I bought a new lens with some Christmas money and savings
Here is how it works
Lens for Nikon D series digital SLR cameras70-300 mm F4-5.6 APO DG Macro Motorized Tele-zoom
This 70-300 mm lens is ideal for taking high quality photos over your camera's focal range.
This lens has three special low dispersion glass elements - two at the front and one at the rear - which reduce chromatic aberrations on long focal distances and create maximum colour balance over the entire range
Looks nice Beryl, look forward to seeing some results from it.:)
Yes. Thank you . Should be interesting :-snowball
Wow looks and sounds great Beryl, lucky you. Look forward to seeing your shots. :-cthumb:-cthumb
Thanks Babs. :-snowball
Some are already up :-santa1
New lens.
My APO Macro has failed and hopefully will be repaired under the warranty if it is a fault
Mean while I have bought this latest model of th Tamron Macro lens. Which will tide me over and also be handy should the APO lens go wrong in the future
