Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

Customer Review: Great lens for the price
Summary: 5 Stars

I just sold my 70-200mm 2.8 VR and decided to get this lens, much cheaper and lighter. I shot about 100 pictures with my D300 and the result is pretty impressive: Handheld with relatively low speed (100-250), stopped down to 8-11, pictures came out really nice, even at 300mm. VR works well. It's no match to the 70-200mm VR on low light but at 1/4 of the price and 1/2 the weight it's a fantastic deal. I only shoot outdoors and don't miss the 2.8 from the previous lens. Maybe not great for pros but excellent for an amateur like me. BTW, needless to say, Amazon rocks !

Description of Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

The AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED is a high-performance super telephoto zoom lens that has been designed to meet the demands of both digital and 35mm format SLR users. It offers a 4.3x zoom with a range of 70-300mm (105-450mm on a DX Nikon D-SLR) and features ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that ensure superior optical performance. This lens incorporates Nikon's second-generation vibration reduction system (VR II) that allows flexible hand-held shooting by stabilizing the image to the equivalent extent of using a shutter speed that is four stops faster when compared with a conventional lens (as determined by Nikon performance test). The SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and IF (Internal Focusing) ensure fast and quiet focusing action, and the nine-blade rounded diaphragm makes out-of-focus elements blend smoothly to produce natural-looking, harmonious backgrounds.
