Product Description
This high-power 4.3x telephoto zoom is a versatile and lightweight answer to bringing family action closer. Lightweight 4.3X Telephoto zoom lens for SLR cameras that set aperture from command dial on camera body. Ideal lens for candids, travel and sports photography. D-type design provides precise distance information for flash and ambient light exposure process. New G-design enables apertures to be selected from select Nikon AF SLR camera bodies. NOTE:Autofocus is not supported by DSLRs lacking an autofocus motor, such as the D3000-series, D5000-series, D40, D40X, and D60, where the lens may be used with manual focus only. With Nikon autofocus cameras, first turn the zoom ring until the desired composition is framed in the viewfinder before performing autofocus. For manual focus, focusing is possible at any focal length, but is easier at longer focal lengths, because the image is larger and depth of field is shallower. If your camera has a depth of field preview (stop-down) function, depth of field can be observed while looking through the camera viewfind. Accepts Filter Type - Screw-on.

I have had this lens a little more than a week and have been very impressed with auto-focus speed (assuming enough light, but see below), sharpness, and basic lack of notable aberrations. I am using Photo Shop CS5 for processing and both the raw-image and main dialogs provide (from Adobe) distortion correction profiles for this lens. A plus. I am using a 16-bit per color channel process and typically making 13" x 19" prints, occasionally with some cropping. This is enough magnification to see most sorts of lens flaws. Given this setup and my DX camera, I'm rating this lens five-star.
Whenever I get a new lens, I practice using it around the house and neighborhood for several days to become acquainted with its quirks. I did so with this lens and found two quirks that are noteworthy. First, this is a BIG lens, particularly where extended to a full 300mm and the lens shade is snapped on. In fact the weight makes it difficult to hold steady and the focal length amplifies user shake. I had to practice my technique so that VR and me together could take super pictures. If you have enough light to shoot at 1/100 sec or faster, this problem will seem to go away. However, if your technique isn't good, you will end up with a sharp picture offset somewhat from what you thought you were shooting. In other words, you need good technique (or a tripod or a monopod) to supplement VR at all shutter speeds. Another issue caused by length and weight is that it is much harder to steady the camera when used in portrait orientation than in landscape. This is because the camera grip on Nikon cameras is put on the right and that means it is on the bottom (or top) in portrait mode. Since your wrist is twisted, it is harder to steady. Second, auto-focus wont zip from 70mm to 300mm or vice versa in most instances. My advice is to use the manual focus ring to get close to focus when you start way out of focus. Make it a habit to do so. Otherwise, you will miss some pictures while the lens stays confused. Depth of field is negligible when you use a long telephoto and 300mm qualifies to that description. So the lens needs some help. It's not the lens' fault, it's just physics.
I bought this lens to replace my Nikon 55-200mm VR. That lens is great and costs less that half as much as the lens I'm reviewing. I believe the new lens is worth the extra money but the 55-200mm is certainly a good alternative if budget is an issue. The extra 100mm on the long end is worth it and the lens is sharper, to my eyes, at equivalent focal lengths. Of course you are considering buying this lens because of the extra 100mm or because you have a non-DX camera and have no other Nikon choices in this price range. The build quality is also better; since I don't plan to bounce either lens on the floor, that is a minor consideration.
After a bit of research it seemed like the solution for my problem was the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR. After receiving the lens, the first thing I noticed was its build quality, size and weight. Overall the lens felt more professional.
Even though the body of the lens is “plasticy” it has a heft to it. For me the added weight was not a con. Honestly, it seemed like the camera was more balanced while shooting. Initially the zoom ring felt a little stiff. However, after a bit of use it felt more fluid. The focus ring felt fluid from day one. After taking several shots it became apparent that the focusing system was much quicker than the 55-300mm. Even in low light the AF system would quickly lock onto subjects.
The vibration reduction (VR) was a treat to use in low light situations. However, I was a bit concerned the first time I used it. With VR enabled and a 1/2 press of the shutter release button you'll hear an annoying clicking sound. The first time I heard the sound my heart sank. Thinking I’d received a defective copy, I prepared to ship the lens back to Amazon. However, before returning the lens I did a little research. A quick Internet search on "Nikon 70-300mm VR clicking sound" produced pages of results. Thankfully the sound was not abnormal.
So, with the scare out of the way I commenced to taking more photographs. After transferring the photographs from the camera to the computer the first thing I noticed was how sharper and more vibrant they were. They were so sharp that I had to throttle back the in camera settings used for the 55-200mm lens.
Overall, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using this lens. The reaction from parents was further confirmation that I made the right choice. If your application is sports photography with plenty of light this lens will get the job done.
If you're thinking about upgrading from the 55-300mm to the 70-300mm for well-lit sports photography, do it.
Top reviews from other countries
Some reviewers have mentioned it to be less than sharp at certain zoom ranges and f/stops, and this is true of most zooms because of the much greater amount of glass used in a zoom and you'd need to shell out thousands for a pro-level lens that is the meat-and-potatoes of pro photographers. That is not to say this lens renders bad images. It does nothing of the sort if used properly, with an understanding of photographic optics and and of light itself.
Strongly recommend this lens, and if you can score one second handed, it will be a bargain still, as the newer versions add a lot to the price yet a little in terms of overall performance. If I lost mine today, I'd go hunting for the same one again for my DX 7100
Acquistato per poterlo usare su Nikon 1 con relativo adattatore, sono soddisfatto della resa. Con questo obiettivo anche una piccola compatta come la Nikon 1 da la possibilità di fare foto eccezionali, con ingombri minimi di attrezzatura. Avevo scelto questa macchina proprio per la compattezza, oltre che per le sue particolari caratteristiche e la possibilità di sostituire gli obiettivi, ma ho sempre sentito la mancanza di un teleobiettivo che mi avvicinasse di più ai soggetti che volevo riprendere... con il suo adattatore, che permette di montare le ottiche delle reflex Nikon sulla 1, e questo obiettivo, ora riesco a fare foto a soggetti piuttosto lontani come volevo. L'obiettivo è un po' pesante ed ingombrante, ma ne vale la pena.
Me encantó el enfoque y la distancia que alcanza, he tomado fotos en las que he logrado un efecto bokeh muy bueno, el precio es demasiado bueno y te ofrece lo que esperas
Solo hay que tener en cuenta de que este objetivo no tiene enfoque automático, para eso debes de investigar si tu cámara tiene un motor de enfoque, ya que en la mayoría de los casos no leemos las características del producto.
También debes de saber si este objetivo es compatible con la montura de tu cámara, ya que para pocas cámaras no es compatible.
Aquí dejo las mejores fotos que he tomado en 1 mes que llevo con este objetivo
