Getting rid of two lenses for this one broad range zoom is a big win for me. I no longer shoot professionally so no longer need a case full of prime lenses. This lens, a super-wide zoom, and a super-telephoto zoom and I am ready for anything. Image quality is there for what I need.

I already had Nikon 18-140 and 70-300 lenses, but I brought my D5500 Nikon body into my local BB to try out the AF-S Dx 18-300 F/3.5-6.3g Vr just to see if the cost would justify itself, as all the reviews I read everywhere suggested. Obviously, they did, and since then, the lens hasn't left my body and I sold the other two.
I'm not a professional photographer. I'm a traveler who loves to record and photograph what I see and experience, and that means that I may see something close up, or far away, within the same minute, and I haven't the time or desire to change lenses. This 18-300 has changed my photographing life and made it so much easier, and lighter. I recently had a job covering a rocket launch and was able to capture wide-angle views to include the crowd and in less than one second later, capture close-up views of the gimbaling rocket exhaust. Yes, I'm educated enough to know that one item cannot be perfect to fit every extreme, but this lens is so small, compact, fast, and responsive in focus that I've stopped the infinite quest for "another lens."

Excellent range (18-300), light weight, good glass, fast. Note that it does not come with a lens hood. If you buy one separately, note that there are two different 18-300 models with different diameters. This lens takes the HB-39 and not the HB-58 hood.

If you dont want to change lenses all day long and travel light then this is the lens for you. Do not expect pro quality photos from this f3.5 to 6.3 lens. You will however get great range and great photos all day long with a light and easy lens to use. If you want to do portrait or landscape, I suggest you purchase a specific lens in addition to this. This is much better than the kit lens that comes with the Nikon cameras. 18 to 300 is a huge range with flexibility that is unmatched. I love it.Yes I recommend it.

This Nikon Af-s Dx Nikkor 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3g Ed Vr Telephoto Zoom Lens works great on my D7100. It has good reach while keeping good clear pictures.
It is a great walk around lens for your DX camera.
