    Great versatile lens!
    5
    Posted by: from Centerville, Oh on 05/21/2013I love this lens! I shoot a lot of action packed events such as lacrosse, baseball, competitve marching band, winter indoor percussion, and winter guard. I can still get great shots indoors with the lens at 300mm and not using flash. I would (and already have) recommended this lens!

    This Lens is Insane!
    5
    Posted by: from CT on 05/12/2013This lens gives you those zoom in shots that make you feel like a pro. Even if I can't get the super zoom across a stadium, I can crop the picture without loosing quality @ 13 Mega Pixel. Easy to change, Lens steadying devise works GREAT! The only negative would be you should buy at least a UV filter before you even get this out of the box to protect it, and your camera's image sensor (Think of it as sunscreen for your camera)

    Super Lens!!
    5
    Posted by: from Huntington, NY on 05/11/2013I have been adding to my camera gear, every several months or when I can afford to, a variety of lens for my Nikon cameras. For the price of this Nikon lens 55-300mm the quality of the images are just beautiful. It is worth every penny and I think you will really enjoy this new tool in your camera bag. Like every Nikon product the quality, packaging and performance it second to none. Get yourself one!!
