      Nikon 70-300mm VR Lens - Great Fun!

    I decided after 15 years to upgrade my long zoom lens from an old 70-210MM non D to this spectacular lens. It incorporates some on the best features that pros have come to love. The silient wave motor is fantastic, quiet and fairly quick. The 2 ED elements help make the pictures look sharp even at long distances. The VR feature is just plain amazing. I dont have the steadiest hand but with this feature in good light I can go to about 1/30 or 1/15th if I am lucky; which in most cases eliminates the need for a tripod. For the price you get a nice piece of glass that is the equivelant of 450MM on a Nikon digital (I use a Nikon D50).

    Some issues - It is very much a plastic lens and is made in Thailand. I suggest a good UV filter that is multicoated (that can be $50+, but hey you put down $450+ for the lens). I do have an old 80-200MM 2.8D ED push pull that this lens will never be mistaken for, but that lens weights about 5lbs and not easy to travel with.

    All in all a great amateur lens to have fun with and enjoy!

    This is a great lens. I shoot with a Nikon D40 and am sort of limited by the selection of lenses I can fully make use of. I upgraded from the Nikon 55-200mm af-s vr lens to this one. The extra 100mm of focal length is great to have. Like horse power, you can never have too much focal length.

    These are the things I like about the lens:
    Great build quality
    VR works great even at 300mm
    The manual/auto mode is a useful feature that let me easily fine tune the focus
    The lens is compatible with full frame cameras, in case I do upgrade in the future

    These are the things I don't like about the lens:
    The weight and size can be cumbersome (but that's expected)
    No tripod collar
    The zoom ring is stiff to help prevent lens creep but requires more effort to turn when zooming
    Minimum focusing distance is 5ft

    In my opinion the pros out weigh the cons. They are just minor things. The image quality is great for everything I shot so far.
