Photos at 200 to 300mm useless

 

I bought this lens for bird photography. I am using it on a D90, which of course, if pretty old. Regardless, I could not get a decent image, even with a tripod, at extended focal lengths. The bird feathers had no detail whatsoever and cropping, of...

Lovely lens for the money.

 

I upgraded to this lens just after it came on the market sometime ago. It was a big improvement from my previous Nikon Lens, and that old lens was great in itself. Nikon continues to impress me with their products. It is a great lens for the money and...

Excellent performance out of an amateur lens!

 

I used this lens on vacation, professional bull riding event, bird photography, etc. Works great with my D7000 and D7100. I find it could be sharper at 300mm and quite a bit less plasticy! Focus is blazing fast and VR is EXCELLENT! Also weights almost...

At 300mm this lens is tack sharp

Portable and Sharp Telephoto Zoom

 

This 70-300mm zoom lens is easy to travel with and is optically excellent and affordable. The image of the Parthenon below was taken with a Nikon D700 camera body from the roof top of an open air taverna. The camera settings were the following: a...

Fair Lens

 

Good lens if you have very good quality lighting (i.e., bright sunlight). Also, images not very sharp at about 225mm thru 300mm. But it is a f4.5 - f5.6, so it is expected. I wish I would have waited a bit and got the 70-200mm f2.8. Very good point and...

Superb telephoto for budget-minded photographers

 

Finally had a chance to get this lens out and have been nothing but impressed with it. First of all; no, it's not on par with the faster - and vastly more expensive - telephoto lenses in Nikon's lineup in terms of clarity, sharpness, build quality, or...
