    Unbeatable convenience and acceptable image quality

    You can't beat the convenience of this lens. It goes from 28mm all the way to 300mm and is respectably sharp at f/8 at the long end and f/5.6 at shorter focal lengths. It's not as sharp as my pro glass, and the contrast isn't quite as good, but it's a miracle that it is as good as it is given that super zooms are always optical compromises. VR is good enough that I can get sharp photos most of the time at 1/30 of a second, and maybe 50% of the time at 1/15-1/20. My copy had a slight front focus that needed +1 AF Fine tune to correct. I will say that if you are a hard core pixel peeper who uses professional glass, you might not be happy with this lens. But if you aren't the kind of person who looks at their photos under a magnifying glass, you will love the versatility and convenience it brings. I have included a handful of pictures I snapped with it tonight. All handheld, the VR is pretty good and when combined with the high ISO capabilities of modern cameras lets you shoot in fairly low light levels, as long as your subject is still.

  • Top critical review

    Good overall, walk-around lens but not good in low-light.

    I'm satisfied overall with this lens, it's sharp, the images are clear for the most part but when zoomed in all the way to 300mm it's not perfectly sharp. It's not good in low-light because of the 3.5 maximum aperture but you have to know what you are getting. If you shoot with ISO 600-800 you'll be fine with the low-light but the image quality suffers just a bit. Not happy with the focus noise of the lens when making a video in continual auto-focus. That's just obnoxious.

  • The Nikkor 28-300mm VR AF-S

    I received this lens a few weeks ago. I briefly read the instructions and put it on my Nikon DF. There is a small lake just west of my house. There were a couple of families of geese that were spending their time swimming in the Lake and walking along the shore. I turned on the Vibration reduction and extended the lens to its 300mm. I am a victim of familial tremors. The VR system worked so well that the image was very clear hand held!!! I tried several other shots and they were all great. I have used the lens in other situations, and, considering its extreme zoom range, the results are extraordinary. At the extreme short focal lengths there is noticible barrel distortion, but it is not severe. The price of this lens is very reasonable when one considers its complexity, and overall quality. It looks like an extremely good lens externally, and its function seems to confirm that. It is rather heavy, but there really is no way to make a lens like this come out light. Optical diagrams and specifications make it plain that it is extremely complex, so really is amazing that it is as light as it is. It weighs around 800 grams, similar to the Nikon DF. Because of its extreme focal length variation it is somewhat like having a whole case of lenses at the fingertips. The lens mounts on the camera properly. The zoom collar is neither too stiff nor too weak. It is easy to hold. It extends a lot as the focal length is zoomed to 300mm, but that is the result of optical principles. It does not have a tripod socket, but it woud be difficult for the manufacturers to find a place to put one! It seems to be an unusual value with a lot of quality for the money.

  • Great lens for the hiking landscape photographer

    I really like this lens. In most cases it is very sharp and any delay in focusing quickly is relative. In my case, manually focusing is often ncessary. I can see some photographers wanting a faster lens and my take on that is this: if I was shooting a specific kind of image and subject that demanded quick auto focus, I would recognize the need for such and rent or purchase a fast prime of the focal length required. I like this lens mostly because it is as good as it is with the wide range of focal length and very compact. The weight doesn't bother me because Im not a sissy photographer that whines about how heavy his tools are. I use a tripod most of the time and often at night, so the weight of the lens isn't an issue for me. The vibration reduction helps tremendously when shooting handheld, especially with the lens boomed out at 300mm. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to minimize the amount of lenses they carry with them and is looking for this focal range. There are better set ups that can be achieved with better lens combos of course, but for the weight and the money I'm happy with this lens

  • Best all around Nikon Lens for the Money

    What I’ve seen and read and worked with it first hand it’s the one lens you want in your bag ! It really does it all , liked one expert said if you want a telephoto get closer ! Lol And you can thousand times more are very heavy and expensive

  • Surprisingly good

    Yes the lens is slow but for many situations I can easily work around it. If you need just one lense it can be great unless you're hiking because it's big and heavy. Fortunately is has a 28mm lock position which holds the lens from zooming in while off your shoulder. Having to use that switch is a pain in the ass. On the plus side I have made extraordinary prints from this this lens. It can do what I want but it sometimes takes a little experience to know how to make it work for you.

  • Does-It-All Travel Lens

    My wife and I write travel books: she does most of the words, I do most of the photography. This lens, plus a 17-35 Tokina, pretty-well does all we need. It focuses quickly and silenly. Image quality is excellent for on-the-fly shooting. If there's one thing that's an issue, it's the weight: this is a heavy lens.

  • Great multipurpose lens.

    I am an amateur photographer and this lens allows me to shot close up and far away shots. I carry it with a standard 50 mm lens for low light and do not have any issues. May not be as clear as a more expensive lens but is clear enough for my purposes. I highly recommend this if you want one lens to shoot different type of settings with.

  • Great Lens, image a little soft at 300mm

    A quality Nikon lens, perfect walk around lens at 28-300 range. I would have given it 5 Stars but I feel the image is a little soft at 300mm. I plan to perform a AF fine tune on the lens to see if it sharpens the image at 300mm.

  • Incredible Workhorse

    Replaced a bag full of lenses. Were some of them better at their specific focal length? Sure. But this lens is the only lens I need 95% of the time. And most of the other 5% of the time I'm probably bumping into my own limitation as a photographer and not the lens' limitations. Seriously, there's almost nothing this lens can't do. It stays attached to my D810.
