What to look for in Nikon lenses

1. Lens Type

The type of photography you're interested in will dictate the kind of lens you need. For instance, a wide-angle lens is suitable for landscapes, while a telephoto lens is ideal for wildlife or sports photography.

2. Aperture

The aperture of a lens determines how much light it can let in and the depth of field. A larger aperture (smaller f-number) allows more light in, which is useful in low-light conditions, and provides a shallow depth of field.

3. Focal Length

Focal length, measured in millimeters, indicates the lens's field of view. A shorter focal length offers a wider field of view but less magnification, while a longer focal length provides a narrower field of view but greater magnification.

4. Compatibility

Ensure that the lens you select is compatible with your Nikon camera model. While most Nikon lenses will fit Nikon cameras, certain features may not work unless the lens and camera are fully compatible.
