Nikon Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G Lens

Having used this lens for several months now, I can only rave about things like color transmission, sharpness, ease of use, etc.. When you think of a zoom lens, most people immediately think of sports, reaching out and pulling in that wild animal, etc. In my case, I am a "people" photographer. I love photographing people but I don't like posed shots. I like working a room from the corner, getting those unexpected shots. This lens allows me to isolate the subjects head and shoulders and get that 'intimate' shot of people they will never pose for you and yet I'm not locked in with a 'portrait' lens.

I've gotten used to the "ooohs and aaaaaaaahs" when people see the pictures I shoot with the Nikon D50 and this lens. They are always amazed at the quality and the "sneaky" way I get their real personalities. I can not believe that it is possible to buy this kind of quality for such a low price. I liked it so well, a buddy of mine fell in love with my camera, went out and bought one, and just recently had me pick him up the same lens here on Ebay for him.

If I were doing an ad for this lens, the key words would be:
Excellent color transmission, unbelievable sharpness, Low price, Great isolation for color portraits, Easy to use, comfortable in the hands.
