This Nikon Lens is great. I am relatively new to photography, I am shooting a Nikon D3000 with this lens. I have been taking great sports photos with it. It is a very sturdy lens. although it is quite heavy, thats expected when its a 70-300mm lens. great product, will buy another lens from Nikon in the future

Great Deal, I love the lens, its a great for everyday use walking around, hiking, fishing, hunting, sports, and just walking around while on vacation. I am looking forward to going hunting and fishing in the early spring. You get all you need to keep your lens clean and in good shape. The tripod is to small for my DSLR with the 70-300mm lens attached but its great for a small compact Digital Camera.
The VR takes some getting use to but, I will just have to learn to wait a second longer for it to stablize the image. After this winter I will have to write another review. But for now I love it and I would recommend it to all my friends. To everyone who is looking for a midrange Lens this is the one for you.
