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

 

A big 5.5x zoom lens range extends your reach

More telephoto reach than most APS-C zoom lenses ; Very good image quality ; 4-stop stabiliser enables consistently sharp handheld shots

Front element rotates and extends during focusing ; Basic rather than ring-type AF-S autofocus ; You'll have to ditch it if you upgrade to a full-frame camera

Most telephoto zoom lenses designed specifically for APS-C rather than full-frame DSLRs have a zoom range of about 50-200mm. This gives them an effective zoom range of 75-300mm on Nikon camera bodies such as the D3100 and D5100, very close to the...

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

 

Nikon's 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR lens is designed for D-SLRs that use the DX lens mount, such as the D90, D5000 and the more recent D3100.

What it's refurb?

 

Nikon is great about RMA repair. I have used them before (NOT FOR THIS PRODUCT) if you purchase this test it for up to 90 days and if there is something wrong contact nikon and they will fix it.

If it wasn't for the note in the box from Nikon that says it has a 90 day warranty because it was refurbished BY NIKON I wouldn't have known it was refurb. The product is absolutely perfect!

None.

works great

 

Lens does as advertised. Very good in sun light and good lighting, loses quality in low lite situations. Sharpness is an 8 in good lights. Excellent for outdoor sports. The VR is awesome!

Low lights. Focuses a little slow but then it is a long lens.
