"I bought this for my D800. A great starting point. It really covers almost any lens you may need, although I do have 6 impressive FX lenses, for special occasions. If you want to leave with only one lens, this or the 50mm 1.4 are my favorite choices.

The lens is just not fast fast enough with my autofocus. Except for the wide angle setting, most every other focal length goes to f/5.6 right away. Disappointed.

None for me

Even in good lighting; the 200-300 focal length range did not provide sharpe photographs

First of all, I am not a professional. I just an amateur with limited knowledge wanting to upgrade my kit glass and take better photos. My interest lies in wildlife photography. I took a while for me to make a decision and the chat staff I communicated with several times were extremely helpful in...

The focal range is fantastic. No need to carry several lenses. When the moment comes, your camera is ready to click. So this is the big advantage.

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 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.
