Nikon 70-300mm VR Lens - Great Fun!Review created: 12/28/07

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 may well turn out to be one of those bargains of the century. At the right price, a VR 300 is invaluable. I can shoot at the 300mm zoom with only 1/200th. This is also great for soccer, snowball fights, and some indoor telephoto. I don't recommend this for portraits as the minimum distance isn't practical. Using the 1.5 conversion factor, and thinking of this lens as a 105-450, it becomes the poor man's Sports Illustrated zoom.

Review of Nikkor AF-S 70-200 VR LensThe lens is fantastic - With the Nikon Vibration Reduction you really can hand-hold the camera at amazingly low shutter speeds and still get crystal clear pictures!
It's a fairly 'weighty' lens - which is good.
It's fairly fast as well (for it's price range)
If you have a regular 70-300 "kit" lens that came with your camera - then you'll LOVE this lens! It's MUCH faster (to focus)!
I'd say the only drawback is that it's heavy. (By itself is heavier than the cameras that I shoot - D70 and D50)
It also has a pretty long minimal focal distance.
Overall FANTASTIC lens! I LIKE IT AND RECOMMEND IT TO THOSE UPGRADING FROM THEIR "KIT" LENSES!
