Photography Question

Stacking lenses?


I have a D80 Sports Package (that's what the box says it is) that came with 2 lenses. The box says that the 2 lenses combine for 11x digital zoom. Can I actually stack the lenses together to combine them or is this just a mis-statement on my box?

  Which two lenses? I'm guessing the package combines the 18-55 f/3.5-5.6G and the 55-200 f/4-5.6G. As a set, they give you 18mm to 200mm, an 11x range (200 รท 18 = 11.11). But only one lens is used at a time.

  It's the 18-55 for sure, but can't remember the zoom specs. I guess it's just the way it was worded that confused me, especially since it says it's a Sports Package.
