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...

Great reduced weight, but of course, the quality is not to be compared with my previous zoom lense which was twice the price, almost twice the weight, and twice the quality!! However, it is great for it's price.

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.

A wonderful piece of equipment and nicely made. Super clean glass (and make sure it stays tat way!) that takes crisp photos.

I was very excited to open this lens when I got it in the mail; I bought it specifically for comet PanSTARRS and ISON (which will be arriving later in the year) as well as to extend the possibilities of range since I like to go hiking far away from city lights to take images of the environment,...

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

I purchased this lens for a trip to the Pacific Northwest coast where I was hoping to capture some of the wild life, Sea Lions, Whales, Seals & Elk. Mission accomplished. The 300 zoom was just enough to get some great shots.

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

Delivered Lens Hood with broken lock. See attached image. Lens are in good condition. Only issue is with lens Hood. If possible replace the item.

I've used this lens for a variety of situations and it works beautifully for the most part! It works the best in well lit areas when your subject isn't doing a whole lot of moving. The poorer the light and the more movement happening, the longer it takes to focus, even compared to other lenses.
