Hi,
I'm after some advice on lenses, I've got a Nikon D5300 which came with the standard kit lens (18-55mm).
I bought it mainly to take candid photos of the kids, dogs and scenery but I'm finding that it doesn't zoom in close enough so I have to crop loads off and lose the quality.
I am very new to all this and trying to learn as much I can online so I don't buy the wrong one but getting very bogged down with all the technical speak and hoped somebody could explain the numbers and letters relating to lenses simply and maybe point me to a decent lens for around £200.
I'd read on here about a 70-300mm lens so had a quick google and the prices varied from £80 to over £1000 and I have no idea why there's such a huge difference in price and worry that my £200 will buy a rubbish quality one that ends up never being used and I can't afford to make a bad choice.
Thanks in advance for any help.
