Customers are saying

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 was comparing with 70-300. For price, 55-700 is great lens for beginner. However, some later, I would switch into 70-300 for the quality of the picture. If you consider between these two, 70-300 is better off. However, 55-300 is good to use. - Don't forget to buy UV Protection filter - Light to carry - Work great with D7000

    I use this lens not only to as a telephoto lens but also to take portrait shots of my grand kids. It allows you to photograph the kids without being too close

    Overall, definitely glad I own this lens. I take lots of photos out of necessity when I can't get close enough. Can't wait to try it out at sporting events!

    I bought this before we went on vacation and it was exactly what I was looking for. I was able to zoom in close enough to see my girls parasailing.

    A good telephoto lense for beginners. The Vibration Reduction feature is a must for this lense. Make sure you get one with it.

    Let's face it one lens is not enough to photograph the world today. longer reach to bring far out scenes is easy with this lens.

    We bought this as an addition to the lenses we bought with the Nikon D5100 camera we own. No problems with mounting it. The wider zoom range meant we could put away the 55 to 200 MM lens. The wildlife pictures we took came out great. I would recommend this lens.
