I haven't used the lens much due to cold weather, but my first impressions are very good. I bought this to get more reach than my 55-200VR. I am ready to go get the great results so many others have gotten.
Excellent lense for almost every shot. You may look for a more aperture f/2.8 when shooting at low light.
Best, best, best. Don't think a minute to buy this lens; only run for purchasing that. This tack-sharp VRII lens is a real bargain.
We have used that lens for about 4 years and love however it was a bit short for shooting our daughters sporting events. Lens hood is solid as well. This is a great lens. This lens is fast enough for the casual use we give it and has not let us down at all. I would heartily recommend this to any NIKON owner. The extra 100mm is very nice and the quality is terrific. It is heavy relative to the shorter lens but not too heavy that your hands are yearning to put it down.
a plastic mount on our other NIKON lenses. Bought it for my wife as an upgrade to her DX 55-200mm f5.6. I like that it has a metal mount vs. I would say we are novice photographers and enjoy snapping photos. The build quality feels very good in your hands. Auto focus is smooth and zoom ring is smooth. Enjoy it.
and they came out sharp enough to print at 8x10 and frame. This is a great lens for outdoor sports or wildlife photography. (My wife hung them in the living room, so they have to look pretty good). You can make sharp handheld photos at 300mm. I took several photos at Disney on the safari ride (from a bouncy truck) at 150-300mm. Probably not the best for low light. need $$ fast glass for that.
