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.

    I don't use it frequently, but it is good for its price. If you have more money I would go with the FX versions with better aperture

    The D3200 was my first DSLR camera after years of using small point and clicks. This was my first lens purchase beyond the mid-range lens that came with the camera. I used it a few times already and I'm quite satisfied with it's performance.

    We like this Lens very much for long distance shots. But have to carry my other lens if we have to take some close-ups.

    This is a nice lens to have in your bag. If you already have the 55-200, I wouldn't get this one also but if you are looking to expand from your kit 18-55mm it is nice to have the extra focal length if you are looking for a zoom lens already. The nice thing is at 300mm this lens is just as fast as Nikon's 55-200 at 200 and slightly faster through the range, not a big factor but still nice.

    Purchased this lens when one of the lenses from my Nikon d3200 kit broke. Excellent photos in normal outside light, but this lens is not good indoors. If you shoot nature, landscapes, and outdoor portraits, this lens is perfect.
