Have used this lens now for well over a year in all kinds of light. Of course it's better in good light but I've happily used the lens in dull condition and just 'up' the ISO, if necessary in the high thousands and can get f10 at 125/sec and I'm not taking still objects being a railway snapper, I'm...

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Review

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is a sharp, compact walkaround lens, but it shows quite a lot of distortion throughout its zoom range. The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR ($1,049.95 direct)($946.95 at Amazon) is a zoom lens with an impressive 10.7x range, designed for use with full-frame Nikon cameras. It doesn't manage the fixed aperture of the company's pro-level zooms, but if you're looking for a fairly compact all-in-one zoom for travel or hiking, it's an appealing choice. The lens leaves very little to want in terms of sharpness, but distortion is an issue throughout its range. That's not atypical for a zoom of this range, especially one that manages to be fairly compact and cover a 24 x 36mm image sensor. The 28-300mm measures 4.5 by 3.3 inches (HD), but does extend when zoomed. It's a bit heavy at 1.8 pounds, and its big front element requires 77mm filters. A reversible lens hood is included. There are a couple of control switches on the barrel: One toggles the Vibration Reduction system, the other switches between manual and autofocus. The manual focus ring is located toward the base of the le...

Depends on light conditions

I have had this lens for three weeks now and tried it in various conditions and with all long Telephoto lens this suffers the same problem with the Maximum zoom in poor light conditions.

Nikkor AF-S 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR (FX) - Review / Test Report

Nikon offers a well regarded DX superzoom for quite a while already, but any FX user looking for something similar, as an occasional or permanent solution, so far only had the option to choose from a very limited list of third-party offerings.

Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S Nikkor review by tfewing

After buying a D700, I first relied mainly on my old AF lenses from the film days (20-35, 35-70, 80-200) plus some primes, while hoping Nikon would soon come out with serious f4 zooms like Canon users enjoy.
