    This is my first telephoto lense, of this size anyway. It is just incredible, very smooth operation and quick focusing. What I didn't know or consider of the 55mm - 300mm, when I purchased the lense I believed I was getting a continuation of the 18mm - 55mm, which it is. But this lense take things to a different level. I feel like I have opened up a treasure box of limitless possibilities.

    I purchased this lens in a bundle with D5300 and this is a great fit for that camera.Way better than 70-300 and 55-200.

    Nice lens for sightseeing. I recently took it on a trip to Washington DC and was surprised on how close I was able to see my subjects. I used the lens all day and after carrying it around it got a little heavy but less than I expected. I am very pleased with the quality and I am looking forward to using it during softball season!

    So far this lens has given us the close ups we needed for our children's performances at school events. We were hesitant at first but the salesman at best buy gave us the run down on how the lens worked and it was a good lens for the price.
