    Captures great shots.

    Easy to use. Produces excellent photos. Love the fact that when you set the camera to a sport mode, the lens can continue to focus while you are taking the picture. You can get some very nice wildlife / sport shots. The Vibration Reduction feature on the lens does help, especially when you have the zoom near the max. Because it does have a great zoom length, you may want to think about getting a tripod for the shooting subjects that are real far away (such as the moon).

    This lens is a solid. But its aperture size is too small to achieve decent shallow DOF

    If you have a Nikon DSLR and want a nice, affordable zoom lens - this is the one. My Nikon came with the standard 18-55mm lens, which is spectacular for taking close range pictures. But I found myself limited when trying to snap a pic of something that I just can't get close to. This 55-300mm lens is almost 5.5x zoom, which is a tremendous improvement. Picture quality is amazing, even when zoomed in the full 300mm. It is a bit bulky to carry around. It's significantly longer and heavier than an 18-55mm lens. But there's really no way around that if you want a zoom lens. For $250, I'll take it all day baby. Great stuff.
