Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

I put it on the D5000. The result exceeded all my expectations. Very sharp. Good color reproduction. But you can shoot only in good lighting. On a sunny day, it gives amazing results. good health! Has some pros Price for such focal lengths. Very sharp up to 270 mm. Pattern, color reproduction at a height. Convenient and small for traveling. 105-450 mm comes out on crop. The stabilizer works wonders on telephoto. Has cons: A slight backlash on an elongated trunk (I chose from all the specimens).

The right product for me, the price suited me.

For my money, the lens is just a gift (I took mine for 14 from my hands). Which is better costs more. So for travel, walks, photo hunting (generally shooting outdoors), it is completely suitable. It’s worse indoors, because it’s dark, and even with 1,5 minimum focusing distance you can’t clear up. Take it, you won't regret it. With its pros. + sharp + fast (before it was 55-300, now it’s a brake compared to 70-300) + convenient, wide zoom ring + real telephoto ("honest" 300 mm at close…

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

I was satisfied with the lens. I got a staff member. And lately I have been working only with her. Its pros: 1. Focusing speed - it is really very decent, compared to the same whale 18-105 2. Stub - and so that they don’t write there, but it really helps. And to make sure of this, try to shoot any scene at 300mm without a stub, and even on a crop with a shutter speed longer than 1/450 from your hands. (with 1/100-1/160 stub). 4. Not cropped glass. Suitable for FF. 5. The versatility of this…

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

Specialized telezoom for operational outdoor shooting (300 mm really help). For your money, the best option: Sigma is much cheaper but pronouncedly chromate and fringes, Tamron is cheaper by 1000 and also gives more pronounced chromaticity. Pros below: Extremely fast autofocus speed and accuracy are the main advantages of this lens - it is easy to capture the moment with it, especially in street reportage shooting. On large FRs, there is a beautiful and smooth blurring of the background…

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

I bought at first 55-300 according to the seller's convincing story, although I looked at 70-300, in the evening it turned out that 55-300 was a complete, soapy crap, without sleeping half the night in the morning I changed this bucket (55-300) from the "convincing" seller, on a Mercedes - 70-300 . which I am very happy about Has some pros 100% work off their money. sharp, contrast, focus, two stub modes. With its cons. a small backlash of 300 mm (all lenses have 70-300), there is no trunk…

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

This lens is one of the few lenses that "hit the top ten". Picture quality and sharpness are excellent. The stub helps a lot in the rooms. I believe that this lens must be purchased one of the first. As another worthy option, the Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR offers great performance at a low price. All in all, buy it and you won't regret it. Different pros: Excellent quality at a low price, excellent drawing, lightweight, VR. Cons: Sometimes all the same, when wearing, the trunk crawls out…

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

a lens for specific tasks - birds, sports, household photo espionage) it is sharp, pleasant and well made. Of course, you can shoot portraits and bugs, but why? if you already bought a camera with a lens and you understand that it is no longer enough, buy a telephoto lens for a non-full-frame camera - it will have a more acceptable range. Has pros: the second generation of the stabilizer is a plus for a telephoto! price quality good picture for that money AF-it's nice that you can think…

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

The lens is a bit dark, but for such a price you should not expect something else, whoever doesn’t like it - let them buy 70-200. If you do not twist it all the way, the pictures are very sharp. In principle, you don’t need to twist up to 300, evaporation from the ground and other air distortions at a great distance will still spoil the frame and the lens will not save. If you just need to look at the bird for yourself, this is not critical of course. It is also treated by closing the…

Pros
  • 1) Very good stabilizer! 2) So far I have not found a single significant chromatic aberration in the pictures, this is very pleasing. Especially after whale 18-55 and compared to 35 1.8 3) Focuses accurately. 4) I really like bokeh.
Cons
  • 1) It eats a battery well, but it lasts for a day if you turn off the stub when it is not really needed.

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

In the first moments, I was impressed with my picture and of course with focal lengths, after the whale 18-55 VR. Then I paid attention to the noise emitted by the stabilizer, it strained me, I thought it was a marriage (pay attention to this feature when buying !), but after talking with the owners of this model, I calmed my soul (but I don’t lose my vigilance :), then I was pleased with the work of the stabilizer, works super. A picture with good colors, clear, but up to 260-270 mm further…

Pros
  • Excellent two-level stabilizer, picture color reproduction, sharp, fits comfortably in the hand, the trunk does not spontaneously move out when the lens is pointing down and when walking, metal mount, 9-blade aperture, internal focusing.
Cons
  • The noisy operation of the stabilizer (at the beginning of operation it was unusual), the aperture ratio (but it is quite enough), the minimum focal length (1.5 m) and the price is slightly too high.

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

Fellow amateur photographers, I am writing a review only to thank this lens for a long conscientious service, please do not rate the usefulness of this review, because. I don’t set a goal to describe the lens, everything has already been said before me, I just say thank you to him! He helped me out many times, especially at the stadium, especially in Luzhniki in the stands outside the goal (whoever was, he will understand), the moments of the game at the opposite goal looked perfectly through…

Pros
  • Great photos with a great zoom (especially for cropped cameras, when the focal length becomes just huge!)

I'm satisfied, it's a good purchase.

I bought this lens specifically for shooting wild animals and birds during trips to nature. Before that, I used Nikkor 55-300 for almost a year. Switched to Nikkor 70-300 due to faster autofocus. The lens pleases! Fast and accurate focusing, iron stabilizer, excellent design. Constant manual focus control helps a lot! At any time, it is possible to correct the focus, and you can use the lens as a spyglass by rotating the ring manually, saving battery power. Thread diameter for filter - 67mm…

Pros
  • - good drawing - excellent design - fast, accurate and quiet autofocus - internal focus - permanent manual focus priority (M/A) - excellent dual-mode optical stabilizer - metal bayonet with dust protection
Cons
  • - chromatic aberration - I would like more sharpness in the range of 200-300mm

Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

I have been using glass for over 3 years. Satisfied with everything, the main plus is the price, I took it for birds, animals and reporting, it fully justified itself. Don't mind getting dirty, light enough, perfectly assembled. I chose between 70-200 tamrons and sigmas, but decided not to change Nikano because I had a bad experience of friendship with sigma and the tamron decided not to risk it and take the original.

Pros
  • Price, weight, dimensions. Build quality. BLEND included (canon does not put it =) case! And filters cost a penny compared to 70-200
Cons
  • I won’t write about aperture ratio, and everything is clear, it’s dark in a room with weak light, the picture quality and sharpness suit me.

At first, I didn't shoot at all with the camera. like the picture. with a telephoto lens, new horizons of photography open up. The lens is large and heavy. In conjunction with the D300s, almost seven hundred kilos! Sometimes AF is smeared at the long end in difficult conditions (the object is against a highly contrasting background, insufficient lighting conditions). There is not much loss of sharpness at f/5.6 at the long end. It is solved by covering the diaphragm. Likes a lot of light. Good…

Pros
  • Cutting fast AF working stub beautifully washes the background on the long end depth of field big and heavy BLEND on crop 450mm!
Cons
  • dark, vacuum cleaner, big and heavy. Such an assembly attracts increased attention (((with an extended trunk and a hood put on - a monster. Minimum focusing distance 1.5 m ! noticed a couple of times haha

It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

If you work more during the day, if you are not in a hurry when shooting, if you have a d750 that will pull it out in the dark, if it is longer than 200 try not to twist it and if they offer a used one for a great price in good condition - a must have! If you shoot in harsh conditions in which only 70-200 can handle what the hell are you doing here? :) From previous comments: "compared with the Canon L-series" Neighing from the heart. Compare home telescope with Hubble even in this case :)

Pros
  • Cutting. Cutting! I did not expect this from this glass at all.
Cons
  • Don't know. Worked for them for three days. But tight. The glass is someone else's, I did not pay my own money, therefore I have no complaints about the price either. But I think it should be used.

Quality of the product is at the level, I will recommend this product

The lens, in terms of its size and weight, is at the limit of travel portability. He is smaller of course than his brighter ones to gather, but still very healthy. In good weather or in dim lighting, it draws very well up to 200, a little worse from 250 and not always, but still soaps up to 300. You can get used to the FR 70 (on a full-frame camera !) on the street and only carry it for street shooting. For a selfie, of course, it will not be very good, but a selfie with a SLR camera and…

Pros
  • up to 200.250 sharp, the stabilizer is very good, suitable for FX and DX.
Cons
  • large and heavy, in poor lighting it is very difficult to shoot (on the street during the day in any weather it is normal, but at twilight it is useless)

Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

An excellent lens for adequate money (I took a new one for 16300). Yes, it’s a bit dark and you need a flash indoors, but fast apertures are many times more expensive. Very sharp, no back-front tricks, excellent pattern and color reproduction. Portraits are excellent. It's heavy, but 300mm (on the crop) - shoot and no one pays attention to you. Conclusion - it is worth every spent, I RECOMMEND.

Pros
  • Sharp, draws great, great VR stabilization, price.
Cons
  • There are none for this price.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

I got it for myself after using 18-105 and immediately felt the difference. The picture is clearer, the lens has excellent color reproduction. Separately, I would like to note the focusing speed of this lens, which is simply lightning fast! Finally, we managed to appreciate the tracking focus mode, and even in the normal focus mode, the lens focuses very quickly and practically does not miss. Another pleasant surprise was the stabilizer, which works flawlessly. When you take pictures in program

Pros
  • 1. Sharp 2. Excellent color reproduction 3. Very fast focus 4. Excellent stabilizer performance 5. Decent bokeh
Cons
  • Focus starts to roam in the dark, but that's what M/A is for, so it's always possible to bring the focus to manual. Another disadvantage, and even doubtful, is the drop in sharpness in the range of 250-300. In my opinion, this is treated with shorter shutter speeds (because the stabilizer is good, but not omnipotent) and (or) by covering the aperture to 8, no more.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

Great lens! auto focus and stabilizer is just some kind of MIRACLE ! the stub really holds 4 steps, auto focus, even in low light, just "bites" into the dead! And the charm of the FR 300 can only be understood by trying it, and if you have a cropped matrix, then you get just a super zoom with a FR of 105-450 ! I use it in tandem with the Nikon D90 kit 18-105 and 70-300 cover all the necessary focal lengths. I recommend this lens, you will not regret the money spent !

Pros
  • The picture quality is just superb, sharp all over the frame, perfect weight, workmanship is beyond praise, auto focus speed is just crazy! the stabilizer fulfills one hundred percent! perfect for both full-frame and crop.
Cons
  • considering what this lens was created for, there are no shortcomings ! Small aperture? not very comfortable FR? compare the price with its fast brother 70-200 f2.8 and all claims to this glass will disappear! don't forget it's a telephoto lens! and his FR 70-300 are not designed to work in a cramped room !

I won’t write about darkness, I knew what I was doing. You can't buy a 2.8 for this money. I immediately bought a vertical handle, otherwise it outweighs. I didn't want to let go. I put it on and went outside, what can I say KIT 18-105 I don’t want to put it back. Finally I understood what pixel sharpness is. The same object was filmed on 70 KIT and this. This is earth and sky. KIT in the furnace. I will think about how to close the near ranges.

Pros
  • Heavy, grippy, looks very impressive on the D90. It looks durable, the rings are tight and well, the stub.
Cons
  • then I'll think

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

A good lens that gives a decent picture can be used in some cases as a good portrait lens. Two stabilization modes, you can shoot while driving in an active mode, or, for example, shoot with panning in normal mode. The movable zoom system is very clearly adjusted, there is no backlash, and even more so self-zoom when tilted, like the nikkor 18-200) When shooting birds, the focus-limiting function would not hurt, like on the nikkor 70-200 2.8 the nearest object (branch) and while focusing on the

Pros
  • Excellent stabilizer, good bokeh due to the 9-bladed diaphragm. Confident autofocus (I shoot on the D90). Silent focusing with manual priority. Suitable for FF cameras. Minimum optical distortion. Fully justifies its price.
Cons
  • There is no limiter for the focusing system, it is sometimes necessary if you are engaged in photo-hunting for birds, for example. At the 300mm long end, clarity is noticeably less than in the 70mm to 200mm range.
