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.

    I wanted a longer Nikon telephoto lens for nature and sports photography without mortgaging the house. This 55-300mm lens fit my needs and budget perfectly. I am now enjoying getting close ups of the many birds at my backyard feeder and cannot wait for better weather to get outdoors more.

    I loved this lens. I used it to take my sons graduations pictures. They were better than what the professional photographer took! During the actual ceremony I was able to take some excellent candid shots.

    This lens was part of a packaged deal at Best Buy so I got it for $150 cheaper than if I were to have bought it separately, so it was a great value and addition to the lens collection. Got some awesome close-up shots of wildlife using this lens.

    This is a great lens for someone who would shoot long distance pictures. Pictures are great quality but never really used by the average user.

    The lens has been great for the photos I am taking right now on my trip to Alaska. Glacier Bay, Vancouver, Anchorage, and now on to Denali. Lens is a bit on the heavy side, but the results are worth the extra weight

    I 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!

    I received this lens as a birthday present and couldn't be happier with it. When using auto focus, it focuses very quickly and has taken great pictures. I had previously used Canon products but the Nikon products are far superior. Definitely recommended.

    I truly enjoy taking pictures of wildlife and of my family. I wanted a better zoom lens for my camera and I have found the zoom and quality for my pictures with Nikon. Great Job Nikon! The only issue I have with the lens is that it does add weight to my camera or bag on outings.
