It seems i can push my nikon quite a ways! 200mm = 7.7 degrees = 20.1 ft 300mm = 5.1 degrees = 13.4 ft. Main advantage is extra reach, but only very slightly.
Any comparison shots of 200mm vs 300mm? Canon EF and EF
Or, at the same distance, things in the viewfinder look 50% bigger with the 300mm lens.
At 300mm, it is about 8 degrees.
That test was very close. So (at 50 yards) going from 200mm to 300mm only reduces this size of your frame by about 7ft, wheras going from 100 to 200 reduces it by 20ft. Tomorrow you will be able to preorder the new lens in us and europe stores. My primary love is wildlife/outdoor photography but living in downtown portland i've adapted a.
Da* 200mm f 2.8 vs da* 300mm f 4 i'm starting to save up for my first top notch expensive lens and i think i want to make it a long telephoto prime.
In other words, at 300mm, the image captures a narrower part of the scene compared to at 200mm. I wonder if the lenses are that different. To similar to what you have to justify the downsides (weight, cost, size). This may help explain your subjective impressions.
Choosing a great zoom lens can be quite a difficult decision.
At 300mm, it is about 8 degrees.in other words, at 300mm, the image captures a narrower part of the scene compared to at 200mm. The difference between 200mm and 300mm is not really that much when you compare. Of course having the ability to zoom from zero to infinity anytime is great to have. This will be for my 17 year old daughter that likes to take pictures and then play with them on photoshop.
Apart from the obvious that the 300mm will increase the image size in the frame by 50% the 300mm will be larger and heavier.the 300mm will normally have a larger minimum ficus distance and focus slower & a consumer zoom lens will have a slower maxumum aperture howver most prof.
2.) i'm not sure which lens you are considering. (~$450 to $1300) the first point does not matter. Another way to put it is that a scene that looks right at 200' with the 200mm lens will look right at 300' with the 300mm lens.
