Effective range would be 27-300mm on DX camera.
Congrats on your new photo career!
I would get the 18-200mm VR lense. Great all around lense. Earlier post suggested a VR1 over the VR2 due to lower price. I agree. I have both VR's and find that I keep my finger over the front of my lense shade at all times, while walking about. Why? Keeps lense from moving and more importantly, prevents anyone from stealing your lense off of the camera, while traveling in crowded sites. I know of folks who have had their lenses stolen of the camera without their being aware of it. If you don't need the extra tele reach, you will find either VR to be fine. I have in addition. a 12-24mm and a 10.5mm fisheye lense. I'm very happy with my trio on my D300 and D7100 cameras.
What is there not to like! Great study!!
Trump's vision is myopic, shallow and rather blurred!
What I see in your first image: Looking into the right window, I see what appears to be the shadow of a very large man with elongated arms. It is, in reality, the railings on both sides of a stairway leading to the second floor. Did I miss anything else?
Hi again Voss! Guess what-you ended up with EXACTLY the same image, as I saw it! Glad I could help. Regards, Stan
This is why photography is so great! Everyone sees differently and the beauty of it is that everyone is correct from their vantage point! I'm glad that you found some merit in my suggestion. Keep on clicking!
Hi Voss! Just saw your downloaded photo. Great shot! I offer the following suggestion, for your consideration: try cropping-off the area behind the girl's heel as it is wasted space and doesn't add anything to the image. With this done, you now show the young couple just entering the image. Next, crop the image top to the top of the door transom and bring it to the right as far as you like. I hope you don't my suggestion, as I belive you will end up with a stronger composition. Let me know what you think. Regards, Stan
Since the keyboard is "plug and Play", just turn your computer off, then disconnect the keyboard (or a mouse). Next turn the computer back on. Once your desktop comes back on, THEN, plug the keyboard back in. Your problem should be resolved!
