Not 55-400mm

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.

Has auto-focus and VR

Can't think of anything..

Almost all portraits from http://3foto.ro are made with 55-300mm on D7000. Tele lens means no distortion and blur background.

Good for portraits

none

Took my new 55-300mm Nikkor lens out for a test spin recently, and I have to say that I love it. Compared to my older Sigma 18-200mm lens, this one produces a much more crisp image (i.e. little to no chromatic aberration) requiring far less processing in Photoshop to clean everything up.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Lightweight; Rugged; Very sharp great contras

Slow Focus
