camera. Please be aware that this lens is optimized for DX Crop Sensor Cameras, because the Z7 is a FX Full Frame camera, the camera will automatically swap to the DX Crop mode in the Image Area setting.
Is this lens compatible with the Nikon D-850?
Answered by NikonStaffYes. the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR Telephoto Zoom lens is completely compatible with the Nikon D850 FX-format DSLR camera, however, because it is a DX-format lens you will experience a 1.5 crop in images when using it with the D850, which has an FX-format sensor. The AF-S 18-300mm is a versatile, lightweight lens that is ideal for wide-angle landscapes and group photos, beautiful bokeh portraits and extreme close-ups. It's an all-in-one, must-have lens for any growing camera bag.
Which is better for me The Nikon 18-300 or the 28-300? I do a lot of sports pictures but pick up a few small wedding inside churches too. I see the 28-300 says not good for low light but what is low light for say (inside a Church?)
Answered by NikonStaffBoth the AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR and AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR would be great additions to your camera bag and are capable of shooting weddings, portraits, sports events, and low light situations. You will want to keep in mind when deciding which lens to purchase that these are two different formats – the 28-300mm being an FX format lens and the 18-300mm being a DX format lens. An FX lens on a DX camera will result in a magnified image, referred to as the 1.5x crop factor. A DX lens on an FX camera may result in a vignette effect, which can be prevented by adjusting your Image Area settings in the camera to DX (24 x 15) 1.5x.
