I see this 70-300mm lens does not have a built in motor vs another package that does have a built in motor on the lens. What is the difference?

My package arrived with both lenses with built in motor. They both work great. it is a great package for beginners but I will recommend you to purchase lenses with a wide angle from Nikon for a more versatile picture

i have the same package in black. the tamron 70-300 does have a motor, pretty quiet too. it's an AF-s lens. automatic. you don't have to manual focus it, of course you can if you please. great lens, got a lot of cool moon pictures with it.

No, There is no motor in the lens. It will manual focus only. Aperture will function normally

I think that motor is built in as most of the other lenses. It's rare to see an AF lense without motor. By the way the camera does it all. From autofocus to image stabilize. You're still be able to focus object manually.

Since you aren't being specific about which 75-300, I'll just assume it's because they don't have image stabilization (IS). Cheaper Canon 75-300mm lenses don't usually have this feature. The UD lenses have fluorite (I think) elements. At any rate, the "UD" tag in the lens name = ultra low dispersion (which means more $$). You can tell the features of a particular lens by the numbers and abbreviations in the lens name. Example: EF (type of lens mount), 70-300mm (this one is obvious), f/4-5.6 (aperture range from 70-300), IS (image stabilization), USM (type of motor that drives the autofocus, in this case, Ultra Sonic). All of these features can add to or take away from the price of a lens. You might also see a I, II, or III thrown in there somewhere, this is the revision or the iteration of a particular lens series. I hope this helps.

This lens does not have an autofocus motor and the more expensive one not only has a focus motor but has better optics as well. I have this lens and still takes good pictures.

I owned the 300 f4 and replaced it with the 70-300 L which for me is a better alternative. The additional length makes a huge difference; I also owned the 70-200 F4, a wonderful lens but I find I no longer use since I have the 70-300L. There is NO comparison between the non-L version of 70-300 & the L version. This is a terrific lens & you will be happy with it.

This lens does not have internal motor for focusing, do your option is manual focus only

No, there is no built in motor for this one. Compatible lens is the Tokina Pro 11.

I have a d7000 which, unlike the 5100, has a built in motor -- there is a motorized version of this lens available (which is the latest incarnation and costs between $50 and $100 dollars more -- THAT is the one you want to buy. It also has some coating upgrades, VR2 and waterproofing. There are only three words that really describe this lens. Sharp. Sharp. Sharp. I Hope this helps.

Yes, the length changes depending on the focusing distance. The 300mm f4 has internal focusing and also focuses closer. I found the 300 to be a much better lens overall even though the field of view is narrower. Of course it is more expensive but I love it.

The 55-300 takes nice, sharp photos, and focuses fast enough if lighting is good. It's easier to lug around if taking a lot of pictures. I own the 55-300 and know its limitations, and it is a fine lens for the price.From what I've read about the 70-300:The 70-300 is a step up in build quality, focuses faster but you'll feel the weight if you are lugging it around for awhile.So it depends on what you are going to use the lens for.If you really want the best in quality, go for a fast 2.8 lens - great quality pictures with shallow depth of field and fast focusing. NOTE: Lenses are a long-term purchase more than cameras are. I have a Sigma HSM 70-200 2.8 lens I bought long ago that still works great with my d90.

The 70-300 IS is the newest version and according to reviews, it is much better than the 75-300 IS.

You should really try to get the best lens you can afford to make your 30D shine.

This zoom lens is 110% better than the kit zoom lens. Basically Canon L glass is the top of the line glass. The quality of the shots taken with L glass is amazing. The construction is second to none, it's built like a tank and lasts for over 20 years with proper care. The resale value is usually high because of their quality. This was my first L glass from Canon and I never looked back. I don't know which zoom lens your talking about, the 75-300,55-250 or 70-300mm. My first ever zoom lens was the 70-300mm I still use this lens even though i upgraded to the L glass just because of the extra 100mm reach. But the only real shots i take with the 70-300 are shots of the moon. Other than that it's the 70-200mm F4 for me.

I bought one of these white box offers. It means it came in a kit sale with multiple lens. These lens came packed in separate packing, the white box. Some people would rather upgrade to a better lens. Some of the better lens cost more than the camera. Over all, it works just fine and I could tell mine was not used. That being said, the better the lens, more options for a clearer more defined focus at distances. Hope this helps

Honestly, there are some available on ebay with buyer protection (but I understand why you would want to get it from the above places instead). The 70-200mm is a great lens, but if you have your heart set on this particular lens you should wait to get this one :)I just ordered one from ebay but I did my research on the seller first.

I believe the 70-300 is for the older 4/3 standard, & would require an adapter for a micro 4/3 camera, which would slow its focusing considerably.
