I rented this only to see if it's time to retire my good, old 70-300 VR FX. Summary: Yes, I'm switching. I compared the two lenses on my D7200 and D7500s, taking hundreds of identical pictures and then placing best-of-three in each group side by side.

Very sharp; instant AF; amazing VR; priced right

Entry level construction and handling; some flare

I've been using this lens (non VR) for a month now and I'm amazed at it's clean images, fast and silent to focus, a light weight. I've shot static objects and fast movement and using ISO 800-1600 and almost always get a sharp/clean image. It will compete well with any zoom from Nikon.

The Nikon AF-P DX Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR Lens is a great performer, especially when you consider the price. Currently, you can pick up the VR version for less than ￡300, while the non-VR version, which is otherwise the same, for less than ￡200.

Product is great.. it is so sharp as i expected.. delivery so fast.. i got the lens 7 days earlier.. as they promise to deliver these product on 23rd August but i got on 16th August.. super fast delivery..

Its a very good lens for video capturing. Auto focus is excellent. It focuses very quickly it here is adequate light.No noice during the focus. Only negative thing about the lens is it not fits comfortably on my Nikon D5300 DSLR compared to all other lenses I have.

I like this lens. It is quite sharp, VR is surprisingly good. The rear lens cap was a polythene slip instead of a Nikon cap. At that price you can't expect everything.

I have had this lens for a short time. I bought it for use with a D7200 body. But since my 70-200 lens is in for repair, I have been using this dx 70-300 on my D850. Have been getting surprisingly good results. Don't know how durable a plastic lens will be, but for the price it is worth the risk.

I took a very long time deciding to purchase this lens for my D3400 Nikon, my specific interest is wildlife (mostly fast moving flying birds and waterfowl) not people or sport use.

Weather sealing

As a beginner DSLR user, I bought this lens to be able to take sport pictures. I tested it out on some surfers at Bells Beach and was really really pleased with the quality of the shots.
