Had a few hours on the viewing area on Saturday mainly to trial a new lens for my Nikon D5200 camera, a 18-300 zoom. The results were a little disapointing & I sent the lens back today, the lens suffers from vignetting around 300mm zoom and the focus is not very good at the edges.
Anyway 7 new into the book so not a bad day

Nice shots Graham, what make was the lens that you weren't happy with ?

[gtf4j2m]

It was a Nikkor AF-S DX 18-300mm f3.5-6.3 ED VR. Some of the reviews I read said good things about it, but I wasn't happy, the vignetting meant I had to crop more than I wanted. The shot of OY-KFL still has a little bit of dark on the right side and that was taken at full zoom, then cropped. Wife says that I am a perfectionist.
So it's back to the 18-105 & 70-300mm, both Nikkor & very good. I also use a Panasonic Lumix FZ-200 from which I have good results, many of which I have used on here.
