Revainrating 4 out of 5

No complaints, I recommend the product for purchase.

Excellent optics for the price that are suitable for casual shooting. Do not shoot sports unless you have access to light filters; otherwise, you are free to do so. While taking photographs of natural settings while utilizing light filters, such as polarizing and gradient filters, the resulting images are noticeably more stunning. Since all three lenses—the 18-55, the 35 1.8 (indoors), and the 55-200 IF-ED (full set, best value for the money)—have filter threads measuring 52 millimeters, it is…

Pros
  • the focus range encompasses everything that is required as well as everything that is not required; The stabilizer performs really well, and it is able to neutralize exactly the hand tremor at 300mm; The picture quality at this price is superior than that of the 55-200 and the 18-200; the bayonet is made of metal, and the trunk does not open when it is supported by its own weight.
Cons
  • 58 millimeters in diameter for the thread on the light filter; slow focus; rotation and extension of the front lens while focusing; and a little amount of backlash on the focusing ring during autofocus.

The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

For a very long time, I was unable to decide between the Sigma 70-300 and the Nikon, and as a consequence, the Nikon proved to be the superior option. For those who write that it's a bit dark in the room, then the aperture is written on the lens, and expecting from him that he will be like portraits with 2,8 or 1,8 is stupid, and I can't imagine in what rooms such a lens might be needed, the second was written about slow autofocus, when compared with 35mm 18-140, I didn't see a difference; the…

Pros
  • Sharp, decent stub, working in all portions (within reason, one should not expect miracles from him as from premium models) design that is convenient, the inclusion of a case and hood in the package, and a thread that is convenient for filters; however, there will be discomfort when using a polarizer because the lens rotates when focusing.
Cons
  • Rather than being a disadvantage, the fact that the lens hood makes a creaking sound when it is hung in the opposite direction of the lens and does not hold very tightly is more of a picky detail; however, these are all inconsequential issues.

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

No matter how stupid it may sound, but often even took portraits of him. Below are 2 photos of an example of photo quality, without fsh (I didn’t add sharpness, etc., just the built-in filters of the camera). Has pros: For the price, this is the best solution. In terms of image quality, it is not inferior to a TV set from a full card. I especially liked the sharpness, after other crop lenses, this is extremely noticeable. Also a good stub. Got cons: Terrible lens hood: creaks, spins, shakes. A…

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

I took it to the d5100 in addition to the kit 18-55 lens, the overall impressions are positive. Comes with hood and pouch. The most affordable lens of this quality and performance. Has pros: Excellent zoom, autofocus, wonderful bokeh, excellent stabilizer - pictures come out without moving, pleasant to look at and feel. Has cons: Dark, it is moderately expressed, for example, in cloudy weather. There is slight color chromatic aberration at 300mm for objects against the sky. With a hood…

The product is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

This is my first lens, like the first DSLR, a 5100 carcass. I am satisfied with the purchase. There are, of course, some minor drawbacks, but they are corrected in more expensive telephoto cameras, and this is an ordinary budget telephoto lens. Pros below: Regular budget telephoto lens with autofocus and image stabilization Its cons: Weak in aperture ratio, but in daylight and evening lighting conditions it is quite enough, all the more budget lenses have about the same aperture ratio, but I’m…

Not a bad buy, well worth the money.

In general, the device is good. Satisfied. Got pros: Decent zoom. An excellent stabilizer at any distance with adequate shutter speed. Good optics, compared to a whale, the colors are more vibrant and realistic. Fast focus. Works great with depth of field. Different cons: In autofocus, he lives his own life, which was not observed on others. In the same position and focal length, it can take its own focus for each picture. This behavior is unfortunately not predictable. Autofocus also resembles

Best product I have ever reviewed, I recommend it to everyone!

I bought this gun because I wanted to shoot birds and objects that I couldn’t get close to. I was surprised by the price, sharpness, which is at a fairly high level, although the more you hold down the aperture, the more of the frame will be sharp. The maximum sharpness across the frame is around f 11-16 and around 70-200mm. I was also surprised by the stub, you hold down the focus and the picture freezes, but it doesn’t always save. I focus on one point, and there are no problems with…

Pros
  • + sharp + 300mm quite working (does not lather like a tamron) + metal bayonet + stabilizer (at 55mm it can be removed from hands without problems from 1/4 second) +price + hood, pouch
Cons
  • - slow autofocus - the sharpness is higher, the more the aperture is closed (I have maximum sharpness at f 11-16)

I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

Although there are drawbacks, but let's be honest, at this price, these are more features. Although it lathers from 200 mm, the picture is still clearer than on nikkor 55-200 (I tested 55-200 before buying). The stabilizer is really excellent with a shutter speed of 1/15 without problems (with the necessary skill, 1/4 is also possible). In general, I am satisfied with the choice.

Pros
  • - Build quality. - Very sharp on a segment up to 200mm. - Stabilizer - Price
Cons
  • - from 200 mm and further lathers. - slow autofocus. - dark - no macro mode.

Everything is fine, I liked the product, I bought it for a reason.

All in all, an excellent piece of glass for its price range. If you put it on instead of a whale, you immediately notice that it is sharper. A focal length of 300 mm is enough for everything, even small birds are quite handy for taking pictures of them. It is quite possible to forgive for the rotating front lens - but an excellent optical stabilizer is put there. Included is a solid cylindrical lens hood.

Pros
  • - sharp; - the stabilizer works perfectly, no soap on the long end; - enough focal length for everything; - quiet.
Cons
  • - rotating front lens; - not very fast autofocus, but the budget zoom will not be different.

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

This lens, and also considering that previously there was only Nikon 18 -55, with which they bought the D 3100 camera itself, is really cool, the goods themselves were brought almost a week earlier than stated. They started testing it as soon as they got it, everything works, everything suits. Approaches well, sharpness too. Everything is as stated. Many thanks to the seller. This is my first purchase on this site and very successful.

Pros
  • Price The weight
Cons
  • Considering the price, there are no cons

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I expected mediocre quality, but it was a pleasant surprise.

The disadvantages mentioned above are not all manifested. The lens hood is easy to install and remove, auto-tuning is almost the same as that of Kit18-55, for a professional it can be slow, but this is not a professional. The front lens extends and rotates, but you don’t need to twist it. With a hood, the front glass is also covered. Dark is also relative. Expected the worst. In general, I doubted very much whether to take it or not. I was thinking of picking up a more expensive model. Make…

Pros
  • Price quality.
Cons
  • It is declared as an amateur, high level, and it corresponds to this.

I have been using it for more than a year, it gives a good picture on the D7000. It washes the background well, when shooting portraits (I can’t compare with fixes), focal lengths make it a good travel zoom. It annoys me with slow autofocus, which sometimes also smears, a moving trunk that rotates when focusing. In general, for such money, normal glass, price / quality corresponds.

Pros
  • Price, build quality, focal lengths, metal mount, image stabilizer, weight.
Cons
  • AF misses, pop-up front, aperture

The right product for me, the price suited me.

He took 55-200 in return for work in the theater. The focal lengths cover everything you need, but are very dark. ISO has to be pressed . Horror. Accordingly, in a room without a flash (theater, gym, etc.), due to high ISO, it is difficult to get a good picture. The stub is good, but it grabs rather slowly and does not always help when shooting moving (dancing) people. I use it for a short time, but the feeling that the picture in comparison with 55-200 is better. Especially portraits. At the

Pros
  • focal length Stabilizer
Cons
  • Dark A vacuum cleaner that even interferes with autofocus China

In general, its pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

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…

Pros
  • + Price for new or used + Metal bayonet + Rubber seal on bayonet + Excellent stabilizer! + Convenient for crop range of focal lengths + good sharpness + Interesting bokeh pattern
Cons
  • - Very slow autofocus - Frequent autofocus misses - Front lens rotates - During autofocus, the focus ring is locked - High level of chromatic aberration - Illiquid in the secondary market

The right product for me, the price suited me.

For such money - an excellent zoom lens, it is convenient to shoot animals, birds. You just have to remember to tighten the aperture on very distant scenes, otherwise the depth of field is small, not everything always fits into it. for my taste, the real aperture is 8 and higher, but with VR you can shoot with this and not only during the day - I shot it with my hands at 300mm for 1/60 of a second shutter speed - it turns out sharply.

Pros
  • Tele, sharp, shoots well, focuses pretty quickly. Not heavy.
Cons
  • A well-designed scheme. When focusing, the front lens does not just rotate - it also moves forward by 5-7 centimeters. This was not expected, not convenient. Structurally - a vacuum cleaner, you need to be mentally prepared.

I like the product very much, fully consistent with my expectations.

I bought it a week ago for 12800. Very pleased with the quality (made in China)! Portraits in soft colors are not bad, of course, the same "fifty dollars" will draw everything more realistically and with high quality, but now it's not about him). As a macro lens not suitable. I managed to click the birds - like a telephoto camera for photography, it showed itself perfectly, but with one correction - autofocus does not have time for fast moving objects, so it smears a lot in this situation, for…

Pros
  • Excellent sharp glass, and even at 300mm you can achieve a very good result with your hands! A very reasonable price for such a quality of both assembly and the resulting photos with this lens! A focal length of 55mm is undoubtedly a plus, i. you can shoot in a small room.
Cons
  • For that kind of money, in principle, there are none, with the exception of the location of the focus fine-tuning ring and a non-standard hood.

I like everything, the quality is good and the price is reasonable.

This lens is my first love. It was with him that my acquaintance with the world of telephoto began. It had to be sold in order to switch to 70-300 VR - it is devoid of all the shortcomings of 55-300. But after 3 years, I was so tormented by nostalgia for its colors and tactile sensations that I bought it again! Unlike the hard, sharp, fast and cold 70-300VR, the 55-300 is a very creative soft-focus telephoto more suited to nature photography than dry industrial reporting.

Pros
  • 1) Moderately and sharp enough at all focal lengths for any task, and the sharpness is not obsessively hard like that of the 70-300VR 2) Beautiful warm picture with amazing reproduction of natural colors and skin tones. Similar in color to Jupiter 37A. 3) For a TV set, it is universal in range. 4) Lightweight, relatively cheap on the secondary market, easy to find. 5) For the money, very high build quality.
Cons
  • 1) This glass has become famous for its dull autofocus - to solve the problem, set the AF-S mode on the carcass and the center point and you will have sharpness and hit where you need it. 2) The ugly manual focus mechanism that I didn’t even touch the ring with my hand + it’s short-stroke and loose 3) The second problem follows from the first - the front lens block rotates

I like everything, the quality is good, the price is acceptable.

For the money, excellent optics for leisurely shooting. If you don’t use light filters, don’t shoot sports - feel free to take it! When using light filters: gradient and polarizing - all the same, with them in nature, the pictures are much more beautiful. The 18-55, 35 1.8 (indoors), and 55-200 IF-ED (full set, best value for money) have 52mm filter threads, allowing the same filter to be used on all three lenses , and when buying 55-300, you will have to buy a filter for it separately, the…

Pros
  • the focal range covers everything that is needed and not needed; the stabilizer works great, the hand shake at 300mm dampens perfectly; the picture for this money is better than that of 55-200, and 18-200; metal bayonet; the trunk does not move out under its own weight.
Cons
  • thread diameter for light filters 58mm; slow focus; rotation and extension of the front lens when focusing; small backlash of the focusing ring during autofocusing.

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

Filming a theatrical scene with a flash. Everything is super. Focus is more than enough. Tried with flash and without. If the lighting is excellent and these are inactive objects, then without a flash at ISO 600-800 and a short shutter speed you can shoot, it comes out just amazing. And if they are dancing, then in order not to press the ISO, you need to connect a flash, though it gives a red tint with general plans, but everything can be removed in Photoshop. The portraits are simply…

Pros
  • -Price, price and more PRICE! -Wide range of focal lengths -Stabilizer -Good autofocus. He is not as dumb and slow as they say. - Complete set (hood, handbag - very useful things) -Compared to the standard 18-55, sharpness by the same 55mm under the same conditions is many times better! -cute bokeh! - ED glass - a consequence Chromatic aberrations are minimal. -has the so-called HRI element - a consequence of low weight. (very pleased) - Looks kinda reliable.
Cons
  • It's a bit dark, hence the price. - by 55mm. at 4.5 it soaps, and at 300mm it also soaps. You need to play with the diaphragm. - There are not enough steps of the stub for 300 mm. At 1/200 you can blur the frame. - the hood is frankly , the snapping mechanism constantly sticks and you have to suffer to remove it. - did kitoytsy.

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

I really love this glass. If it were not for the need to sometimes shoot in dark rooms, I would use it almost all the time. A little soapy at 300mm, but not always and not critical. Autofocus is not the fastest, although I got the hang of shooting even sports. Lightweight, comfortable, sharp enough - in general, for such money, there are only advantages. Of the analogues, there are 55-200, the 55-300 has a better picture at times.

Pros
  • Price, weight, focal length, stabilizer
Cons
  • Aperture
