Customer Ratings & Reviews

I can get great close up shots of wild animals from a safe distance and I get great close up shots with high definition.

This was a great addition to my Nikon DSLR at a very affordable price. It works as it should and I have no complaints.

The lens brings my subjects into close viewing so I can get the pictures I want that look like I am really close to them.

I'm new to the D in DSR, and it has been 20+ years since I farted around with an SLR, so who am I to judge? Still, I like it and do not feel ripped off (unlike that time in a Kansas gin joint on a payday Friday).

Like being able to take pictures from farther back. Great for taking sports pictures that the action is further away.

Our first DSLR we love it. Heard great things abu nikon and they proved true.

This is a very good lens for a beginner, its not the fastest lens and dosent have alot of fancy gizmo's. But for someone just starting out and learning about lenses ,f-stops and all that good stuff , its great

Puchased with Nikon D3300, great price for lense purchased in package with camera. Great service at Best Buy.

I had been wanting a telephoto lens for this camera since I got it as a gift and it completely satisfies my needs.

Great secondary lens and easy to switch out. Would recommend to others. The price is low for the quality you get.

I bought it for my daughter and she really likes it. I got it for her for special occasion, and sporting events.

Excellent product overall, the only concern is the ability to switch out the long range lens with another lens.

If you are serious about photography this is the lens you need to purchase. Great for starting out.

The Nicon 55-120 lens has an great use indoors and outdoors for all picture taking applications.

I use this quite a bit, and really enjoy using this lens. It is an easy choice for the amateur DX DSLR shooter, and a more flexible choice than most costing twice as much. Don't kid yourself, this lens is cheap. This is one of three Nikkor AF-S lenses to lack an instant manual focus over-ride (the other two are both 18-55 mm kit lenses#, and is primarily of a lightweight plastic construction. It feels in the hand like a cheap lens, and the zoom function sticks a bit. Optically, it has noticable distortion, although I have not seen much lens flare, and there is some fringing #corrected by Gen 2 DSLRS automatically). On the plus side, it's inexpensive, and the light weight is a benefit if you have it around your neck all day. The VR system really is a must on telephotos, and although it lacks the wide apertures required for most low light shooting, for outdoor sports the AF is fast and accurate and the quality is superb. The VR makes up for the small aperature when shooting still subjects. And I don't know about you, but lugging around an exotic $2500 f/2.8 multi-pound zoom lens sounds like a chore, anyway. As an added bonus, it takes the same 52 mm filters as both the 18-55 mm kit lens, and the 35 mm f/1.8 lens, so you don't have to carry around a stack of them. This is best matched to the second generation DX DSLRs that automatically correct the optics of this lens, and purchasing it for use on FX or film is just silly, as the image circle won't cover the frame.

I bought this lens so I could take close up shots. We tried it out on vacation and it is great!

This zoom len is a cool accessory added to my nikon camera. Worth the purchase.

Definitely takes a lot of practice to get the pictures perfect! Indoor sports turn out so so. Outdoors resulted in better pics!

Got this lens to go along with my wife's new Nikon D5100 dslr camera. She absolutely loves it.

GREAT LENS TO COMPLETE A VERY GOOD KIT. NICE TELEPHOTO LENS.
