Colors are rendered accurately and the contrast is pretty sharp even at the max aperture. The lens is compact for a 300mm and it's lighter than my AF-S DX 18-200mm which I use as my regular walk-around. I'm sure the new 55-300 will be used as my walk around pretty frequently also.

A Worthwhile Investment

I bought the 55-300mm zoom over the 55-200mm zoom for the times I may want to use it for sporting events and large outdoor events. It was a great decision, putting me even closer to my subject. For the very same reason this is a great lens for my photojournalism needs.

Review

With the VR alone, it distances itself from other zoom lenses of the same specs.

Nikon Telephoto Lens

The lens has great clarity at any zoom range, biggest complaint is the minimum focus range is 4.6 ft which i should have known before buy, but it would have stopped me from buying this anyways.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 55-300mm f4.5-5.6G ED VR

Arguably the least glamorous of Nikon's most recent lens announcements, this DX format zoom is intended to partner the 18-55mm kit lens bundled with the new D3100 and D5000. It's also meant as an alternative to the existing 55-200mm VR, offering more reach as the equivalent to an 82-450mm on a 35mm...

Good lens for outdoors.

I use this lens on my D5100 and works well for getting up-close pictures of... nature. Have not used it for any sports or action shots yet.
Pros:
  • Has auto-focus and VR
Cons:
  • Can't think of anything..

GOOD DEAL, you won't match or beat this anywhere - I searched.

Pretty good lens, all in all - great package. Came with a cleaning materials and a tripod. The tripod is flimsy and not worth $20 however it was FREE. SO at least I can gift it to a friend.
