"Jack of all"
5 of 5 found this helpful Camera: Nikon D3300
My credentials as a photographer:
i have none, but I am an enthusiastic amateur who occasionally gets "that shot" - usually by blind ass luck.
We just returned from an extended trip to Peru where we did the obligatory trip to Cuzco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. We also went low and east and did a river cruise on the headwaters of the Amazon.
Plenty of photo ops, but I seemed to always be caught with the wrong lens (choices were a 18-55mm and a 55-200mm) Close up and zoom opportunities abounded - often almost simultaneously. One of our group had a lens similar top this (after market brand, but same specs) and was able to take advantage of the full spectrum offered.
Although a little larger and heavier, if gives me the opportunity to ditch the camera bag, so it's a win/win for me.
Good package, but it contained some items that I absolutely could not figure out what the were for, and the sun hood was a terrible fit - it screwed on and the choices were either on or in your pocket. I ended up getting another "bayonet" type that is just fine, and can be inverted to snap on over the lens body when not needed.
All in all, I am very pleased.
