Customers are saying

Customers value the impressive zoom capabilities and excellent image quality of the AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm lens. They also appreciate its ease of use, and many find the lens to be lightweight and versatile. While some find the size a bit large for portability, the positive feedback on image quality and zoom range outweighs this concern for most users.

    This was an excellent choice for me as I went to a theme park recently and got some great shots of my kids on some rides. It does need to be fairly bright outside to get sharper pictures of objects that are moving since lower light levels tend to blur if the object is moving. It does very well for objects that are still after sunset lighting.

    This lens is being used to photograph high school cross country running races. It gives great close up shots of the runners across the fields.

    This lense is perfect for newbies: its cheap and it does the job done. This is better than the 55-200 zoom lens and does not cost that much. Its the best zoom lense right now for the price.

    I used this lens on the d5500 and did a lot of wildlife photography. Eventually moved up to a 600mm, but this worked well.

    A great lens for a neophyte like me. Having the VR on the camera is a big help doing some shooting even without bringing a heavy tripod. I cannot wait to fully test the lens' capability weather permitting. Having this addition for my lenses is a great one since now, i will be able to capture distant subjects and retain the crispiness of it. I love it!

    It all comes down to getting what you pay for. This is a great lens for the money. It is not professional grade, nor is it sold as such. If you want more, you are going to pay more - much more. For the casual to enthusiastic photographer it more than fits the bill.
