Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR review
Most telephoto zoom lenses designed specifically for APS-C rather than full-frame DSLRs have a zoom range of about 50-200mm. This gives them an effective zoom range of 75-300mm on Nikon camera bodies such as the D3100 and D5100 , very close to the classic telephoto zoom range of 70-300mm on...

The extra 100mm focal length definitely adds and increases quality and range of shots. A friends Mother has tried this lense and loves it also. When lent to Her for evaluation my fear was of never getting it back!
Pros:
- Easy To Use
- Extra range of shots
- Improves Picture Quality
Cons:
- Slight increase in weight

Practical Lens To Own
This is definitely the practical lens to own. It is low priced and gives excellent picture quality. The closest focusing distance is 1.4 m for you to closely capture the best moments with your beloved ones.

" I love this lens "
Totally amatuer photographer that knows just enough about cameras and photography to snap a truly memorable pic every now and then. Lens offers the opportunity to create nice pics for daylight portraits/landscapes and fast action sports, but I struggle to get any keepers in low-light fast action...
