They also appreciate its ease of use, and many find the lens to be lightweight and versatile.

    I got this lens as a package with the Nikon D5500 and a 18mm-55mm lens. It provides sharp image even at 300mm setting.

    Using it with new Nikon D3200. Great with tripod and not too bad on medium range hand held. Big improvement over the last lens I used.

    The 55-300 telephoto is a great addition to any camera bag. It is lightweight and small enough to fit the camera bag along with two other lenses, a flash, and an extra camera body.

    I picked this lens up to fill a gap until I replace my 2.8f lens, and was pleased with the quality of shots and the amount of light it picks up at night on a baseball field.

    The VR setting makes it super easy to point and shoot for professional grade photography. I couldn't be happier with this lens especially for the price. I highly recommend!

    A great telephoto lens for starter DSLRs. Make sure you get the one with Vibration Reduction (VR) which is a must when taking max zoom shots.
