Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Review

 

Optically, the Nikon AF-S Nikkor DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is better than we expected it to be, based on its price tag and 5.5x zoom ratio. Centre sharpness, in particular, is very good at most focal lengths, including 300mm where most consumer...

Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR

 

A 5.5x telephoto zoom lens for DX cameras with Vibration Reduction which starts where bundled kit lenses stop extending your range through to a super-telephoto 300mm.

Decent optical performer; Good build quality for a consumer lens; Light weight

Delay before VR system kicks in properly

REVIEW: Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR

 

Gary Wolstenholme takes a look at Nikon's latest telephoto offering for DX format cameras.

Decent optical performer; Good build quality for a consumer lens; Light weight

Lens extends and focus ring rotates during AF; Delay before VR system kicks in properly

During testing the Nikon 55-300mm lens proved itself capable of producing decent results. It fills a gap in Nikon's lens line up giving DX camera owners the popular 300mm focal without leaving a gap after the 18-55mm kits lenses provided with most of...

Nikon Nikkor 55-300mm VR ED Lens(AF-S DX)

 

I was not sure which lens to buy.Either Nikon 55-200mm VR or the 55-300mm VR ED. But finally I decided to go for 55-300mm VR ED Lens and I made the right choice. I just used this lens in my recent trips to the Rockies. The entire rockies seemed to be...

Great Lens

 

I returned my 55-200mm lens and purchased this one. Very similar but quite a bit better zoom which makes a difference when it is needed. I use it with my Nikon D5100 and is a nice complement to my 18-55mm lens. Very impressed on closeups of insects and...
