Excellent Lens

I replaced 5 lenses with this lens . I am well satisfied with this. I did a photo shoot in our church, and never had to move from my pew. I made a photo album for our pastor and he is thrilled to death.. I could not be happier !!

I have tested the lens. It does not focus sharply at 300 mm with Auto Focus and using Manual. I am returning the lens for service.

A Superb All Purpose Lens

Replaced my Nikon 18-200, which is the best and most used lens I've ever owned, with this lens and I've never looked back. It is a superb all purpose lens. Buy it.

Great all-around lens

This is lens is great for all-around use. The focus is fast, quiet and accurate and zoom range is incredible. It saves time by eliminating lens changes which means less lost opportunities. I especially like it for backcountry landscapes where carrying minimum equipment is necessary. It is a heavy piece of gear which makes it difficult to carry on your neck all day.

Great all around lens!

I read many reviews before purchasing this lens and I had some reservations about clarity and overall IQ, but I'm not disappointed at all. This is a fantastic all-around lens and the IQ is wonderful for the price and the versatility. This is not a professional lens and is not marketed, priced, or intended to be such. For the majority of us hobbyists out there, this is a must have, particularly if you're into general nature photography. I have had equal success with wildlife, sunrises and sunsets, and forest flora shots. It is fantastic to carry only one lens and be able to artistically capture so many different photographs. It is heavy, but that's to be expected for the almost unbelievable focal length span. The smaller apertures are what one should expect from a lens of this price range. The auto-focus is fast and accurate and I love the M-M/A function which allows for fine tuning focusing. The VR functions very well and the zoom and focus rings are solid and conveniently located. The mount is metal and has some weather sealing which is a plus. The front of the lens does not rotate during focusing which permits the use of CP filters. The lens is very well built and is a good balance between solid construction and light weight. I have used this lens for some time now and have nothing negative to say. The negative ratings I have read seem to be asking for a professional f/1.4 superzoom that weighs 1/2 pound and costs $. Get real. For the smart buyer who has realistic expectations, this is a fantastic buy. I highly recommend!

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

Nikon's most powerful All-in-One zoom lens ever.
If you want a single lens that can cover every imaginable shooting situation, from wide-angle group shots all the way to ultra-high-power zoom shots, look no further than the new AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18 300mm. Boasting the longest reach of any NIKKOR All-in-One zoom lens, it delivers the equivalent of 450mm of super-telephoto power enough reach to bring the most distant action up close. Nikon's second generation Vibration Reduction (VR II) image stabilization ensures every photo and HD video is razor-sharp, and Nikon'sadvanced lens technologies deliver consistent, exceptional performance in any setting. It's even great for close-up shooting (as close as 1.48 ft from your subject at 300mm). Even more amazing, the AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18-300mm doesall this in a surprisingly compact, lightweight lens.

Nikon 18-300mm Features

  • Versatile, Ultra-High Power 16.7x Zoom Lens: Goes from wide-angle (27mm equivalent) all the way to super-telephoto (450mm equivalent) for maximum versatility and reach.
  • Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC): Enhances light transmission and offers superior color consistency and reduced flare.
  • Silent Wave Motor (SWM): A significant innovation in AF lens technology, Nikon's Silent Wave Motor uses ultrasonic (inaudible) vibrations - rather than a gear system - to focus the lens, providing incredibly smooth, silent and precise autofocus operation.
  • Internal Focus (IF): All internal optical movement is limited to the interior of the non-extending lens barrel. This allows for a more compact, lightweight construction as well as a closer focusing distance.
  • Zoom Lock Switch: Secures the lens barrel at its minimum focal length, preventing the lens from extending during transport.
  • Nikon VR II (Vibration Reduction) Image Stabilization: Tailored to each lens, enables handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible for dramatically sharper images and HD videos, even in low light.
  • M/A (Manual/Auto) focus mode switch: Select NIKKOR lenses have a focusing mode which allows switching from automatic to manual focusing with virtually no lag time by simply turning the focusing with virtually no lag time by simply turning the focusing ring on the lens.
  • Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm: Renders a beautiful, natural background blur (Bokeh) at its wider aperture settings.
