I bought a d7000 kit along with this lens. The difference for a carcass and a whale was about 5,000. Of course, 50mm is better than fixed, 18 wide, and 105 telephoto, but as long as you save money and understand what you need, it will allow you to take very good photos. Judging by the reviews, there are not very high-quality copies - check. If you need something of a higher quality, and you donβt need such a range of fr, then look towards the tamron 17-50 2.8 without a stub (about 13t. R.). He has a wider hole, with a stub he costs about 19t. R. In general, an excellent lens, a lot depends on the specimen and on the hands) To be sure, look at the photos with tags on .
