What is the difference between these 2 camera lenses?

November 10, 2011 - 4:01 am 2 Comments

I just got a nikon D3100 camera and it came with 2 lenses:
18-55mm VR Zoom- NIKKOR
and
55-200 VR Zoom- NIKKOR

whats the difference between them and what instance would i use one and not the other?

Put each lens in turn onto the camera and look through the viewfinder whilst adjusting the zoom.

You will see that the 18-55 will let you fit wide views into the photo such as interiors and landscapes.
The 22-200 will bring distant objects closer.

The effect you see in the viewfinder will be the same in the photos

    it should be pretty obvious what you can and can’t do with those lenses.

    the 18-55 can be described as a wide angle-moderate telephoto, good for landscapes to head and shoulder portraits
    the 55-200 is a moderate telephoto-medium/large telephoto.

    I use my 55-200 for outside sports from the sidelines
