I bought this Nikon zoom lens for my Nikon D5300 a few weeks ago, after exhaustive online research on general and bird photographer web sites. I am a watercolour artist and want to capture Australian native bird shots as reference for my art.

The versatility of this lens is remarkable. Even with a minimum focus distance of 4.6 feet, the long focal length allows me to use it for sharp macro photography. The vibration reduction system enables handheld shots even at 300mm in less than bright light.

I bundled this with my purchase of a D5500, and it's a great addition! It complements the 18-55 that come with the base kit, and is a great lens for taking on day trips or vacation without adding too much extra size and bulk

Fantastic quality construction; not too big for a zoom of this amount; and the quality is very very good

none

I bought a month ago.. its more than amazing...

So far this is a great lens,nice and sharp. I had been shooting with a 55-200 and just needed that extra length. The VR works well at lower shutter speeds. I'm glad I got this lens.

Look for over a year and saved money for a longtime before I pulled the trigger and bought this as one of my lens. Happy I have it, have a UV filter to protect lens and loving the lens.

Shipped sameday as I ordered it and arrived day after, great price and very well packaged. product was exactly as described, will definatly use again

This Nikon AF-S 55-300mm is great value if you don't want to spend too much on a telephoto lens. It can be purchased as part of a twin lens camera package or sold separately. The advantage this lens has over the 55-200mm is the extra zoom which comes in handy for family members playing sport, travel...

I love using this lens when photographing outdoors, which I do predominantly. It brings the distance to me and allows me to capture details not otherwise evident.

I love this lense, for landscapes and architecture and those large group portraits this is The Lense. Also great lense if you like doing astrophotography. Its heavy but dont let that put you off, quality lenses are heavy, its all in the build.
