Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the exceptional image quality and impressive zoom capabilities of the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED Telephoto Zoom Lens. Many also praise its ease of use and effective vibration reduction. However, some users note that the lens is somewhat heavy and its performance can be affected in low-light conditions. A few also mention that the price point may be a consideration for some buyers.

    This lens has become a favorite with my D3300 camera - really pulls in the distant image - VR is amazing - can shoot handheld lunar shots with great detail. Highly recommended.

    I got this lens as part of the Nikon D750 package so the price came out to <$400. I used it for a lot of nature photography and the distance for this lens was very good. I scored excellent not for the quality of the lens per se, but more for the cost/value of the lens. Clearly not a $10,000 lens, but does quite nice.

    This is a great sense for wildlife photography. I already had 18-140 mm and this addition is awesome and I can clearly see a huge difference in the telephoto feature with 70-300, perfect for wildlife photography. Compatible with D7000.

    This is a great lens for beginners to use on their new Nikon D3200. It's easy use to put onto the camera and easy to snap pictures far and away. My only complaint about this lens is the weight. It is a big lens and is heavy, but I didn't tote it around unless I knew I was going to use it. I love the bag it comes with for easy storage.

    Wanted a good quality telephoto zoom lens in the 70 -300 mm lens to use with my new Nikon D7100. Great value for the price as according to research I've done you would have to step up to an over $1000 zoom lens in this focal range in order to get better photo quality. As an added benefit this lens was designed for a full frame camera, so in the future if I decide to step up to such a camera, I can still use the lens.
