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

Poor in Low Light

I use the lens on my Nikon D800 camera. When I first purchased the camera I also included the 50mm, f1.4 prime lens which I used extensively. All my other lenses are DX lenses which significantly reduce the censor's area.

Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh; Rugged; Strong Construction

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

With a nearly 11x zoom range this brand new addition to Nikon's line-up is clearly worthy of serious attention...

Excellent all in one lens

Wide open MTF at 28mm

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

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

Excellent all in one lens

Wide open MTF at 28mm

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.

If you can have just one lens,this is it!! Ken Rockwell said this lens is sharp through out its entire zoom range and he was right! I do a lot of landscape shots and this lens can go pretty wide at 28mm,then you can zoom big time to capture things that look a long way away and bring them in...

Easy To Use; Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus; Good Image Quality

Beautiful results for amatuer and Professional photographers

Solid Construction; Zoom Lock and Sharp Images

Slightly Heavy if used with Neck Straps
