Customers are enthusiastic about the AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens's image quality and versatility, frequently praising its sharpness and ability to capture a wide range of shots. The lens's extensive focal length, covering wide-angle to telephoto, is also a significant plus, allowing for diverse photographic opportunities. However, some users find the lens somewhat heavy, and others have noted that the autofocus could be improved for speed and accuracy.

Purchased the D810 camera and wanted an FX mid-range zoom since other lenses were DX. This lens has performed well at a sporting event as well as while on vacation in Norway. Couldn't be happier with the lens!

Exact lens I was looking for to fit my Nikon D850. Best Buy offered it at a competitive price and a location where I could pick it up and start using it.

I purchased this lens with my Nikon 750. When traveling, it simplifies shooting. 28 to 300 mm gives you great flexibility without changing lens.

For the price point, this is an excellent lens that you can leave on your body if you're out and walking/on a tour. You should still carry primes or specialty lenses if needed.

It did great. I tried it in low light on a D750 and it did pretty good. Took it outside and it did great playing hide and seek with my 4 year old.

This was a good all purpose lens for my recent trip. I could shoot fairly close up as well as bringing the subject in from a good distance.
