Nikkor 70 200 2 8 or 80 200 2 8 is better

The small steel cannon sounds loud because it came out relatively early, and it is now the third generation. The reason why the first generation is called a small steel cannon is probably because the telephoto lens at that time was still push-pull zoom, and the action during zoom was more like loading **, so it was called a steel cannon. In addition, Nikon has a large steel cannon with an ultrasonic motor.

The small bamboo cannon 70-200 is something that Nikon has only developed over the years, although the call for renewal is very high, but it is still the top lens in this focal length, and I personally think it is better than IS Xiaobai, Sigma Xiaohei, and Tamron dragon. It represents not only Nikon's top-notch lens manufacturing technology, but also the rigorous and refined characteristics of Japanese industry. Because the appearance is more like a stick insect, it is called a small bamboo cannon.

In terms of imaging,Both are very good,Resolution、Sharpness is above Canon Xiaobai,Personally, I think the small bamboo cannon is better than the small steel cannon in terms of transparency,The resolution seems to be higher。 In addition, due to the AF-S, the focusing speed of the small bamboo cannon is definitely much stronger than that of 80-200, and the ultrasonic motor is more power-efficient than the direct drive of the fuselage, and the fast focusing speed has no obvious advantage in shooting landscapes, but in street sweeping and shooting, bird hunting and sports photography, the advantage is too great. Not to mention that the small bamboo cannon also has VR, and the weight of the lens is smaller than that of the small steel, so the advantages of portability and handheld shooting are obvious.

There is also the tripod ring of the small steel cannon is easy to break, the tripod interface design of the 70-200 is better, but the operation disk of the 70-200 is also easy to break. This is a disadvantage of both lenses. Satisfied.

It doesn't matter what it's called... The small bamboo cannon is an upgraded product of the small steel cannon, with VR anti-shake·· 10mm more on focal length·· There are also improvements in technology... You get what you pay for·· The little steel cannon won't let you down... It depends on your budget and whether your actual needs are necessary

If I had to choose one or the other, I would recommend 18-200 for a reason that is directly related to the fact that I don't recommend these two lenses. I've personally used the 18-200 for five years, and my personal feeling is that if you care more about image quality, such as sharpness, bokeh, color, etc., the focal length of 18-200 above 100mm is useless. The lens excels in sharpness and color in full sunlight, with a bokeh of around 18-70.

As the focal length continues to increase, acutance drops are noticeable, as the sharp drop in aperture issues bokeh are also average. If you're shooting on a cloudy day or indoors, color performance will be poor, sharpness will be much lower, and the issue of a small aperture will also cause motion blur due to long shutter speeds. Given that the 18-300 is an enhanced version of the 18-200 in terms of form and parameters, I believe these issues must be bothering the 18-300

If you don't want to be a photography enthusiast, just an average family user who wants to buy a camera and a lens to shoot daily life photos, 18-200 has both wide angle and telephoto, first-class image quality in the set lens, 10x zoom is indeed a good choice, but in view of the poor performance of the telephoto end, there is no need to spend more money to buy 18-300The money saved can be used to buy a common focal length and large aperture prime like 35 50, and it will be very powerful to shoot close-ups of people and still lifes**. You can search for some samples on the Internet and take a look.

If you want to learn photography and shoot excellent work, this kind of large zoom set lens can only be regarded as a transition, there is no need to spend a lot of money on it, and a cheap lens with a certain telephoto like 18-140 is a better choice. Later you can get into a professional portable telephoto lens 70-300, 70-200 f4If you focus on the portrait, you can choose 70-200

1.The Nikkor AF-S VR 70-300mm F IF-ED lens is nicknamed the Little Donkey Cannon of the Angry Little Steel Cannon, and more users like to call it XLP (Little Wife). The vibration reduction function of the VR II can meet the needs of handheld shooting for most of the time, and the image quality of the 70--200mm interfocal length is not inferior to that of any of Nikon's gold-circle telephoto zoom heads, and the control of the loss of light in the four corners is a grade like that of a bamboo cannon.

The only drawback is that the aperture is a little smaller, otherwise there would be no reason for the existence of the Nikon Small Steel Key Zen Cannon. It is the most cost-effective mid-telephoto zoom lens.

2.The Nikkor AF-S DX 18-200mm F ED VR II lens is solidly constructed, with 2 pieces of ED glass and 3 pieces of aspherical glass effectively preventing chromatic dispersion and chromatic aberration, and making the image quality clearer and sharper. It can be used for portrait shooting, but also for long-distance shooting of landscapes; The VR II's stabilization is excellent. It basically meets the needs of various occasions, the imaging is good, and it is the best one among all brands of 18-200mm lenses. The disadvantage is that the zoom ratio is too large, the picture distortion control at both ends is poor, and the cost performance is not the highest.

3.The Nikkor AF-S DX 55-300mm F ED VR is mediocre except for good stabilization.
