How to choose a zoom lens for Nikon D40?
If you want versatile and cheap lenses i would reccomend getting 18-200 mm f 3.5-5.6, 18 millimeters enable you to take photograps at really close range and 200 mm means that you’ll be able to shoot some pretty amazing portraits and even some sport photography. If you already have wide lense then you could buy 55-200 which swaps price for lens wideness (it’s about $200 right now on amazon) If you want 17-200 mm lense but wont pay for Nikon check this – http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-18-200mm-3-5-6-3-Digital-Cameras/dp/B0007U0GZC/ref=pd_bbs_6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1195925785&sr=8-6 Sigma’s 18-200 lenses come with great discount (they cost $200) but will cost you a one step lower f size at 200 mm zoom (which you would need if you intend to work in poorly lit environment) These lenses (55-200 mm)
