Description:

Condition: New

I am new to photography, bought this and dont really know how to use it. Im hoping to swap for a lense that is easier to use but better than the standard lense that came with my camera..
or i will sell it for €100.?

I paid €120 for it, it is a cheap lense so im not looking for anything expensive.

Its an Option brand lens, not plastic but good sturdy metal (if that makes a difference) and bought of ebay.

Cathal Devlin asked a question 20/08/2011 7:46 am (9 months ago):

Hi, why can't you use the lens? One lens is the same as the next!
Your problem might be that you say that it is a Nikon Lens and in the photo your camera appears to be a Canon

Crafty-Chel says 20/08/2011 1:46 pm (9 months ago):

sorry for the confusion, the picture is not of my camera, i just used this one to show what the lens looked like... I have a nikon d3100 and the lens is Optons..

The reason i cant use it is because the camera has to be in manual mode and i cannot figure out how to use the camera in manual mode, im still learning how to use it in auto... I basically bought the lens knowing nothing about it, saw the size and the price n thought it would be great.. Im running before i can walk.

Thanks for the reply :-)

marcb3000 asked a question 20/08/2011 5:05 pm (9 months ago):

I have not interest on that but if you want to check for a good lens without expending great amounts of money check my adv. http://www.adverts.ie/786668

Crafty-Chel says 20/08/2011 7:38 pm (9 months ago):

@ButtyB - i dont know much about lenses so can you tell me, if i put this on my camera can i use any setting ie: auto, landscape ect? also do you have anywhere any photos that you have taken with it and examples for how far it zooms in.. (sory if im not making sense) also how much is a little cash? can you maybe email me some pic's if i send you on my email?

Thanks

@ Marcb3000 - the lens i have already is 18-55mm. but i will defo think about it if i dont get a swap.. Thanks

marcb3000 asked a question 20/08/2011 7:44 pm (9 months ago):

Crafty-Chel says 20/08/2011 7:45 pm (9 months ago):

ciencin asked a question 04/09/2011 12:59 am (8 months ago):

have this exact same lens and must say its a great lens for its price. Very well built and especially good for wildlife photography when you're on a tight budget.

bourneultimacy asked a question 04/09/2011 2:16 pm (8 months ago):

What lens do you already have and what lens are you looking for.
I can offer €70 on this but you may get a better deal by swapping a lens.

Crafty-Chel says 04/09/2011 2:27 pm (8 months ago):

Thanks Ciencin..

@Bourneultimacy - i have a 18-55mm and looking for a 18-200mm... Its brand new so 100 is a good price, thanks for the offer tho..

fox007 asked a question 12/09/2011 10:55 am (8 months ago):

Hi have a look through my ads I have several lens for sale 70-300 18-35 etc etc all original Nikon parts.Will that lens auto focus on your d3000 is that your trouble it won't auto focus for you?

Crafty-Chel says 12/09/2011 2:07 pm (8 months ago):

Im not sure if it auto focus... I think it only works on the manual setting and i just cant use it.. are you looking to swap one of your lenses? i can only see in your ad's the 70-300m lens..does that lens work on all of the settings, auto ect??

Crafty-Chel says 22/09/2011 11:14 pm (8 months ago):

Got the lense i wanted so i would like to swap this for a good camera bag.. Something that would hold a few lenses and a flash... Anyone got anything like this??

nikonianman asked a question 23/09/2011 9:41 am (8 months ago):

I can offer a Lowepro AW202 or a Paull (almost like Lowepro aw102).
Both backpack type.
I have a few more and need to let one or two go.
And need a lens like this.
