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 Anastazja Pluta ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

I paid 1280 dollars for it exactly one week ago. I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality (despite being made in China)! Portraits done in muted tones don't look terrible at all (although someone with the same "fifty dollars" could probably draw things more realistically and with higher quality, but that person is irrelevant right now). As a macro lens not suitable. I was able to take pictures of the birds using what amounted to a telephoto lens for photography. The lens performed admirably, but there was one flaw: the autofocus function was unable to keep up with the fast-moving birds, and as a result, the images were smeared quite a bit. In order to avoid this problem, you should use a camera with a manual focus. Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor, it is more suitable for shooting sports and shooting where very fast autofocus is required, but they practically do not differ in picture quality, we tested it yesterday with a friend on our D90s in the same conditions with the same settings, who is interested, I'll post it on my page a little later. In overall, I feel comfortable recommending this lens to anyone who is looking for an affordable telephoto lens of high quality to use for photographing animals, portraits, or any other events that demand a decent zoom!

Pros
  • Fantastically sharp glass, and even at 300 millimeters, you can get a really decent outcome using just your hands! A very affordable price for a lens that produces shots of such a high quality, both in terms of its construction and the images it creates. A focal length of 55 millimeters is unquestionably advantageous because it enables shooting in confined spaces.
Cons
  • At that amount of money, in theory, there are none; the only exceptions are the location of the focus fine-tuning ring and a hood that is not standard.
