I have 2 DX lenses for my Nikon D5000 now. They are AF-S Nikkor 18-55 3.5-5.6 and AF-S Nikkor 55-200 4-5.6. Is there a reason to buy the 18-200?

i found its a better piece of glass and you will only need one lens for all scenarios. I was constantly switching from one kit lens to the other, now I ack one lens and im good to go in most scenarios. I sold my kit lenses and got a nice 50m 1.8 for portraits and use this 18-200 for all other instances.

I used to have those 2 lenses and moving to a single 18-200mm gave me a whole new experience in photography. No more spending times switching lenses on-the-go, which saves me from missing shots and protects the camera a little further (in case you would need to switch lenses outside, like in a beach or something -- my case).

No, of course not. I have the lenses 18-55 and 18-200. I choose to buy a lens 18-200 instead of the 55-200 to avoid the lens changing. But in your case you don't need to buy this lens.

Before I bought my 18-200, I was often disappointed that I'd miss that great shot because I had the exact wrong lens on my camera (If I had the 18-55, I'd inevitably see something moving in the distance that I'd wanted to shoot,etc..). By the time I'd switched, the opportunity was often gone. The 18-200 meant less missed shots.

I really like the 18-140. I also have the 55-300. At the time I was researching to purchase a new lens the 18-140 appeared to be the better choice. I went to the Nikon site and did a comparison between the 18-140, 18-200, and 18-300. The 18-140 was new, with the newer technology, lighter, and cheaper. For me, 18-140 focus quickly and it has the range I use most. I usually keep the 55-300 with me, so I'm covered in most situations.

NO. You will want the 35mm f/1.8 DX lens, which is the exact DX equivalent to this lens.Link: Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras

I own both. Bought one of first 18-200s made in Japan to go with my first dslr: D50 that I got for a trip to the Bahamas. Have wonderful images I still enjoy. Now have lightweight D5000 and super D7000. Bought 18-140 for light weight to hike w/D5000. Use 28-200 w/D7000 otherwise. Both focus quickly, iq is similar. Both have VR but 200 has active mode for shooting while moving, which I love. So 140 wins on weight, price, while 200 adds focal length and versatile VR.

If you are going to stick with a DX sensor Nikon for a while, then I think the 18-300mm is your best value. The image quality is going to be very comparable to the 28-300mm, plus the 18-300 has these advantages for the DX shooter: - It starts at 18mm, so you have much wider coverage for landscape shots or tight spaces - It's smaller and lighter. Since this is going to be an all-purpose travel lens, this will be very helpful - It's about $150 less - If you ever go up to FX / full-frame, you can always sell this lens down the road and recoup about 65-75% of the original cost Enjoy!

Yes. But it was so easy for you to find out. Google "D5000 lens compatibility" and you get this page: http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/dslr/d5000/compatibility.htm The lens is a AF-S sense and fully compatible with D5000

The Tamron 200-500mm lens does not have the autofocus motor built into the lens itself, and therefore cannot autofocus on your D5000. All the small-body Nikons in the D40 family (D40X, D60, D3000, D5000) lack the autofocus motor in the camera body which earlier (and substantially larger) Nikon DSLRs had. The absence of this AF motor and some other features is what keeps the D40 family cameras relatively small, light and inexpensive. Since all new Nikon lens designs since about 2003 have been AF-S type (with AF motor built into the lens) Nikon felt it was unnecessary to keep putting an AF motor in the body as well, since that motor would never be used anyway when the newer type lenses were mounted. However, third-party lens makers such as Tokina and Tamron still marketed a lot of Nikon-mount lenses without the built-in motor. Your 200-500mm is one of them. Tamron as a matter of fact has been catching up by putting AF motors in their newer lens designs, and redesigning some older models with built-in motor, but unfortunately they have not yet made this change in the 200-500. Your Tamron 200-500 should autofocus just fine on any of the other Nikons that still have the AF motor in the camera body (D50, D70, D80, D90, etc., etc., etc.).

Both 18-55mm and 55-250 mm lenses from Nikon have a filter size of 58mm and all these filters are 58mm, so you can use them without any issues. You can even use them with lenses of other filter sizes by employing the step-up and step-down rings (cost $5-10). However, personally, I would recommend not getting these filters and get the desired effect using filters and gradients in Photoshop.Hope this helps !!

You can use the 67mm on the 200-300 zoom lens, I believe. Those lens fit the D series Nikon. The 18-55mm lens uses the 52mm filter. My Nikon is a D3000 and I researched this lens set quite a bit before finalizing my decision. So, keep in mind: 52mm filter for an 18-55mm lens; 67mm for the 55-200mm and the 70-300mm, both zoom lenses. If you question it, just ask the same question you posted here on Google and you will find your answer!!

The IQ of the Tamron lens is typical of super-zooms, that is, a compromise at all focal lengths. The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 16-85 is generally well-regarded and is probably sharper over much or all of its range. I would recommend adding the Tamron to your kit for its unbeatable versatility but keep the Nikkor for its better optics.

When a Nikon lens has a DX designation, that means it's their smaller digital format. There will be a crop factor if you use this lens on a full frame body.

I have had the 18 to 200. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that lens. If you're predisposed towards it, I won't try to talk you out of it, BUT . . I really like the 18 to 140 on my daily carry D5200. Fits the job and fits my hands. VERY sharp with great contrast and saturation. BTW, my fair, civic gathering lens in my D300s is almost always the 18 to 300, so ya makes your choice and you take your chances. IMHO, as long as it says "Nikon" on, you can't go wrong. Pick one.

I have the D5100 with the AF-S NIKKOR 18-55m 1:3.5-5.6G lens. I find it to be a little tight going on/off but it fits well.

I have a Nikon D70s and I purchased the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D lens. I can shoot in f/22 only every other f/ tells me FEE. What is going on? The lens did not come with troubleshoot mode and it says the Nikon D70s is compatible. I'm lost :( Help anyone? Thanks!

From what I see on Nikon's website, the 28-300 is a FX lens while the 18-300 is a DX lens. If you have a FX (full frame size sensor like D3, D600, D800) camera, you should buy the 28-300. You'd have to use the camera in crop mode if you mounted the 18-300. If you have a DX camera (D3100, D5200, D7100), you should buy the 18-300.
