Let me preface this by saying that I did not expect much from this 10x zoom. I ordered it because the 24-120mm was out of stock and this was in stock (for about an hour) and I was truly intrigued by a do it all zoom. Having used the 24-120mm F/4 before I knew that it would be a step down in sharpness with this lens. The results confirm that fact. I was initially disappointed in the quality when I view pictures at 1:1 on a D800. However, if all lens are judged by sharpness alone, we'd all be carrying 10 primes in our backpacks. I thought, perhaps I should order the 24-120mm and 70-300mm which theoretically would give me better quality at both ends. I ordered the 70-300mm VRII lens for comparison because conventional wisdom tells us that a 5x zoom should beat a 10x zoom in quality, right? Wrong! I've read Mansurov's review and expected the 70-300mm to as good or better than the 28-300 but my findings totally contradicted his. Perhaps the D800 has something to do with it? I could not find pictures as soft as the ones in his review. Here's the kicker, the 28-300 is a BETTER lens beyond 200mm than the 70-300mm. The contrast is superior whereas the the 70-300mm has bluish fringe color cast at the long end. At 70mm, the 70-300mm is ever so slightly sharper but again, the contrast is better on the 28-300mm. At 140-160mm, I found that the 28-300mm slightly edges out the 70-300mm, but again, contrast is superior on the 28-300mm. I have to chalk it up to the ED glasses in this lens. The corners are softer than the center. However, if you need corner to corner sharpness, a prime rather than a zoom is the lens you want. With a little sharpening post process and a resize of the image to 12MP or so, the softness is gone. The D800 is a superb camera in more ways than one. This is what it boils down to. At 1:1 pixel peeping on the D800, the difference in quality lens can be seen. Once downsized and post processed, it is truly difficult to judge the differences. For landscapes and 100% wall pictures that demand critical sharpness, you should look elsewhere. However, for me, I'm satisfied with such a versatile lens. I returned the 70-300mm and will keep the 28-300mm as a utility zoom with very decent 200-300mm range. Did I receive a bad copy of the 70-300mm? I don't know and I don't really want to order another one to find out. One thing to keep in mind is that during my test at 10 feet away from the test chart, the 28-300mm pictures are all farther way than the 70-300. Bear that in mind if you're going to use it for a faux Macro lens. There is definitely focus breathing on this lens. My rating is based on the total package not just on the sharpness alone. A 10x zoom that is equal and in some ways, sharper and better than a 5x zoom? That's a definite 5 stars. Update 6/24/12: I'm returning this lens. The distortion, even when fixed in post is still noticeable. Furthermore, I find that I refrain from shooting this wide open as it's unacceptable so it's a zoom lens that has a sweet spot at 5.6-8.

This lens is a very nice product indeed. I have it paired with a D7000 and the combo is proving very capable. With the range going from 42mm to 450mm on the DX cams it covers an awesome range. At its widest setting the lens is not all that long and when fully zoomed it does double in length but its smooth throughout and seems very sharp. The 28mm lock on the side has also proven handy when pulling this thing out of the bags as they often grip the sides of the lens and will extend the lens in full on the way out when not used. Just hanging around your neck the lens does not move in the slightest though. The A/M focus setting on the side is great, full auto can be overridden anytime whenever you grab the focus ring. I would have liked to see the focus ring position or width changed a bit but it's very usable as is. On the value side of things this lens will save lots of money with all the lenses people will be able to avoid purchasing altogether. In addition you will not have to worry when you're on the way out the door with what lens to bring because you will always have an excellent choice at the tips of your fingers. If you are a fan of wide shooting like me you might consider adding the something like the Nikon 10-24mm which would round out the wide end of things. Toss in a nice prime 35mm or 50mm from Nikon for some low light shots and your all set with a trio of lenses that will be as much as anyone will need outside of the Pro world. Truth be told I have not taken this lens off since it arrived, I have been thrilled with its quality and range. There is nothing like being able to shoot someone or a couple across the table from me and then point the lens over the railing and grab a great telephoto shot the next second. I used to miss shots fumbling around changing lenses but now I am all set no matter what I point at. So if you're looking for a quality lens that is very well rounded and do not mind a little extra weight (actually its extremely comfortable when compared to my 70-300mm as it is a bigger diameter making it fit my paws better) this is the lens for you. I would not be surprised if this lens hit a limited supply status for a while once the public starts the feeding frenzy! Ohhhh I almost forgot... since this lens works on DX and FX you are adding yet another layer of investment protection if you should ever decide to take the jump up to FX.... What's not to like!

Being a serious amateur and not a pro, I have for several years cruised financially just below what has been called "pro glass" out of concern that I'd overpay and underachieve if I bought one or more of the sacred Nikon trinity. Shooting with a d300 and d700, I have purchased what can be considered among the top "prosumer" lenses, all quite good in an of themselves, yet each just lacking a little bit to crank out consistently top IQ pictures. They were among the usual suspects: the 24-85 f/2.8-4D, the 18-200mm vr, and the 70-300 vr, a sweet trinity on their own, much admired and touted, but just a little bit short of thrilling. The 24-85 has the low light and macro capability and occasionally throws off remarkable, even magnificent close photos, the 18-200 has range and good sharpness and color contrast in the middle of its focal length, and the 70-300 is excellent under 200mm. All three are relatively expensive, even as amateur offerings, and, as I say, disappointing from a lens-lover's point of view. Thus, I was very nervous about doing it all over again with the even more expensive 28-300mm vr; that is, getting a lens that was quite good but not quite good enough. Well, at last, here is a lens that despite its obvious limitations in terms of size and speed, is exceptional in everything it does have to offer. Yes, it has distortion, is heavy, and has a lousy hood, but, crucially, its sharpness and color rendition over the full focal length is astonishing. At most stops, even the most wide-open, it performs marvelously due to the vr and quality optics. It has macro capability that challenges the 24-85, the versatility of the 28-200 without its irritating limitations, and even better sharpness than the 70-300mm at that lens's core compentency of 70-200mm. This 28-300mm is the lens, finally, that wannabes like me can actually think, with conviction, is in the same league as the "big glass."

Received this lens 2 days ago and took it around town and to a baseball game to try it out on my D700. Overall I am very pleased with it. The zoom range allows for great flexibility, the autofocus is fast, VR II superb as on other Nikon lenses. While the zoom is not as loose as the early 18-200mm lenses, you do need the included lock for it not to creep if you carry the lens pointed down on your camera. The weight of the lens as other reviewers say is quite comfortable - mine with clear protective filter comes in at 860g, just a touch heavier than the 70-300mm but not something you'd noticed without a scale. Build quality is very solid. I tested this lens against my 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 VR and the 16-35mm f4 VR and overall I was pleasantly surprised how well the new lens did. Three things potential buyers should be aware of: 1) while the lens is listed as 28-300mm it seems to be neither quite 28mm (the angle of view is slightly narrower than the 16-35mm set to 28mm), nor does it quite extend to 300mm (the 70-300mm gets a bit more enlargement). This is not a big issue in normal use since you'd never know the difference without a side by side comparison, but if you're buying the lens specifically for either extreme of the range be aware of this. I don't have equipment to test so you'll have to wait for professional reviews to tell you exactly what the actual range is in mm. 2) while overall I'm very pleased with the quality - no ghosting during shots I took at the ballgame despite not having Nanocoating - when you compare side by side it is not as sharp as either of the other lenses and has, as is to be expected given the zoom range, more distortion. Again nothing that would jump out at you if you just saw a photograph, but side by side especially at 300mm you do notice that fine details (textures, text) are more crisp when taken with the 70-300mm. 3) The lens very quickly goes to f5.6 - by the time you're at 70mm you're at f5.0, and by 105mm you're at f5.3. Before buying I had wondered how this lens compares to the new 24-120mm f4, and I suspect that lens is slightly sharper and if you shoot a lot at portrait length you will fine the full extra stop (f4 vs 5.6) to be quite useful. Note I have NOT actually tested the 24-120 since it' not available yet. And of course that lens is about 25% more expensive. Overall I'm very pleased with this lens, and despite the difference in sharpness this lens will be replacing my 70-300mm in my bag for most purposes - pretty much the only time I'd take the 70-300mm would be to specifically shoot wildlife or objects I know will be far away and I'm trying to keep the weight down (and obviously if you're really into wildlife you should get yourself a faster longer range lens than the 70-300mm). Basically with this lens and the 16-35mm you cover an amazing range in two lenses and both of them are excellent lenses with AFS, VR II, etc.

Really good lens. It’s not very sharp past ~200mm but it really has a look and it renders colors and contrast exceptionally well. This is a fantastic travel Lens as it’s not very heavy and not extremely large either. I’d been looking for a NIKOR lens for my mirrorless that can replace this but haven’t found anything with this range that looks as great as this lens’ pictures when edited in post. It really has a je ne sais qois - something intangible that’s really special.

My usual prime lens is the Nikon 24-70mm, and a great piece of glass it is. I also routinely carry the 70-200mm, which is superb. I like to photograph action events - motorsports, roller derby, etc. During the course of an evening at the sprint car races, I shoot maybe 300 frames over a period of four hours, using the 70-200mm, and therein lies the rub. I have a fair amount of arthritis and some accompanying deformation in my left wrist, as well as some mild involvement of my left hand. As great as the 70-200mm is, I get awfully tired of holding it for that long, and also, it hurts. After photographing an event last weekend, I was babying my wrist and hand the following morning and remembered I had in the last few months read a review of a new release of a Nikon 28-300mm, or something like that. I went to Amazon's web site and checked out the features and price of the lens, and also what the reviewers had found to say about it. That information was enough, and I ordered it Monday and received it on Thursday. And it's a great lens at a great price. A real value. Yes, the barrel extends, unlike the 24-70mm and 70-200mm, when you rack it out to 300mm, but even fully extended, it weighs enough less than the 70-200mm that I know I'll be able to shoot with it through an entire evening wihtout discomfort. The quality of the initial photos I've taken with it has been sufficient to convince me that, in addition to using it at events, I'll be making use of it for much of my photography as my prime "walk-around" lens. That said, the predecessor to this lens took a lot of criticism due to the lens' propensity to "creep" out to full extension when carried lens-down on a shoulder-strapped camera. Supposedly, Nikon put effort into this version to cure that problem, but guess what? It still does it. But if it bothers you (and it indeed bothers me) Nikon also has equipped this version with a lock button, which will absolutely prevent the lens over-extendng itself. You just have to remember you've locked the lens when you put the camera to your eye and can't get it off the 28mm setting. No big deal. I still keep the 24-70mm mounted on a camera body in my bulging bag, and because I have no room left for any additonal glass, I've decided to keep the 28-300mm in its case just inside the door of the liquor cabinet, which is just inside the door into the garage. The idea is to keep it handy to grab on the way out to go picture taking, because I just know I'll be using and enjoying it a lot.

I've shot events with this lens on a D-800, D-4 and D-810 and have been very pleased with the results. The lens focuses fast and accurately and I haven't noticed it "hunting" any more than any of the other lenses I have. The VR works well, though my shutter speed choice is usually constrained by subject motion rather than camera shake. The lens is sharp, even when "pixel peeping" at 100% magnification in D-810 images (36 MP). Sharpness is more likely to be affected by motion (subject or camera) than by the optics in most real-world situations that don't involve a tripod. Related to that is the lens' only real downside - it's fairly slow - so for action (anything requiring a shutter speed faster than 1/200th sec) it's pretty much an outdoor lens unless you want to use a flash. Shooting at high ISO will get you the image, but then the sharpness will be degraded as well - so if you have to shoot action in the dark and need lower noise, an f2.8 lens is a better (and much more expensive) choice. There is quite a bit of distortion, especially at 28 mm, but Lightroom corrects this quite handily (and many cameras can be set to correct this if you're shooting JPEGs). For what it's worth, I only shoot raw files. This is my primary lens on my D-810, backed up by a 1st generation 70-200/2.8 VR and a 50mm/1.4.

This lens fills a specific niche: an all-in-one super zoom for a full frame camera. It will probably be adequate for casual vacation snapshots when you can't or don't want to carry multiple lenses. However, if you've been using pro glass (such as any of Nikon's f/2.8 zoom lens, or any of Nikon's prime lenses), you're going to be disappointed. I concur with expert Thom Hogan who writes: "Good news: for a super-zoom, it's not bad in the center when stopped down a bit. Low to Medium vignetting (at extreme focal lengths), improves rapidly. Bad news: it's a superzoom, so on the mega-pixeled D8xx bodies it's less than perfectly sharp over much of its range, even stopped down; it's especially soft in the corners in many setting combinations; it has visible chromatic aberration (though less than the 24-120mm), it also has considerable focal length breathing. Overall: On a D8xx even in the center it doesn't have the acuity bite I want to see out of a lens I'd leave on the camera most of the time. Not to say that it's a bad lens, but it just doesn't rise above the bar for me, especially on the D8xx bodies. It's actually a reasonably good lens on the Nikon 1 bodies with the FT1 adapter, and it's probably an acceptable general purpose lens on the D6xx models for most users, as well." In short, this might be an adequate lens for most hobbyists, but it is definitely not for pros or enthusiastic amateur shooters. For the later group of photographers, stick to Nikon's constant f-stop zooms and prime lenses.
