I bought this lens when I upgraded from a D90 to the D800 a few months ago. I had been using the 70-300 lens on my D90, and loved it. I researched a lot before buying this lens, and had some concerns about distortion, but decided to buy it for the versatility -- and at the time I did not have a...

Found this lens to be as good or better than the 24-120 F4. Very sharp for a zoom, works well on the D750. Great all purpose lens for vacations and for sports.

I have had this lens for three weeks now and tried it in various conditions and with all long Telephoto lens this suffers the same problem with the Maximum zoom in poor light conditions.

Compact; Build quality

Nikon has answered the call of FX (full-frame) camera users to provide a lens comparable to their ultra-popular NIKKOR AF-S 18–200mm f/3.5–5.6G VR II DX-format lens with their new AF-S 28–300mm f/3.5–5.6G ED VR.

Great focal range in one lens

What's not to like

I owned the Nikon 18-200mm which I enjoyed and was sharp to about 120mm but was soft at the long end. The 28-300mm is a much sharper lens and is sharp from 200-300mm. I'm really enjoying this lens and can't believe how good the build quality is. There is no lens creep like the 18-200mm.

Awesome optics; Not soft on long end; No lens creep; Psuedo macro; Excellent Build Quality; Fantastic clarity

This Lens is very versatile, its my first lens for a new Nikon 810 and I'm very pleased with it. I do a lot of outdoor photography, plants, landscapes, aviation, equestrian, you get the idea, and it just great, admittedly I haven't tried other lenes and probably don't need to so won't for a while.

I have had this lens a little less than a month. It is a touch heavy but it takes fabulous pictures. I highly recommend it.

It is definately heavier than most lenses of this range. The lens has very smooth zoom but it is firm. I personally like the stiffness as i had a Tameron comperable lens and every time it hung down the lens zoom would extend itself to full length and then unveriably you would bang it.

This lens does pretty much everything for a FX sensor camera. It isn't the sharpest, buts it's a good walking around lens. Get the 18-200mm DX lens of you have a DX camera instead.

* Ultra-wide zoom range * Quick and quiet IF * Weather sealed * Vibration reduction

Excellent all in one lens
