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.

    Try and buy this with a camera to get a good deal. Best buy is usually pretty good with camera/lens sales, so make sure you wait for them. You probably won't be waiting long. It's a solid lens and well worth the purchase. The focusing at high magnification is pretty awesome. I have this and the kit lens (18-55mm) And together they are more than enough for me.

    I bought my camera on the spur of the moment while on my way to view elk. This lens allowed me adequate zoom to take good photos of elk that were a 200-300 yards away.
