so i've got a Nikon D80. and i've got a Nikkor 18-70mm lens for it.
i want a lens that will help me get great shots for close ups. i've got about 10 snakes, and i want to get close up shots ov them, where i can see alot ov detail.
what kind ov lens should i get that would be under $300? please be specific so i may find the lens you recommend.
Tamron 17-35 mm f2.8 is under $300 and you can take great wide angle pics from a distance from as little as 11 inches.
It is a great and relatively fast lens!!
Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras is good zoom lens but it over your budget maybe you can consider Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DL-M "Motorized" DG Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens with Built-in Motor Drive for Nikon SLR Cameras which cheaper.
