    • Great lens for travelers
Excellent lens for travel. Lightweight and well made. Moderate noise in lowlights, but versatility outweighs the noise. Crisp and sharp images at most focal points. Fast autofocus. Overall a good quality lens for the price.

    • A Great Lens for Traveling
I got this lens for traveling because of its weight, telephoto zoom range, and its price. I was using a Nikon Z9 and traveling in Mexico and got some great daytime pictures of Birds in Flight diving in the shallows for fish. I also used it indoors in Japan for a Sumu Wrestling competition. I got some exceptional pictures using ambient light from about 30 yards away. It also worked extremely well for daylight landscape pictures. I highly recommend . It's extremely versatile and well built, ... show more

    • Great lens for Z9
I love the focal length and quality of this lens on my Z9. It’s not an S series lens but the lens focus and clarity definitely meets my needs for wildlife photography. It’s a great travel lens as it is relatively light and keeps me from having to pack multiple lenses for the equivalent focal range. It’s now my go to lens for this camera! ... show more

    • A single lens that covers wide-angle to telephoto, and produces great images.
This is a GREAT lens. It is a little on the slow side (f/4-8), but that is why it doesn’t cost thousands more. I wish it were an internal Zoom configuration, but again, the price is right! It delivers great images at either end of the zoom and throughout the middle as well. I have been shooting with it for months now and am very happy with it. It is my main travel lens. Yes, it is a bit clunky, but I like that I can replace a number of primes with a single lens. So, my overall burden of hauling camera lenses around is reduced. I am going to add a fast 35 mm lens for indoor shooting. With the new cameras, high iso’s are not as much of an issue as they used to be. And, many museums do not allow flash, so a fast 35 mm should round out my travel kit. If you are looking for a single lens that covers wide-angle to telephoto, this lens should fill the bill. And ist does it well. ... show more

    • Best Telephoto Lens for the Nikon Z50.
First shots with this lens on my Z50 Nikon (with the smaller APS-C sensor instead of Full frame) indicate like WOW!!!!! Autofocus and Image Stabilization is fast. The lens is as easy to use and much sharper than the 50-250 DX Kit lens.The Z50 with this lens including a detachable wrist strap and lens cap comes in at 2.75 lbs (1.25KG) which is perfect for my worn out 70 y.o. hands. The F stops for full frame range 4 to 8. For the APS-C it read 5.6 - 8. The field of view at the 42mm is magnificently wide around 40 degrees I think, without distortion. At full extension (600mm) the field of view is about the size of two side by side light switch cover plates. Don't expect too much Bokeh however even at maximum aperture unless the foregrounds item is really close. Now doesn't get a lens like this for the Bokeh however! There is the next higher lens Z180-600 (effectively a 270-900 with the APS-C sensor) but the lens itself which doesn''t telescope out weighs 4.3 lbs (1.96kg) and will wear you out. The Teleconverters unfortunately don’t fit physically with this lens but with this lens you won’t need one. I will eventually get an additional Nikon body,, probably the full frame 24mp Z5ii, which will add about 195g to the weight. ... show more

    • Great do everything lens
Of course this isn’t going to beat an S lens or prime lenses but it is quite capable in good light. I use it on my Z8 when I want something easily portable and there may be wildlife but don’t want to carry my big telephoto lens. I found it to be outstanding on the Z50II when I had one.

    • The Ultimate Travel & Everyday Lens bar none
This is the best travel and general-use lens ever made, and here’s why: 1. The range is unmatched. Nothing from Sony, Canon, Fuji, Tamron, or anyone else offers 28–400mm in a single lens. Once I started using it, I fell in love with that range. It’s genuinely transformative. 2. Size and weight are surprisingly reasonable. It’s not a compact lens, but it’s nowhere near as big or heavy as you’d expect from something that reaches 400mm. It remains practical for travel and everyday carry. 3. Sharpness and overall image quality. It’s super sharp across the entire focal range. Even with a maximum aperture of f/8, on a full-frame sensor it delivers excellent results outdoors and very good ones indoors under artificial lighting in the evening. From the moon to birds in flight, landscapes, and architecture, this one lens handles it all. Focus speed is excellent on both my Z8 and Z6III.I left my beloved Fuji system because the autofocus simply wasn’t good enough—even for basic family photos of a running kid (I’m not talking sports or motorsports). I seriously evaluated Sony, Canon, and Nikon. I chose Nikon because the out-of-camera colors are close to what I loved about Fuji… and because of this lens. ... show more

    • Steady and solid
I am slowly building out a lens family for my relatively new Nikon Z50, which I absolutely love. I bought this lens mostly to capture various wildlife within our yard and surrounding woods. The zoom gives me the range and reach that I need to catch all but the smallest creatures. At full zoom, it requires a steady hand to use without a tripod, but does surprisingly well. The price and weight are a bit more than I would have preferred, but you can't have everything. Images are clear and crisp. Although it isn't used extensively, I really appreciate having it when the need is there. ... show more
