I&#8217;m not sure if I will keep them forever, but it&#8217;s nice to know that I can sell them for more than I bought them for. The one I used for this photo was a <a href=http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/449088-USA\/Nikon_2161_AF_S_VR_Zoom_Nikkor.htmlBI\/8073\/KBID\/8609 target=_new>Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 70-300mm f\/4.5-5.6G IF-ED Telephoto Zoom Lens<\/a>. The lens is great for outdoor sports photography. However, it doesn&#8217;t fit in <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/2011\/05\/caselogic-slrc-205-slr-camera-sling-bag-backpack\/>my bag<\/a> (with the lens hood on anyway), and 70mm is too telephoto to make this lens at all versatile. The 300mm zoom isn&#8217;t that much of a difference from the telephoto end of my 18-200mm so I don&#8217;t see myself using this lens much. Still, it delivers nice sharpness and bokeh for scenes like the above. By the way, I took this photo at <a href=https:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/ashland\/2011\/04\/beach-volleyball-in-ashland\/>Garfield Park<\/a> in Ashland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I picked up a few lenses for my Nikon on Craigslist at a great price.
