I have to admit I like new toys, mainly technology related! So in readiness for our next jaunt in a few weeks time I’ve added a new lens to my collection. The lens in question is a AF-S DX NIKKOR 18–300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. As nikon say this lens is a powerful and versatile lens that performs in a broad range of situations – including wide-angle group shots, high-powered telephoto zooms, macros and more. Its incredible 16.7x zoom allows incredible reach amongst our zoom lenses optimised for DX-format cameras. Designed with state-of-the-art optical technology such as Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and Vibration Reduction, your photos and HD videos will feature breathtaking detail and definition at any distance.
All i know is that with a range of 18-300 I can hopefully get away with just ones lens in the bag for Cambodia! Less to carry measles chance of dust entering a lens or the camera when you swap them over..
At around 800g it is a bit weighty but that is balance by the versatility that it brings. Stay tunes for the results as Helen and I explore the magical place that is Cambodia.
15 days and counting!!!
Nice work Simon! Enjoy your trip
