Difference between these lenses?
I'm going to get nikon d3100 dslr cam but what's the difference between these two lenses? --nikon 30- 700mm and nikon 85mm
Added (1). I mean 55-200mm
Well there's NO Nikkor 30-700 mm lens
There's a AF-S 70-300 mm VR lens used to shoot action, sports and some wildlife
The 85 mm is used on full frame dSLR's as a portrait lens. Too long for your D3100
Here is a link that shows what various lenses see
Zoom lens like 70-300 or 55-200 are very different than 85mm.
they are for capturing objects far away.
85mm are usually a chosen lens for portraits. Its not wide not normal just a bit of tele, but short enough to be portrait ideal lens.
If you don't know, you aren't ready for a DSLR.
