How far can a 500mm lens zoom?
A lens with a focal length of 500mm can see about 12X further than the naked eye… Don’t fall for any misinterpretations about a camera sensor’s physical dimensions affecting the magnification ratio of a lens that can be used on a DX and FX camera body.
HOW IS zoom lens distance calculated?
To determine the overall zoom ratio of the lens, simply divide the longest focal length by the shortest. So, for example, the Sigma 18-35mm F1. 8 DC HSM and the 8-16mm F3. 5-4.5 are both examples of 2x zoom lenses: 35 divided by 16 equals 1.95, and 16 divided by 8 equals 2.
Is 300mm enough for wildlife?
It’s hard to get close to most wild subjects, so wildlife photographers generally use long lenses: at least 300mm for an APS-C DSLR, or 400mm for a full-frame DSLR or 35mm SLR. If you can get fairly close to larger animals, a 70-200mm zoom can work.
How far can you zoom with a 600mm lens?
All lenses can see up to infinity. If you want to see how large are it covers then that is the relation between the focal length and the sensor size. On a full frame sensor 600 mm lens covers 3.6 meters horizontally at 60 meters. On an APS-C sensor it covers only about 2.3 meters.

A practical, versatile lens, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is ideal for those who want a single lens that can handle just about any shooting opportunity.
How do I get to manual focus on The 55-300mm?
To get to and from manual focus mode, you must move a switch on this 55-300mm. There is no instant override as there is on the 70-300mm VR. Manual focus doesn’t work very well on this 55-300mm anyway, so if you want easy access to manual focus (I do), opt for the 70-300mm VRinstead.
Should I get The 55-300mm or 55-200mm?
If you don’t really need 300mm, the 55-200mm VRis the same as this 55-300mm lens, except for the plastic mount and 200mm maximum, for half the price. This 55-300mm excels for use as an ultra-compact, reasonably-priced supertelephoto, so long as you’re not getting it for sports.
