Reviews around bokeh (5.00 of 5)

  • 300mm really draws in the subjects, and some great bokeh can be created at any zoom
  • The bokeh is great at 300mm and remember that with this lens you get the shallowest DOF
  • The sharpness is amazing and the lens produces a very nice bokeh
  • I would go with a 50mm 1.8 prime as that lens has a great bokeh and is fast so you can handhold it in low light/indoor conditions.
  • I have also been able to produce beautiful bokeh with the lens.

Reviews around shot (4.90 of 5)

  • , I even handhold, a lot, and get really nice clear shots.
  • We wanted a lens that we could use to zoom in more than the default lens supplied with the DSLR and still get great shots
  • the 55mm-300mm was to close to really get any great shots of the coaster, so make sure to have a smaller lens with you ;) lol
  • I have been able to capture some really nice shots with this lens
  • Without this one, though, I would've missed some great shots

Reviews around zoom (4.40 of 5)

Reviews around lense (3.80 of 5)

  • I mainly bought this lens as a budget alternative to the faster more expensive zoom lenses
  • Additionally, the autofocus speed of this lens pales in comparison to the 70-200 and many other internal focusing (IF) lenses
  • This is a great lense that still allows me to shoot relatively close and far away without changing lenses.
  • Remember almost all zoom lenses lose resolution near their limit.
  • Everything came packaged well and in great condition.so far my wife is loving the new lenses and working well for family events.auto focus and zoom work well for us common camera folk.

Reviews around couple (1.54 of 5)

  • I lost a couple of shots of ducks on my patio because, not only couldn't it figure out what to focus
  • Thank You Amazon for making this a pleasant ride!l
  • I think a couple of stick-on dots or maybe a little finger nail polish will do the trick.
  • I like this 55-300 lens so far, couple of times I was frustrated why I can't take a nice sharp image, but later I read about precision setups all over the internet forums and the problem is solved.so now I'm happy with this lens, and guys make sure don't give up... make research how to set up in the right way your equipment.

Reviews around life (1.33 of 5)

  • I went to Alaska on vacation this year and the lens helped me photograph wild life that I could not have photoed with my standard 18 - 55 mm lens.
  • I needed a zoom lens to shoot distant sporting activities and wild life.
  • Thank You Amazon for making this a pleasant ride!l
  • It's taken care of me when I've wanted to get shots of wild life
  • (Only for less 1% of people who really need to do bird photography or wild life in low light conditions you may need 300mm f2.8 or a canon 4000mm f5.6L
