its a really sharp nikkor lens however on my Nikon D7000s I find it hunts & pecks for even stationary subjects if that doesnt bother you or you arent shooting moving subjects its a great lens the "G" gelded works on about 90% of nikon cameras its a FX full frame lens or 35mm capable lens add 1.5 X crop factor or 42 to 450mm for DX crop cameras

I have been using this lens on my 2 cameras for years now, it’s a lightweight and quick focusing when lighting is good, slower focus in poor light, but still gets the job done!

Beautiful lense, easy to attach to camera, was able to take incredibly clear, close up pictures at quite a distance.

Fantastic lens. Sharp as a tack, and the VR works perfectly. I bought it mostly for Air Shows, where the Nikon 1's fast focusing shines, but it's so much fun to use that I've been using it for all kinds of photography: birds and animals, details of old buildings, even portraits. It's big for a Nikon 1 lens, but tiny for it's reach. A bit expensive, but worth every penny

Initial impression is that's it's a beautifully clear, fast autofocusing well balanced lens; just getting started using it, more to come as I get more experience with it.

This lens was also on the lower end of the pricing scale but it has performed extremely well. I take astrophotography pictures using this lens with a Nikon D810-A and the images are much better than I expect. Even when pointing straight up there is no sliding out of focus. I would definitely recommend this lens.

We purchased this as a Christmas gift for our adult daughter. It was on her wish list. We are unable to give an honest evaluation since we aren't the ones using it. Purchase process was easy and very quick and the lens arrived safely and well packed. The evaluation above reflects the purchase process and not the lens itself!

I have been flirting with the idea of dropping a few grand on a pro tele lens in the 300 to 400 mm range. My fear was/is that I would not use the beast enough to justify the amount spent. This lens was my fall back position to test my resolve to bet my retirement on a pro lens. To be sure it is a bottom shelf plastic lens that would be vulnerable with rough use. The absence of VR necessitates a tripod, and f4.5 isn't going to win any races and low light environments are not its forte. That said the photos have been sharp and the fun factor is high. For occasional use I think this is a very practical choice. If I find I am shooting a bunch at extended ranges I will undoubtedly upgrade. If I only use it on rare circumstances it will stay in my bag for a long time.

The clarity of the lens is stunning. This lens spends most of it's time on my little V2, it's as good as any of the full frame prime big lenses I have owned. Incredible reach, and it's sharp wide open.

Very light and takes great pictures. I like the 67mm filter size, I can use one polarizer for 2 lenses

Otima lente com excelente custo beneficio, foco muito rápido, o detalhe e que só funciona nas cameras com motor de foco tipo: d90, d50, d70, d80, d7000...

Utilizo ela numa D3200, então as minhas opiniões são em cima dessa configuração: como ela não tem motor de foco, tenho que usar com foco manual, o que é um pouco mais trabalhoso que o normal, mas como sou da velha guarda, isso não me incomoda muito. A falta do VR também não é um problema difícil de lidar. ( tripé ou alta velocidade ajudam ) Ela é uma lente escura, principalmente em 300mm, mas isso não quer dizer que não há solução, o uso do tripé combinado com ISO alta, resolve desde que não se incomode muito com o granulado. fotografar pássaros com ela é um desafio, já que os melhores momentos são ao nascer ou entardecer quando não há muita luz, e eles não param quietos, porém gratificante. objetos rápidos também precisam de muita atenção e pericia. já em condições de muita luz ela funciona muito bem. ou seja se for fazer paisagem ou arquitetura a luz do dia, ela é a sua lente, embora obviamente ( nessa faixa de preço ) há uma distorção leve da lente. tem uns dois anos que considero essa compra, a promoção deste site me animou, e não me arrependo, ela expandiu minhas possibilidades a um custo baixo. já que, como a minha câmera e "cropada" , ela vira quase uma 450 mm

over all it is a good lens for normal life. also it is from a old lens, so it is is not sharp and focus soft, for example, it is not as sharp as 18 - 55 mm AF-S lens. But for the price it is an option for beginner and hobbyist to get a telephoto zoom lens.It is bot good and bad at all.

Ótimo produto!! Vale muito a pena, ótimo custo benefício, o fato dela não possuir o VR não me atrapalha pois uso mais em ambiente externo e claro, então normalmente fotógrafo com velocidade mais alta. É uma lente muito nítida!!!

My review title basically says it all. This lens brings power associated with larger DSLR lenses to the mirror-less Nikon1 world. Fast autofocus and good vibration control. Can't wait to get more use with it this Summer.

I bought this len in 2013, still use it with my D80...taken excellent boxing photos indoors and outdoor especially during day light, very clear. It has no VR and autofocus does work with D80 so that a plus. I just bought the D7200 with two lens deal but I am also keeping this len for back up. You can really beat the price for the value of photos.

Love this lens
By Ashley R.
The title sums this lens up well. I love this lens, and a good upgrade from the 18-55mm kit lens. Although, I wish I could have bought the VR version, I am completely happy without it. My images generally turn out great even without it. I use this on my D3100, and even though I have to manually focus(which I did even with my kit lens) it works perfectly fine, where some people online were saying it doesn't work well with my camera model. Over all, it's amazing for it's price and zoom range.
Excellent performance despite the cheap price.
By nastanir
First of all it does not have VR and won't auto focus on D3100. For that there is AF-S 55-300 VR at almost 3 times the price of this one (online). This is also one of he two cheapest priced lens in the entire Nikon catalog. So I was hesitant if it is worth buying. It is worth if you are looking for a decent telephoto zoom, won't mind manual focusing, and usually taking pictures during the day. Picture quality is sharp (better than I expected), way better than your 10x point & shoot or SLR loo...
