I would recomment this product
Bought this lens to replace an 18-300mm lens by another manufacturer which I found slow to focus and (when there was the slightest grime on the protecting filter) inaccurate to focus.
Pros:
- Accurate Focusing
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Simple Controls

Pretty Good
I purchased this lens along with a D3300 a few months before my recently completed Tanzanian safari, in order to become familiar with it in time for that big trip. Now that I used it for 2100 pictures in Africa, I can report that the lens is good, not great.

Nikon AF-S DX 18-300 F3.5-6.3G ED VR Lens JAA821DA review
Nikon's AF-S Nikkor 18-300mm F3.5-5.6 VR lens offers the longest zoom range currently available for any interchangeable lens camera system. But this comes with all of the usual optical compromises associated with a superzoom, in a large, heavy package.
Pros:
- Huge 16.7x focal length range (while maintaining F5.6 aperture at telephoto)
- Good image quality in the wide to short telephoto range
- Fast
- quiet autofocus
- Good build quality
- smooth zooming action and no zoom creep
- Decent close-up capability
- Nikon DX SLR owners looking for the longest possible...
Cons:
- Very soft results at telephoto
- Extreme distortion across most of the range (but can be corrected in-camera with recent SLRs)
- Image stabilization not as effective as on similar lenses
- especially at telephoto end
- Flash shadowing at wideangle on smaller SLRs
- Large
- heavy and expensive compared to...

Nikon 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR DX AF-S Nikkor
I've now taken hundreds of shots with my Nikon D7100 to compare the A. 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G DX with B. 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G DX and C. 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G FX, chosen best of three in all categories and carefully compared them. Here's what I've observed: 1.
Pros:
- Impressive focal length range
- handy size
- saves having to change lenses in the field
Cons:
- Vignetting at 18mm
- not super sharp
- focus breathing at 300mm with close subjects
- significantly overpriced

Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR
Nobody expects a zoom with as ambitious of a range as the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR to be an impeccable optical performer. Issues like distortion are readily removed, either in-camera or via software, but there's no fixing a lack of detail.
Pros:
- Long 16.7x zoom range
- Optical stabilization
- 1:3 macro magnification
- Relatively light and compact
Cons:
- Distortion throughout range
- Weak edge and telephoto performance
- Hood not included
