If in case you are feeling a bit confused with what these items are, you should realize that these are lenses that you can use on your camera. Some starting photographers may only start learning about these lenses when they begin.

One main difference between these lenses is their ability to zoom into the subject. The 55-300 is expected to be heavier as compared to the 55-200. There are a lot of people who will be able to carry these lenses as long as they know that they have the right containers to carry the lenses properly.

Otherwise, there is always a chance that the lenses will get scratched and so much more. The price of the 55-300 lens is also going to be more expensive as compared to the 55-200.

When it comes to lenses, the model of the lens indicates the difference between them. The model of the lens includes the description of the focal length, aperture, and other features. This question has given us the focal length, which we can compare.

They both start at 55mm, but their ending differs. 300mm is a higher number than 200mm, which means the 55-300mm can zoom in 100mm more and get closer to the subject than the 200mm. With lenses, there are focal length comparison shows, which show the distance is the same, but what changes is the lens used and how it can zoom to the subject.
