Description
This high-power 4.3x telephoto zoom is a versatile and lightweight answer to bringing family action closer. Lightweight 4.3X Telephoto zoom lens for SLR cameras that set aperture from command dial on camera body. Ideal lens for candids, travel and sports photography. D-type design provides precise distance information for flash and ambient light exposure process. New G-design enables apertures to be selected from select Nikon AF SLR camera bodies. NOTE:Autofocus is not supported by DSLRs lacking an autofocus motor, such as the D3000-series, D5000-series, D40, D40X, and D60, where the lens may be used with manual focus only. With Nikon autofocus cameras, first turn the zoom ring until the desired composition is framed in the viewfinder before performing autofocus. For manual focus, focusing is possible at any focal length, but is easier at longer focal lengths, because the image is larger and depth of field is shallower. If your camera has a depth of field preview (stop-down) function, depth of field can be observed while looking through the camera viewfind. Accepts Filter Type - Screw-on.

Quite often people dismiss cheap lenses (under $200). While there are certainly bad lenses in this price range, there are often lenses that are surprisingly good. Many of these are Nikon's cheaper consumer lenses. I bought this lens for use on my Nikon D700 and D40 until I get around to buy a nicer telephoto, which would cost significantly more. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but I have been pleasantly surprised with the quality of the pictures for the price. The sharpness and colors are significantly better than another Cheap lens at 70-210mm (can't remember the brand, it was an off-brand). There are a few drawbacks to this lens, of course. This lens does auto-focus on cameras with AF and G capability, but must be manually focused on cameras that do not. This includes some other 35mm SLRs as well as Nikon's newer consumer SLRs that don't contain a focusing motor. These cameras would include the D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, and D5000. I own a D40 and can use this lens on it, but have to focus manually. You also can't adjust the aperture on old manual-focus cameras. There is also no image stabilization, therefore to take consistent sharp images in low light you need to use a fast shutter speed, which may not always be easy to do. This isn't the fastest lens either, starting at f/4 at 70mm and f/5.6 at 300mm. Because of both of these omissions this lens works best in good light unless you have a camera that performs well at higher-ISO settings or you have a flash that can compensate. I've also noticed that the autofocus is a bit slow, as well as loud. It's not as bad when the focus adjustments are small however, making it usually fine for tracking moving subjects, it just becomes inconvenient if for example you are tracking a soccer player and at some point accidently focus on the background and have to go back. The final drawback I noticed is there seems to be a little bit of distortion and softness as you reach 300, but it's acceptable considering the price of this lens. Overall this is a great deal. There are some conveniences and frills that are left out, as mentioned above, but considering this is only $130 I feel you can't go wrong. If you don't have a telephoto for your Nikon and considering this because you don't want to spend $500+, buy this. It's worlds better than nothing. Just keep in mind that the autofocus will not work if you have a D40/40x/60/3000/3100/5000.

Honestly, I dunno what I'm doing, so I also purchased the dummies book. Anyway, where I live, there's a lot of private planes that fly over and when I take a picture with my standard 18-55 lens, I can see the design on the planes pretty good. I started to wonder if I could see the people in it too with a longer lens so I bought this. I tried to snap one of the planes, and the angles sucked, so I couldn't see the people, however I was able to see great detail on the planes.. numbers and letters even! I decided to get serious and tried to take some real photos. This lens is AWESOME! Everything I took a picture of looked like it came from a magazine. I took a picture of a monarch butterfly up close. Did you know some have blue on it?? Until I used this lens, I didn't! The only thing that's difficult about this lens is that it's manual focus. To get a great shot, I can't focus fast enough and I ended up getting a picture of a super clear blade of grass and a blurry bee. :( (I'd be aiming for the bee). Also, when I THINK I have a clear shot, it turns out I don't. I've gotten better at it, so it's definitely an issue on my part, not the lens. I recommend it!

Weighing in at about 15 oz., this Nikkor AF zoom lens is a lot of bang for the buck. The zoom range is 70-300mm; if you use a Nikon digital SLR like my D70, the effective range is 106-456mm due to the 1.5x crop factor. 300mm or 450mm, this is a very powerful zoom lens for relatively little money. The maximum aperture of the lens is f4 at 70mm and one stop slower at f5.6 at 300mm. These are of course slower than more expensive Nikkor's which can go to f2.8, but for that you'd be shelling out many times more money. For most outdoor daylight photos as well as well-lit portraits, this lens does the job. At f5.6 and 300mm, you'll get a nice shallow depth of field that will give you that "professional" portrait you've been looking for. Just make sure you use a tripod. This Nikkor sports excellent optics (despite not being an ED -- see below), and is a full auto-focus lens when mounted on Nikon SLRs that can do AF on G-type lenses. To switch into manual focus on one of these cameras, be sure to set the focus switch on the camera body to M (manual) first, before engaging the focus ring. Because this is *not* an AF-S (S for silence) lens, it does not have the "ultrasonic" built-in motor and is completely driven by the camera, that's why you want to set the focus mode switch on the camera to M before turning the focus ring. Because this is not an AF-S lens, it's noisy when hunting for focus. Being an economics lens, it focuses pretty fast when there's plenty of light, but in low light situations, it can "hunt" for focus for a long time. In fact, where there's little light, you'll need to half-press the shutter button several times before the lens autofocuses properly; and don't be surprised if you have to switch to manual focus. (Just remember to set the camera's focus mode to M!) Other features missing from this low-priced lens are a macro mode and low-dispersion (called ED by Nikon). Of course, it doesn't have vibration reduction, either. Oh, if you have a digital SLR, you'll get an additional benefit of using a non-DX lens on a d-SLR: because only the central part of the image from the lens actually hits the sensor, you won't have to worry about aberrations that affect the edges, esp. when using low-cost lenses. From corner to corner, side to side, your picture will be sharp. In short, for a little over $100 you are getting a genuine Nikon-designed (but made in China) lens with excellent optics, a long zoom range, fast autofocusing in bright light, and relative light weight but solid construction. On the other hand, the low, low price means you won't get macro, ED, ultrasonic focusing mechanism, or the very best optics that much more expensive Nikkor lenses have. If you have enough money, I recommend getting a high-quality zoom lens that covers the wideangle to telephoto focal lengths. My favorite is the compact and lightweight Tamron 28-300mm Di XR LD lens sold here on Amazon (although you do give up aperture speed).

So you are looking for a good lens? You want something that will take great pictures, but you don't want to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars? Well this is the lens for you! I have used several 70-200, 70-255 and 70-300 mm lenses in stores which considering them and the answer is simple: You can't beat a Nikkor lens. This lens has excellent clarity and optics. I am the director of the Nicholas Copernicus Observatory at the University of Miami and I have extensive expierence in optics. I can tell you, without a doubt, that you wont find a better lens than this for twice the price. I have only bought Nikon cameras and lenses, but I get plenty of chances to use other ones at the observatory as different people bring their equipment to learn how to use it better. No matter how many cameras I use, I still recommend Nikon above all else. I presently use this lens with a Nikon D70s camera. There is a more expensive version available, the Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6D AF Nikkor SLR Camera Lens, which has superior optics. I highly recomend that lens if you are a professional who needs perfect clarity on sunny days for nature photography at the 300mm length. If you are an amateur or even a semi-professional, if you use this in lower light, or if you are using the shorter length most of the time, save the $200 price difference and save it toward another lens!

I bought this lens for two main reasons: I needed a lens with a bigger focal lenght than my 18-105mm, and second, i'm on a budget. So far, I have tried for a few shots during night, daylight and indoors and here are my impressions about it: 1. It is noisy when autofocusing, but I don't care about it. 2. Autofocus speed: It isn't the fastest autofocus I've seen, but it isn't as slow as many people complain to be. In low light situations trends to hunt for focus. 3. Chromatic aberration: when zoomed you will see chromatic aberration, and gets worse as you zoom all the way to 300mm, even at f45. Luckily we have lightroom to fix it. 4. Sharpness: It produces images that are sharp at 70mm, but when zooming you will get soft images. I tested some shots at f45 and they were still soft. Keep in mind, this lens doesn't have image stabilization so you will need a tripod for shooting at large focal distances. For beign on a budget this is an okay lens, works great for portaits (with a flash). Will update after i have taken this lens to real life situations and test it more thoroughly.

This works very well with my Nikon D3100. Though it requires manual focusing, there are a lot of scenarios where that's a plus compared to auto-focus. The packaging was great, the lens was very well-protected. Though it was billed as used, it came with all the original packaging and product inserts. You couldn't tell it didn't come straight off the shelf. It's much lighter that the 55-200 lens I had with my old SLR. Takes great pics in good light, very crisp. For an amatuer photographer like me, this is a very good buy at approximately a third what I would have paid for a lens with AF and VR capability. Plus I had $$ left over for filters and other lens accessories. As my dad would say, can't beat that with a stick!

Another excellent budget lens!! If you are not sure about this because of its lack of VR (Vibration Reduction) theres only a few things you need to be aware of to make this lens and excellent addition to your kit! First, with a tripod and a remote shutter release (which Ive invested less than the cost of this lens into) you can get wonderful night photos, second, for daylight shooting this lens is absolutely fantastic at higher shutter speeds, and can even dip as low as 1/80 if you have steady hands or are anchoring yourself for a low angle shot, the effective zoom on a crop sensor nikon is roughly 105-400mm , which wjen paired with a crop sensor camera (My D90 for example, or one of the 3000 series cameras or more) will give some really crisp, wonderful zoom for some fantastic daylight shots. The packaging was nice and sturdy and there wasnt a ton of extra packing stuff which was nice. Open box, connect to camera, get to shooting! I will add that I purchased this lens specifically for a music festival I was shooting for a local contemporary art museum and the results were absolutely fantastic! The long zoom on this lens allowed me to capture intimate, happy crowd moments without having to jump up and invade peoples personal space, giving everything a much more natural feel to it. For the most part, this lens hasnt left my camera since It arrived for that festival last month, and not an ounce of me regrets purchasing it!
