While I hope to create a full Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S VR Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for me to post information...

A convenient 10.7x superzoom lens with Vibration reduction suitable for use on Nikon FX format cameras.

Good optical performance for a lens of this type; Fast silent focusing; Vibration reduction is very effective; Build quality

Maybe a bit on the pricey side; Distortion at 28mm and 300mm

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Strong Construction

Poor in Low Light

77mm filters; Consistent Output; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh; Well built; Zoom lock

NONE

This is an amazing lens. It is relatively new on the market and I wasn't sure how it would perform seeing as it has been labelled a "do-it-all" lens. So far, it has exceeded my expectations on my Nikon D700. I shoot just about everything but mostly people and travel.

- image quality is surprising considering the extreme zoom range; - lightweight (compared to many other lenses in that category; - focuses in very low light conditions; - acceptable distortion (except when shooting vertical and/or horizontal lines; - VR allows a couple of extra stops; - solid build

- Expensive (but when you consider all the lenses it replaces; it's a real bargain; - Distortion at max wide and max long ends

Went on a safari and used this as my only lens. The only drawback is the f-stop when used in early dawn or dusk. Otherwise, the quality of the pictures are excellent and was able to use it in almost all situations.

Fast / accurate auto-focus; Rugged; Strong Construction

Poor in Low Light

With the lens attached to a D700, auto-focus is generally fast (but not instant). On the F65, focusing worked well in good light, but became quite problematic in normal room lighting. The D700 had no such issues with the lens.

Very good indeed as general-purpose lens, despite cost. Highly recommended

Very significant distortion at virtually all focal lengths, requiring correction in any photo with straight lines, NOT for architectural photography, also noticeable vignetting at either end of zoom range, esp; wide open

Very sharp at all focal lengths, even with Tamron 1.4 pro converter! Focuses v; fast even in low (non-existent!) light, reasonably light & compact for range (cf; equivalent Canon lens...); o v; good indeed.Great as single walk-about lens, especially for nature & portrait photography, nacr

Great multiple-purpose lens. The following is one hundred characters required for an eBay review. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

The main advantage of an interchangeable lens camera is obviously its interchangeable lenses, which theoretically allow photographers to use the correct lens for any specific subject or conditions.

Long zoom range; Effective image stabilization; Very sharp; Perfect for FX sensor bodies

Size and weight; Obvious distortion
