My 2nd Lens

Not sure about the available options in other countries, over here in Kota Kinabalu, the Nikon D5000 only comes with the AF-S 18-55mm VR kit lens. 

I have had lots of funs with the 18-55mm lens since the day I bought the camera.  Focus is fast even in low light, very close minimum focus distance, images are sharp, and it’s very light weight too.  However, after been playing with it for a while, I did come to situations where I wish I had a zoom lens so that I could snap from a distance. So after some discussion and research, I finally went out to grab my 2nd lens couple days ago, an AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 G IF-ED.
