![]() ![]() The main use is for bird and nature photography but it should be said that a small bird is a small bird and getting the biggest lens won't automatically produce frame-filling shots. I think Nikon just introduced one to take on Sigma and Tamron but I'm not sure. A zoom going to 500 mm is a very big thing. A zoom going to 300 mm is good for larger animals and the zoo and birds such as ducks, swans, gulls that will come close. I use Canon not Nikon so I'm not sure of the Nikon line-up but if I was buying today I'd look for a 100-400 zoom as an all rounder good for the zoo, wildlife including larger birds, and general use. These days a zoom going to 400 mm can have a good performance. When I started the quality of telephoto zooms at their longest focal length and maximum aperture (which is where you are at for wildlife most of the time) was not so good so I bought a 300 F4 with x1.4 teleconverter to give me a 420 F5.6. The latter get very, very expensive as focal length increases. In broad terms you have rwo choices - zoom lenses or prime (fixed focsl length)lenses.
