I love this lens....man you can really zoom in and get very upclose.... we just got back from Memphis for the tennis tournament and I took 968 pics of the tennis pro's and some very up close shots....I love it!!!!

Overall a great lens!! The VR works great and helps a lot!! Sometimes it has a hard time/slow focusing low lighting, but other than that pretty much nothing wrong with this.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable

Poor in Low Light

With internal focusing and a consistent set of MTF curves, this stabilised 70-300mm optic has a lot going for it for Nikon users

Internal focusing

Not much at all

Most lenses of this type offer a maximum aperture of f/4 but Nikon's lens is limited to f/4.5. Despite this, it requires a 67mm lens cap even though its faster f/4 competitors are able to make do with either 58mm or 62mm.

Internal focusing

Not much at all

I priced this lens everywhere. No one could price match (Even the top name electronic stores). The closest they came was $70.00 more plus tax. What a great deal. I have always received top notch equipment and price from Cameta Camera.

There's a gigantic price difference between this lens and the Nikon 70-200 2.8G AF-S VR meaning if you want something in between you have to go with a third party manufacturer. Even then it's a jump up to around the $1100+ mark to get anything better than this.

Good optical quality for the very low price range; Good VR.

300mm is quite blurry; Slow & unreliable autofocus

Excellent lens for the money, if you can live with few quirks being a used lens than this is the one for you. Received one with scratched glass and Cameta customer service did replace immediately.

Great Picture Quality; Slow In Low Light

Noisy; Vr Takes Time To Work

Good quality lens. It's not a pro lens but it works fine especially if your on a fixed budget. Only drawback is you can't use a nikon teleconverter on it.

I purchased the lens ready for a wildlife cruise in Jan/Feb. so I have been getting use to it.The results so far are very good, VR works well, The weight is OK for carry on at part of my photo kit. The price was good. (not beaten on survey of online stores.)

Razor sharp photos in low light.

Easy to use; Compact; Build quality
