    Great lens. I was able to take great distant pictures at my daughter's Christmas play. Easy to change the lens on my Nikon D7000. I especially liked the vibration reduction feature.

    I am a beginner photographer and was weary about buying this product, but am so glad that I did! Paired with my Nikon D5200 this lens has worked wonders and provided very good photos.

    I have been taking pictures of my students at baseball and softball games up to 150 feet away. The pictures are so clear and looks like I am only 10 feet away.

    I have some other smaller lenses to take everyday pictures but on soccer games i was unable to get closer to my kid. Telephoto lenses are expensive but the day I got my d7200 best buy has a discount special if I got the camera and a lens, so I bought the 55-300mm. It turns to add more weight to my d7200 but at the end of the day its worth.

    While getting a great deal on a Nikon camera, saw this lens on sale as well so I decided to go "all in". Although I have not used it yet, I have great confidence it will work as well as my other Nikon lens.

    While the weight may be "not so great", I'm still just not used to owning a nice camera. I doubt I will consider that a con for very long. I would definitely recommend this lens for novices like myself, since it is easy to use.

    If you're frustrated by being limited in taking distance shots, get this lens. I have seen it for less online elsewhere, though. But I do enjoy getting Rewards Points!

    Have always used a point and shoot. .Something new for me to learn and explore more about photography. .. Two outstanding representatives from Best Buy have helped me and are always there to answer questions. . Bob and Shamika... Located in Glen Burnie, Maryland. . Their customer service could not be any better. This is the main reason why I return to this location... =)
