The reason they are so reasonable, probably because it is rarely used. Therefore they will melengkali the D7200 with a lens all-in-one, the versatile lens, and usually very pleasant was taken while on vacation. Besides FS DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f / 3.5-5.6G ED VR, which is very nice, you can also select Tamron 16-300mm f / 3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO or Sigma 18-300mm f / 3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM Contemporary.

The lenses are convenient to carry anywhere, without having to carry other lenses, because they can be used for a variety of shooting styles, certainly not as good as 50mm or 85mm lens, which is dedicated to making portraits. Similarly, if you want to create a macro image, then I  recommend that you choose lenses like Tamron 90mm f / 2.8 SP Di MACRO 1: 1 VC USD, Tokina 100mm f / 2.8 AT-X M100 AF Pro D Macro and AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f / 2.8g ED. If you had more than 1,000 US dollars, you can buy a Zeiss Makro-Planar T 100mm f / 2 ZF2 for about US$ 1,843.
