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 lens is a good all around zoom that still allows for a good far off shot with the 55 mm setting while bringing the subject you are shooting in closer with the 300 mm zoom feature. This lens will basically stay on the camera all the time because of its universality.

    At 55mm at the lowest aperture f4.5, I was able to get nice close up shots with a bokeh background effect. At 300mm long exposure distance, I was able to get clear crisp pictures. I love this lens!

    Nikon quality is consistent, and this lens is yet another example. I have a Nikon D3200 and use this lens for photographing birds here. I could not ask for a better result...clear, crisp photos.

    I had a referral from a friend to buy this lens. Couldn't have asked for better. I used it while overseas and was able to get some pretty good shots with this. I'm not a professional by any means but it worked great for my needs

    I bought the new lens to go with my new D5200. The combo works amazing. Took it to Xgames in Aspen and got amazing photos of the Snocross, snowmobile freestyle and long jump. Highly recommend

    Needed a lens for my D5300 that could have great detailed motion and far away shots. This lens definately did the job! Everyone seems to knock the plastic construction but it seems sturdy. Great Nikon lens for a decent price!
