Dear experts

I am aware that there are upteen threads on the same topic - however I felt the need to have a customized answer - Sorry the question is a bit long please bear/

I have a Nikon D80 with standard 18-55mm VR lens
And I think it’s time I have a 70-300mm reach in my arsenal.

Areas of interest – Bulk of my photography revolves around landscapes ( which can range from photos in high altitude desert / snow filled mountain regions to waterfalls and rivers to plain desert to lush green plains of India ) followed closely by animals ( as in wildlife ) probably say 20 percent or so depending upon how often I go for safaris and so – off course the occasionally snap shot type photography during outings

Unfortunately my options are limited with regards to my budget (ceiling of $400) though the preferred range is between $ 200 to $ 300

Naturally I love photography but my interests are at achieving great quality amateur photos than great quality professional photos – so even though I want to get the best lens I don’t want to go overboard with an expensive version - if you get the jest of my requirement. I don’t pickup my camera and go out looking for photo opportunity but I do have my camera whenever I am out trekking or on trips.
