Not 55-400mm

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.

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.

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...

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.

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!

Easy To Use; Extra range of shots; Improves Picture Quality

Slight increase in weight

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...

At the 55mm end of the zoom range, the angle of view is 28° 50', which is a little bit tighter than that of an 80mm lens on a 35mm body.

Got this lens for D7000. Performance is excellent. Best value for the price. Takes good clear pictures.
