Q: Is this lense cmpatible with d3100
A: Yes, it works very well. I purchased this in May and I am very impressed. My children's sports pictures are awesome -- great zoom!
Q: Is this lens compatible with the D40?
A: Yes it is! I have one for my D40, and it works perfectly!
Q: is this a good lens for baseball game action photos?
A: This lens is definatley good for sporting events, especially if your camera has a high number of mega pixels. That way, you can crop off your final images and still have clean & crisp results afterwords. I've taken hundreds of photos at White Sox games, and my results have been stunning. I even won an award for one of them!
Q: Which lens is a better buy?
A: I love the 55-300 and has mostly made my 55-200 obsolete. It's a little heavier but the zoom is really worth it.
Q: Will this lens fit the D3000?
A: yes
Q: What can the 55-300 lens do that the 55-200 can not.
A: Both lens are good, but the 300 brings in images much much closer, clearer and sharper.
Q: Best Zoom lens to purchase?
A: If you purchase the 55-300mm lens you will get more Wide-angle and zoom range than the 70-300mm lens. It's main difference was far it could shift the lens-shift element. VR I only provided three stops compensation and VR II provides Four.
Q: Compatibility with the D5200
A: Yes this lens is compatible with the D5200.
