Which nikon lens to buy?
I want to purchase nikon d5300 but not able to decide which lens to buy 18-55 or 18-140, I'm purchasing dslr for 1st time and new to it, so please suggest me which lens should I buy and I don't click far focus things, I just click normal pictures and it would be great if you could tell me what is the difference between these 2 lens as in which scenario both lens are used
The difference in use is zoom range.
In approximate terms:
At 55mm standing 10feet from a person you will get head to toes in the shot.
At 140mmm standing 10 feet from the person you will get head only.
The 18-140 will do everything the 18-55 will do and more besides. If you can afford it go for the 18-140.
Only downside - it will be bigger and heavier than the 18-55
My choice is the 18-55mm WHY? I took a class on photo correction where the instructor invited people to bring in their camera for the second class. There was this (small framed girl) who had a Canon DSLR out-fitted with a 18-135mm lens. The whole outfit said to me.TOO BIG! TOO HEAVY TO CARRY AROUND!
For my outfit I added the 50-200mm lens which is about the same physical size as the 18-55mm lens. As a result I'm a happy camper!
The difference between the two lenses is that the 18-140mm has more magnification as well as weight, which I have already discussed.
The scenario is simple, When your subject is not close enough and you need more magnification you change lenses and add the 50-200mm or what ever is the next size in the Nikon brand.
