Review on Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED Zoom Lens with Vibration Reduction & Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras by Avut Lapnan ᠌

The lens attracts with a price (11,399). The weak point of the lens is autofocus, and everything connected with it! In low light, autofocus misses are common. Where the Nikkor 18-105 confidently clings to the subject, the 55-300 helplessly crawls with its "trunk", and only 2-3 times does it manage to confidently cling to the target! The motor sounds like the one in Nikkor 18-55, and the speed is the same. In addition, the focus ring is blocked when the switch is set to the "A" position, and it will be possible to manually tighten the ring only after switching to the "M" position. The optical stabilizer, on the contrary, showed itself only from the best side. Sharp shots at the long end are obtained up to shutter speeds of 1 / 20-1 / 10s.
