  • 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

  • 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

  • The Game Changer ❤️
The media could not be loaded. Game changer!!!!! I absolutely LOVE this lens! It’s lightweight and portable, perfect for travel, great for any outdoor capture on bright sun and has completely transformed my approach to photography and video editing. The image quality is almost professional, letting me capture portraits, close-ups, and high-quality social media videos. I feel confident and inspired using it every day! ... show more

  • Food all around and versatile lens
Good all around lens. This is my go to for daily hikes since it’s so versatile. Coupled with a Nikon Z5, ot has worked well. Only complaint is it’ll focus on something other than the target sometimes.

  • Outstanding !!!
Worth every penny! This is a great lens for those like me who like to travel light but still have plenty of options, this lens not only has great range 28-400mm, takes great pictures throughout the entire range, it is well built and sealed. While I havent used it for a shoot yet, just testing it various situations it has shown me that it is a very capable lens. The photos were both handheld, The wide shot :ISO 100, 28mm, f/4.5, 1/640 sec. The tight shot: ISO 180, 400mm, f/8, 1/400th sec Distance to subject; 20ft ... show more

  • Awesome lens
After two decades of old digital cameras, I finally upgraded to a Nikon Z50 II with the kit lenses (which were a good deal that would have been twice as expensive if bought separately). But for hiking and taking everything from scenes to birds, wildlife, and near macro shots of flowers, I subsequently decided that I didn't want to either have to carry both kit lenses or frequently switch which lens was on the body. So, I took a plunge and purchased this lens (once it dropped below $1000). It is relatively LIGHT WEIGHT, has incredible range from "normal" (because of my body's 1.5X crop factor) to sizeable telephoto, will focus surprisingly close (providing ca. 1:3 I think), and its onboard VR is so good that I can hand hold it at full telephoto extension at rather low shutter speeds. Although I have heard that it may not be as sharp or "flat" (i.e., no pincushioning or barrel distortion) as a set of prime lenses, I haven't found that obvious or objectionable. Of course, at maximum telephoto, it doesn't have much depth of field unless stopped down further than its max of f/8, and then one must crank up the ISO. When rapidly changing focal length, the autofocus can sometimes "get confused" (and I haven't tried it yet on flying birds), but once locked on to a focusing point it does a good job of staying there through moderate changes in focal length. I am happy that I bought this lens, and it is the lens that I will usually keep mounted on the body. ... show more

  • Great for compact..
for people asking the question of how good this lens is compared to much bigger lenses. The answer is not nearly as good.. It is a very sharp lens, but a very dark lens. If you’ve been shooting one of the older bigger lenses, you will definitely prefer the photos you get out of the larger lens.. but when it comes to compact size in portability, this is probably the best lens I’ve ever seen. So in real life, this is the Lens I carry simply because I can always have it on me without having to commit myself emotionally to the weight. ... show more
