New lens! :D

Eee - new lens! Just wanted to share I finally bit the bullet, and bought a cheapo runaround zoom lens. So far the quality's not too bad - about what I expected for a lens that was only €120. It'll do me for a runaround lens for when I don't want to use the Bigma - and I need one since the Tamron died!

It's a Nikon 70-300mm AF f/4-5.6G, and I know it's not a great lens, but it serves a useful purpose for me, and I wanted to share anyway! Will post some pics later!

Very nice, it supposed to be a bargain, not expensive but a good solid lens, so I think you will love it.

Phil that is one of my fave pics of Breagh, I have always really liked it.
