Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got this as a gift and so far has worked perfectly

Needed a better telephoto lens and this one gets the job done.

I always wanted to buy one, and now I have it, love it

Absolutely love this lens!! By far my most favorite!

This was the prefect lens. It has met all my needs

It's good for wide angle but if you are looking for zoom lens, not recommended.

Works perfectly for my needs points and shoot is what I wanted and it does just that

Great travel lens. Zooms from landscape to wildlife before the animal or bird gets away. Not having to keep changing lenses along with the dust skirt helps to keep dust off the image sensor. Lightweight and small size adds no more noticeable weight and obstruction to an active lifestyle over the 18-105mm. Use care when focusing long. Lens hood and bag are NOT included in this sale although Best Buy conveniently includes their pictures in the item description to lead you into thinking they are. In fact, on return to the store I found that they do not even carry these items! This is my reason for the lower then perfect score on this lens.

Great lens, easy to use. Does everything I was looking for it to do.

Tele foto and still capable of close distance. Good overall lense.

Good all around lens for travels. Sharp pics on the lower end.

Boght it for my firend and he is so happy with the lens

On the positive side this lens focused very quick. Now for the negatives. Most of my pictures were not as sharp as with my 18-140mm, or my 55-300mm lenses. I was hoping I could have one lens to take the place of these two and while some pictures were sharp most of them just didn't look clear. After further testing I found that at 300mm compared to the 55-300mm it only gave a view of slightly over 200mm. I am glad I purchased at Best Buy because I was able to return without any problems.

The lens is great but does not come with a pouch or hood as shown in the website. It is very misleading.

The lense makes noise and also is little slow to focus....may be a good bet for a beginner but not a gr8 for avid photographer

The lens would not focus when it was extended. Not suitable for wildlife.

The lens is for beginners and should be about 1/3 the price that it is listed.

Tried it for diff type of events too shaky when taking pics

Compact size, full range zoom and good optics all in a nice package. A little more expensive than Tamron or Sigma, but Nikon glass has never let me down.

I am not a professional but I do appreciate good quality photos. This lens don't focus great and the colors are always weird in my opinion. I used to use the lens my camera came with and I was pretty satisfied with it until it needed a replacement. Thought this one was good because of the reviews and I decided to not give credit to the bad reviews and give it a chance. PLEASE READ THE BAD REVIEWS. I guess if you are not that picky it might be ok. But I personally like my iphone's pics better than these lens'.
