Product Description
The all new high-powered 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor lens - (4.3x) - featuring Nikon's Enhanced Vibration Reduction (VRII) technology is ideal for sports, wildlife, travel and portrait photography, among other telephoto applications. It incorporates many of Nikon's most advanced lens design attributes such as Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass, Silent Wave Motor technology (SWM) and Enhanced Vibration Reduction (VR II), in a design engineered for use with both Nikon DX format digital and 35mm film SLR cameras. With a high-powered 70-300mm focal length range, the lens is ideal for sports, action, wildlife, travel and portrait photography, among other telephoto applications. When used on a Nikon DX format digital SLR, this lens approximates the picture angle performance of a 105-450mm lens on a 35mm SLR camera. Beyond the lens' incredible optical versatility is the benefit of Enhanced VR II Vibration Reduction -- an innovation that makes it possible to take substantially sharper handheld pictures at slower shutter speeds than would otherwise be possible. This provides the distinct advantage of being able to shoot more effectively in a much broader variety of challenging conditions. With the new Nikon VR II advantage, users can take pictures at shutter speeds as many as 4 stops slower* than they ordinarily could shoot without the image degrading blur associated with camera shake at slow shutter speeds. Nikon's advanced VR technology further enhances picture taking potential with a choice of two modes to match most shooting conditions. VR Normal Mode primarily compensates for camera shake, and includes automatic panning detection, as well as automatic tripod detection. VR Active Mode effectively compensates for vibration in situations where it is more pronounced and more frequent, such as when shooting from a moving vehicle. To further ensure outstanding optical performance, the 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor features two Extra-Low D

 Pro quality at an affordable price July 29, 2010
Joe Smith (Bowie, MD United States)
I will make this short and sweet. This lens is good. One of the best bargains out there. On my D60, it balances sweetly and gives you the feeling of a pro. The rubber barrel of the lens is smooth during focusing and auto focus speed is relatively fast for a f/4.5 lens. The optics is near tack sharp out to 250mm which will cover your zooming range 95% or more of the time. Although not an indoor lens you can get good pics indoor but my companion to this lens is the ultra light weight and cheap 35mm f/1.8 ($199) which covers most of my indoor needs (except sports). With those two lenses you are well covered most of the time. My last purchase hopefully this xmas will be the 105 VR. In any event this lens can be had as low as $390 (fairly used or refurbished - like mine) from eBay (appologies to amazon).
Great lens July 26, 2010
I have had this lens for a couple of months now and it is by far one of my better lenses. I have shot closes up pictures of plants, insects, birds etc... I have it mounted my Nikon D90 and it is just perfect! I very recently bought a sigma 150-500mm telephoto zoom lens, and it should arrive tomorrow. I hope it will be as good as this lens maybe even better. For any average to professional photographer, I highly recommend this lens. The lens will not fit in small camera cases but in medium size cases (what i have) it fits snugly. Like i said, the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S Zoom Nikkor lens is perfect for photographers average to professional.
Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Zoom July 21, 2010
Brian D. Pence
This lens is amazing for the money. One of the best bang for the buck!!! I did a lot of research before purchasing this lens. I did a lot of searches on lens review websites and was fortunate to test a couple of lenses to narrow my decision down to a couple of options. In the end, I chose this wonderful zoom lens. I takes some great photos when paired up with the Nikon D90 camera body. I am what you would call a pro-sumer photographer, just starting to sell my work. I can't justify stepping up to the $2,500 pro bodies or $4,500 pro lenses. So if you want a excellent quality lens that can take some amazing quality photos at a reasonable price (for the photography world that is), I would recommend this lens to anyone.
Awesome Lens for the price! Get one... July 19, 2010
J. Moro (Stratford, NJ USA)
This lens is excellent. I purchased mine here on Amazon to shoot a GrandAm Daytona Prototype race where I was granted media access to all sections of the track and pits. WOW. This lens is FAST focusing and SHARP. The only drawback is that I was not used to the length and I kept smacking the lens hood into the Armco barrier.
I shoot with both a D700, and a D300. Since the D300 has the 1.5x crop factor, making this lens a 105-450mm I used it, handheld to shoot 5,011 images in three days. I also used the D700 with a 28-200 mostly on the wide end for pit action such as tire changes, etc.
All I can say I can't be happier with my purchase!

Buy and use this lens, you will not be sorry. I am very happy with autofocus speed and sharpness on my D90 and D50. My only gripe (personal to me because of a physical handicap) is the weight. It's a tad heavy for me, but I grin and bear it. The struggle is worth the results.
