Comments about Nikon Nikon 55 - 300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED AF-S DX VR II (Vibration Reduction) Lens - White Box - with 5 Year U.S.A. Warranty:
Picture quality is pretty good for the price but the auto focus is extremely slow. Good luck trying to catch a bird in flight or even an airplane because if you lose focus you have to try and focus on something closer for the lens to respond again. I originally purchased this for sports shooting (Little League Baseball) but the focus is so slow that I wouldn't recommend it for that either. But if you need close ups of non moving objects this is an ideal lens.
