RESEARCHING A LENS TO PURCHASE

A while back I was asked about where I look for reviews when deciding to purchase a lens. I thought I would add the list here so it would be readily available should the need arise for you.

When researching a lens I will search the net and read countless posts and articles but these are the top sites I check.

http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews/

http://www.eflens.com/
http://www.dpreview.com/
http://www.nikonlinks.com/~nicke/photo/lenstest/brand.html

Some of these are well known, other may not be. They are listed in no particular order.

Good Luck
