Nikon equivalent to Canon 75-300 IS USM?
Hi,
Is there an affordable lens similar to Canons 75-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM for the Nikon mount? The lens should either have image stabilization or offer larger apertures. I'm mainly interested in focal lengths not larger than 200mm, so a x-200m will also do. Thanks, Matthias

Nikon has the following VR lenses in the range you want. 70-200 f/2.8 AFS ED VR with 1.4x teleconvertor giving a 100-280 f/4 http://www.naturfotograf.com/AFS70-200VR_rev00.html http://www.camerahobby.com/Review-70-200mmVR.htm 80-400 f/4.5-f/5.6 AF ED VR http://www.naturfotograf.com/VR80_400_review.html http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/80400vr.htm Neither are very affordable. -- Jose Marques

Seems to be just what you need - it's an f2.8 lens with Vibration Reduction (Nikon's take on the Canon IS). Not cheap though.....

The 73-300 Canon lens is a "consumer" grade lens (I have one) and is
substantially less expensive than the Nikon lens that you mentioned. (although for good reason, including the speed) The Canon lens mentioned above can be had for less than $500 retail.

The fabulous Nikon F mount - that paragon of 1959 high tech makes it
pretty hard for Nikon to make IS lenses at all. Don't expect equivalents to Canon very soon. -- http://www.chapelhillnoir.com home of The Camera-ist's Manifesto The Improved Links Pages are at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/links/mlinks00.html A sample chapter from my novel "Haight-Ashbury" is at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/writ/hait/hatitl.html "Matthias" wrote in message ...
