300mm lens are used to photograph stuff that is far away. Over the summer i picked up a 300mm tameron lens from a guy off CL . he had the nikon mount for it too. I do a lot of birding when its warm so that 3oomm lens was a real help. Before that i was birding with a 105mm
Would you say that the zoom is significant?
Do you know how the mm applies to a macro lens? Like if it's a 50mm macro, does that just mean how zoomed in it will be for up close pictures?
