Hi.
I have a Nikon D3300 and have been looking at Nikon 70-300mm and 55-200mm VR lenses, but with both there seem to be slightly different versions. Some say IF and others don’t.
I know the IF stands for Internal Focusing, but when researching the lenses it always seems to say the 70-300mm and 55-200mm have IF. When looking to buy, both come up under search results and you can’t always see if they have IF written on. Also, ones without IF written on boxes/manuals do sometimes have it written on part of the lens.
There is a price variation between the IF and non IF versions. Also, sometimes I see a review that mentions IF in the product title and it’ll have a negative point, but then I’ll see a review that doesn’t have IF in the product title, but says it has IF and is very positive.
I have seen both the 70-330mm and the 55-200mm recommended by people on forums, but they don’t usually give a full product title.
Is there a difference between the IF and non IF ones? Do they all have IF? Do I just go with whichever is cheapest and not worry whether it says IF or not?
Thanks.
