Lenses for D90 for a holiday?
A little help please… I need to know which is the best lens for a holiday trip. A 18-105mm, 18-200mm and a 70-300mm VR lens. All are by nikon. Can anyone please recommend me the best out of these 3 lenses in terms of usage?
Thanks.
Added (1). Ok. Thanks to all the suggestions below, I've narrowed down to 2 lenses. 18-200 and 70-300. Any other good points on any of these 2 lenses? Is the 18-200 lens zoom as good as the 70-300?
The Nikkor 18-200mm VR is considered to be the very best superzoom lens by far right now. The 18-105mm would be my second choice if i had to pick between them. I wouldn't even consider the 70-300mm unless the trip is a safari with lots of wildlife - not having a wide angle end is a total dealbreaker for me if i have to stick to a single lens.
Hi
this is a difficult question to answer due to the type of things you may want to take pictures of.
for distance views or scenery a 70-300 would be a good idea, but if it's for groups and inside then the 18-105 would be better.
and of course the 18-200 does cover both so it comes down to what is what you want to do really
that is why i have a wider range of lenses and actually own a standard 50mm lens as well.
what i'm now looking for is the 500 mm telephoto and some extension tubes for the photographing of flowers close up.
If you already have the 18-55mm lens, that should be enough. You will be using the 18mm end most of the time to shoot wide expanses of scenery like whole churches and bridges. If you see yourself taking detailed shots of gargoyles up on the church roof you may want to get the 70-300mm lens.
If you don't have any lens yet or you only want to bring one lens then go for the 18-200mm to cover both wide angle and super-telephoto.
