My daughter has a Nikon D3400 with the 18-55 lens and 70-300 lens kit. She takes amazing photos of her boys with it, but barely uses the 18-55 lens. I was thinking of a holiday gift of the 18-140? Would like to get a low aperture, but boy does the price increase when you do this! Any thoughts on a lens upgrade would be appreciated. Personally, I only stick with Nikon lenses, but I know there are other good ones out there. Thanks!
The 18-140mm has gotten good reviews, it covers a large range, and the price is reasonable. Yes, the price, size, and weight increase as a lens is designed to gather more light. Raising the ISO and using the pop-up flash can save you a lot of money.
