Rated 4 out of 5

Amazing. It surprised me.

I used this lens for the first time (other than taking a few test shots here and there) Friday night. I went to a high-school varsity Football game and sat up high on the bleachers. The game was in the evening, so I didn't know how the shots were to come out. The field WAS well lit, so I thought I'd get some good shots of the action. ...and I did even though I was so far away. I set my ISO to 1400-1600, my shutter speed to somewhere around 1/125 at f/5.6 With a focal length at 300mm, the shots came out great. As the evening wore on, and the night became darker, I increased the exposure compensation. The shots came out with very little grain and excellent exposure. The lens surprised me since the price was far below my 70-200mm 1.8 (which I use only for professional photographs. I would definately recommend this to anyone looking for a good zoom lens.

Great lens for the $

Originally purchased for wildlife photography (actually found that in zoos and such 300mm is TOO close!) and it works great! I shot some of Yosemite's beautiful landscape using this lens as I zeroed in on specific areas. Recently have been using this lens to shoot candid shots of people from a distance away without being obtrusive. This lens works fabulously for this purpose. As you can see from my examples, this lens has more coverage than I previously thought. A great value for the cost. I am female and found that the lens is not too heavy and I can shoot without the need of a tripod in most situations. If you are considering this lens, you won't be disappointed.

Great tool to bring far things closer

Purchase intended for wildlife photography. Currently using with Nikon D80 and very happy with the test shot results.

Love this lens

Amazingly sharp at all focal lengths. Vibration reduction is very effective- 300mm @ 1/100 sec, is sharp. Superb sharpness at minimum focus- for close-up work. I own the 70-200mm VR, and am considering selling it. I love this lens....lighter, more compact, and substantially less $$$

Comprising many of Nikon's most advanced features such as Nikon ExtraLow Dispersion (ED) glass, Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and enhanced Vibration Reduction (VRII), internal focus (IF), as well as optics perfected for use with both Nikon DX format digital and 35mm filmSLR cameras, the 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor is sure to appeal to a broad spectrum of Nikon photographers.

Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Lens (White Box) - Nikon USA Warranty Features

  • Nikon's exclusive VRII technology minimizes the effects of camera shake, allowing photographers to shoot hand-held at as many as 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise bepossible, assuring dramatically sharper images in challenging shooting conditions. Normal and Active VR modes are available.
  • Construction features 17 elements in 12 groups with two ED glass elements to minimize chromatic aberration throughout the entire zoom range while ensuring high resolution and contrast.
  • A nine-blade rounded diaphragm opening makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural.
  • The Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables fast and quiet autofocusing and smoothswitching between autofocus and manual operation. Two focus modes are available M/A and M.
  • The added compactness and constant lens length provided by an Internal Focus (IF) design means improved handling characteristics and the elimination of the rotation of the front lens element, facilitating the use of circular polarizing filters.
  • Picture angle is 34°20' - 8°10' with 35mm SLRs and 22°50' - 5°20' with Nikon DX format SLRs. (When used on a Nikon DX-format DSLR, the effective picture angle is similar to that of a 105-450mm lens on a 35mm film SLR.)
