The smooth action and excellent results justify the higher price, because this is truly a dream lens!

The lens is performing as expected with very good results for my

Use w/monopod for birds & such w/very good results

I have obtained excellent results through the entire zoom range

and I found my best results with the D7100.

Open box, connect to camera, get to shooting!I will add that I purchased this lens specifically for a music festival I was shooting for a local contemporary art museum and the results were absolutely fantastic

I have shot two MLB games and two NBA games with it, having mostly good results.

nikon d7000 and the results are all excellent except in low light situation, but that is expected in zoom lenses with 4-5.6 aperture

I get sharp results wide open at 300, and the light weight more than offsets the slower apertures.

Excellent results for a very affordable price.

I get poor results at 70 MM, decent at 200, and poor at 300.

I get Better results, My pictures still look a litle blurry at 300mm, I'm taking pictures at 270mm with very nice results .

But it will deliver surprisingly good results in a 6 Mpixel D-70

Excellent quality photos as a result.

In those situation where I didn't need the VR, it produced the very good results I expected from all of the various online reviews.

I found it useful for children portrait with excellent results (with a Nikon D90), even at 300mm

and once I got used to the limitations of the lens (small aperture) I am getting very good results for a lens in this price range.

It's also easy to pan an object's movement and still achieve sharp results; no doubt VR plays a role there too.

I sold the 18-200mm VR and I decided to go with the 2 lens combo by using my 18-70mm Nikkor in conjunction with this fantastic telephoto zoom lens in the 70-300mm VR (I get better image results and an extra 100mm of focal length despite the 20-30seconds I need to swap lenses every now and then during a shoot)

But if you shoot from a tripod or some other type of rest this lens can get very good results, and you can't complain about the price.

I was able to take hand held (no tripod) shots at 300mm with only a brace and got perfect results.

Seems like f/10 or 11 produces good results.

For everyone else, this is a great value that produces impressive results

I get poor results at 70 MM, decent at 200, and poor at 300.

Sharpest results in the 70-200 mm range.

Recently bought this lens for my Nikon D5100 and the results have been amazing

My portrait shots have even improved as a result of my increased stability (and use of a monopod).

You'll get sharp results at all focal lengths for most reasonable shutter speeds

On overcast days at 200 - 300mm a monopod or tripod give the best results

You need to read the instructions for the lens and camera, and select the proper settings to get good results

Sharpness tends to be better when the aperture is closed down just a bit from wide-open which means you need a fair amount of light for the best results

Like so many other have said, to get excellent results above 200mm, well, good luck.

I shot about 100 pictures with my D300 and the result is pretty impressive: Handheld with relatively low speed (100-250), stopped down to 8-11, pictures came out really nice, even at 300mm

I used this lens on my full frame camera with good results, but on my DX Nikon D7200, the extra reach is even more fun.

It gives great results.

You will get better results at low end zoom and one thing you need with this lens is LOTS of light and HIGH shutter speeds to prevent blurry shots.

I often use this lens with a +3 aspherical diopter (Marumi 67mm 67 DHG Macro +3 330 Achromat Achromatic Close up Lens) and it produces very good results up to about 150mm; anything beyond that and the dof becomes too small)

Getting amazing results with the D500

This is a light weight lens that is easy to use and gives great results

I've shot larger wildlife with this, great blue heron, at about 90-100 feet and had excellent results

I am ready to go get the great results so many others have gotten.

and it generates good results in all three formats.

i got amazing results with it

and I understand that Nikon users should set auto focusing to continuous and allow the camera to select focal points for best results

so I braced myself and took a photo of a duck and the result is stunning

So I have to say that I do not agree with the reviews about how the lens gives poor results out past 200mm

thank u
