What is a really good ultra zoom lens for Nikon D7000 DSLR camera? Preferably under $400.00 (US dollars) lol! I'm needing one for going to a zoo, or somewhere when the focal object(s) would be very far away.
Thanks :)
Answer
Any Nikkor AF, AF-I or AF-S lens.
An "ultra-zoom" like a 18-200 mm or 18-300 mm lens will cost you closer to a grand.
Here is a list of all the lenses your camera can use.

There is a 55-200 mm lens that will fit into your budget

So I am in the market for a new lens and the prices on Nikon's website scare me. I remembered that you can use other maker's lenses with a Nikon. What companies make cheaper (price not quality) that fit a Nikon D7000.
Answer
Have a look at Tamron and Sigma - both make Nikon mount lenses at significantly cheaper prices than Nikon/Nikkor do. Quality in my experience isn't a problem - I've Nikon D200 and D300 cameras and have both Tamron and Sigma lenses for them - the excellent Tamron 10 - 24mm wide angle lens was about half the cost of the equivalent Nikkor lens - and never had a moment's problem with them.
On Tamron's site, look for Di II lenses - built for your D7000. On Sigma's site have a look for DC lenses.
Both Tamron and Sigma lenses in other formats (Di III and DG for example) will work on your D7000 just fine but the focal length numbers for these formats need to be multiplied by 1.5. So, for example, a Sigma 70 - 300mm lens will be seen by your camera as a 105 - 450mm lens. Easier if you can to stick to the formats made for your camera :)
