Great lens!

 

I got this lens as a kit with my D3100 W/ the 18-55mm. Saved like $150.00

I didn't realize how much I would be using this lens! Takes nice crisp photos of the moon. A must when going to places like the zoo. I recommend a first time DSLR buyer to get this lens along with the 18-55mm kit lens

Great Lens

 

This lens weighs a fraction of what my Nikon 80-400 weighs, and it does just about everything that lens will do. On a DX body ( I have a D200.) it is the equivelant of about an 80-450 zoom on a 35mm or FX format camera. It could be faster, but not in a...

So far so good

 

I bought this lens to go with my new D3200. I have not used it a whole lot, but so far it has been great. It is durable and takes great photos.

Nicely made, takes great long distance photos

Remarkable Lens!

 

This lens is amazing at capturing long distance shots! It is really easy to attach to the camera and takes brilliant photos!

Faraway pictures come out so clear and crisp

great lens for telephoto

 

have to remember to twist it the opposite from normal in order to install or remove it; takes good, clear photos from afar; a bit bulky for carrying around if not needed right away

easy to use

somewhat heavy and bulky

Consumer review by:

Great lens, steady pictures while zoomed in.

 

I bought my wife a D3100 for Christmas, while boating she realized the 18-55 was not powerful enough. We went out during the Herring spawn and got some great whale pictures with the 55-300 lens. With a powerful flash you can take indoor pics but have...

Zoomed in and able to take some great whale pics

Small aperture darkens indoor pics, but we got it for outdoors

Great Lens quality

 

Purchased this along with our D5100, I have used it a few times so far and love it, if you are trying to decide between the 200MM and this one, spend the extra money now, I did and do not regret it.

really reaches out and captures in great detail

nothing so far

Great lens!

 

I bought this lens for my NIKKON D3100. I love using the lens and the pictures are great. It really brings things in close and for the price is awesome! I love it and am glad I bought it!

Easy to take off and put on

Nothing I can think of to say

Just what I needed

 

I attended my brother's college graduation with just a 55mm lense that came with my Digital SLR camera and was extremely disappointed with the pictures I was able to take because I couldn't get close enough to the stage to take good shots. But with...

Great zoom

Great zoom naturally leads to having a rather long lense

Consumer review by:

Great lense.

 

This was a great deal for me. It was included in a bundle. When I used the lense, it was perfect for me. The picture was crisp, and I like it. Setting the ISO and aperture added more flavor to the photo. I really love playing with it.

Crisp pics
