Questions & Answers

RAYMOND K : Is this lens imported or USA ?EDGAR E : Raymond, I haven't seen or known Nikon lens made in USA. All Nikon lens are imported. The USA warranty meant, I think, came in the USA through proper channel. There is what you call Gray, no USA warranty. I bought this exact lens for its versatility as a travel lens. It is made in Thailand. GaryVINCE G : If it advertised as a new leaf warranty and not a Nikon warranty It’s probably important. I have this lens he came with my Nikon D7 50 and therefore was a Nikon lens it’s pretty good lens but very slow especially when extend it out to 300 mm. But at the price it was a pretty good deal.DANIEL P : USA WarrantySTEPHEN F P : Look at 'What's in the box:" and you'll find the following: Nikon 5 Year USA Warranty (1 Year International + 4 Year USA Extension)MICHAEL B : The one I received came with the US warranty when I bought it.ANDREW R : Grey market or "Direct Import" items are clearly marked as such on our website.

Excellent all around lens

Excellent lens and great for all around use. As with all lenses, best performance is achieved by stopping down one stop or more from the widest aperture. The lens is a little heavy, but that should be expected for this range. Great close focusing capability- very sharp.

Nikon 20-300mm Lens

I enjoy this lens for traveling. It pretty much covers most of my needs and I really do not have to carry many other lenses. The performance is excellent allowing me to get sharp images.

Very good and versatile

This is an extremely good and versatile lens. I gave it to my son to start his business as at 300 mm it was a little soft for my wildlife photos. I wish I hadn?t parted with it because it is very flexible and great for shooting models outdoors.

I Really Like This Lens

I wish the Nikon 28-300mm was offered as a second choice for the D780 kit lens. Nothing wrong with the 24-120 lens, but the 28-300mm is a better fit for my shooting out in the wilderness, landscape/wildlife. I really like this lens, it shoots sharp for me. The only minor issue, I see some vignetting at 300mm.

This is my everyday lens. I use it fo almost everything. The quality of the lens is outstanding as is the optical quality. I don’t think you can beat the value.

OK for all around lens but not my preferred lens

I use 24-70 and 70-200 both 2.8 for one major benefit - faster focus. Added this lens for all around general purpose lens, it's good but being being spoiled using 24-70 f2.8 VR this lens severely under performs with focusing accuracy and speed. Once correctly focussed focus is very sharp. Zooming is kind of tight. Overall it's a good lens for general purpose.

Perfect Lens for my New Nikon Z

Bought this as my first and only lens to use with a Nikon Z6 and the FTZ adapter and couldn't be happier. If you can only afford one lens at >$1000 this is a winner as it is so versatile. I have others now but this one is on my camera in the bag because it can nearly do it all.

Very Versatile Indeed

Why only 4 stars? Because at the 300mm end, it has too much rectilinear distortion for use on architectural or other shots requiring straight lines to be straight. That problem goes almost entirely away at 200mm. Otherwise, I can't say anything bad about this lens, and I can say a lot of good things. I especially like the 0.32X max. magnification ratio. One of my main photographic aims is close-up photography, and many times if I am carrying the D750/28-300 combo for more general photography, I can get some pretty good close-up shots as well. For example, shooting during a garden party ends up mixed with a goodly number of flower and pollinator shots as well. At the same magnification, it isn't as good a close-up lens as my 200mm MicroNikkor, but it takes some careful snooping to find the differences; in other words, most people, almost all of the time, won't notice. The versatility is the main reason I have this lens. It is my one-and-only lens below 200mm in focal length (the others are the 200mm mentioned above, and 500mm phase-Fresnel telephoto) and it does all my "general" photography. It has yet to fail me in that regard (excepting the rectilinear issue noted above).

Don’t know about camera compatibility. I think all Nikon mounts, including mirror less, are universal but I’m not positive about mirrorless. The lens itself is a little soft at the length limits.

Fantastic quality Boat Anchor

I bought this lens for my Nikon D850. Image quality is excellent. I shot ocean landscape images and I couldn’t see a difference from my 20mm f 1.8, which is one of Nikon’s benchmark landscape lenses . My only complaint is that it’s HEAVY, HEAVY, HEAVY. Must be getting weak in my old age. Great lens though.

Great Range Good Lens

Great walking around lens. I have tested it on a D750, D810, and D850. Results on the D750 are great. You lose a little in the corners on the D850, but it's a super zoom so that's to be expected. Overall, it's far better than you would expect for a lens with this amount of range.

My best lens in 40 years

By Billy K.

Well, finally, after several months of sleepless nights, and reading countless reviews online, wondering if I should purchase the 28-300 lens for my built-like-a-tank D300, I finally took the plunge a few weeks ago. However, I had to return my first purchase because it had a focus problem. Sometimes I had to turn the camera off and then on again for it to focus properly. The one I now have is super, and actually, for the size of the lens, I think the focus time is very, very good. Also, from ...

For the first time, it really is like having a bag of prime lenses along all of the time.

By Daddio

The previous scenario was D7100 with 18-200 DX VR. That was an excellent setup and we have no complaints about the many great memories on the walls and hard drives -- except it fell short focal length wise a few times when planning ahead was not an option. The move up to FX (D610 and now D750) along with this 28-300 FX VR as the "always within reach camera" is a real game changer. Not hype. Been doing this a few decades. Wow. Why? Because if the lighting is there (and even when it's not...), ...

The Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Nikkor is a long-range wide-angle to telephoto zoom lens for Full-Frame and APS Nikon DSLR cameras. Featuring a 10.7x zoom lens and focus to 18 inches, the lens is an outstanding choice for travel photography, family photography, macro photography, sports and action photography. It is well-suited for both professional photographers and enthusiasts, especially thanks to its next-generation Vibration Reduction (VR) technology, which adds approximately 3.5 stops of blur-free handheld shooting. Thanks to its long range it can replace several lenses, while its Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) is fast, accurate and quiet, making it a good choice for both still photography and HD video.

What you should know about this lens:
• For FX and DX Nikon DSLRs: The lens is compatible with both full-frame (FX) and APS-sensor (DX) Nikon cameras; on a DX DSLR, the lens provides a 35mm field of view equivalent to 42-450mm.
• Excellent Optics: The Nikon 28-300mm lens features two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements to minimize chromatic aberration at all apertures, resulting in sharp images with accurate color. Three aspherical lens elements eliminate other aberrations, and Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) enhances light transmission to reduce flare. Lens elements have been engineered for edge-to-edge sharpness in both APS and 35mm formats.
• Vibration Reduction (VR): Second-generation image stabilization technology is used here to reduce camera shake by 3.5-4 stops, making this lens a good choice for low-light photography.
• Quiet AF: Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) is fast, accurate and quiet, for quick focus acquisition for still photography, while its near silent operation makes this lens a very good choice for HD video. Internal focusing means the lens length remains constant even when focusing, so working distance of lens to subject remains consistent. A
• Quiet AF: Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) is fast, accurate and quiet, for quick focus acquisition for still photography, while its near silent operation makes this lens a very good choice for HD video. Internal focusing means the lens length remains constant even when focusing, so working distance of lens to subject remains consistent. A manual focus override is available.
• No zoom creep: The lens has a Zoom Lock switch to prevent the lens from extending when pointed down or while it's being transported.
• Close focus: The lens focuses to 18 inches from all focal lengths, making it a near-macro when shooting at 300mm.
• Great Bokeh: The lens's 9 aperture blades are rounded, rendering natural-looking out-of-focus areas of the image and rounded specular highlights.
