So, short delay but all in all recieved a good lens at a good price and original lens was also great but will not auto focus with certain models
But the price was fantastic, for a lens that will get use on the tripod.
This is a great lens, for an outstanding price for a beginner
This lens apperture is an unbeliavable f4.5, its widest apperture is not even f4 but 4.5 and this is a 300mm lens!Again, the lens is pretty good for what it was designed and the price is not bad.
I was wanting a new lens for my D60, something with a zoom and the vibration reduction
I love the zoom of the lens, and it is very easy to handle.
Got this with discount from D7100 this lens is huge and got good zoom range
Not quite so fine is the still-sticky zoom ring, which takes just enough effort to turn that near 300mm your subject will tend to jump around, maybe right out of the frame, as the hand holding the lens works in opposition to the hand holding the camera.
This is the cheapest Nikkor zoom lens that will get you to 300mm, so is the build quality
Even though this lens lacks the vibration reduction (VR) feature, it is possible to hand-hold it and get some really good shots even at the far end of the range.
VR is excellent in places where you're not allowed to use a tripod
I have a lens with the previous iteration of VR and the new VR is much better in actual use.
The reviews for this lens are very good, but it seems to be neglected by the masses in favor of the 18-200 VR
The bottom line is VR won't cure bad long lens technique.
I will tell you in decent light or tripod situations this lens is just as sharp as the 70-200 f/2.8 (stopped down one stop from wide open) in the 70-200 focal range on my D700 and just as sharp at all aperatures (once again in the 70-200 focal range) on my D90.
the aperture to f8 or f11, the images do get sharper but aren't as sharp as in the 70-200mm range
yes the camera loves light and in low light the results are not near as good as when in full sunlight
(I have knocked off one star because the sharpness breaks up as you approach 300mm)
I would not let the camera decide what to focus on at that zoom though, like another person said it would probably be the kiss of death with all of that shaking going on, or the camera totally confused as to what what to focus on, since it will focus on perhaps landscape when you want a bird's eye where the bird is on a branch in focus

The lack of tripod mount on the lens makes it difficult to use on a tripod
Even worse in my opinion is the lack of a smooth, front-mounted focus ring, which I find fairly important in a long zoom.

If you try to shoot with a slower shutter (i.e. 1/60 shutter on a 100M zoom factor) your pictures will come out blurry unless you use a tripod
The 70-300mm lens also features Nikon's Vibration Reduction tech which helps you avoid shaky pictures from shaky hands when you are using slower shutter speeds
There is also no image stabilization, therefore to take consistent sharp images in low light you need to use a fast shutter speed, which may not always be easy to do
thank u
Since my D80 has the cropped sensor, I usually bump up the shutter even a little more, for 300mm I'll use 1/400 or 1/500 if my goal for that shot is to get super sharpness
If you want lots of zoom, plan to use it outside, and don't plan on photographing fast moving objects, this can work out for you.
Have used it at a dog show to take great photos, movement and across the ring shots, and taken some good ones at performance events, just have to work out the focusing with a fast moving object, I just know that this lens will not last long for that reason.
Vibration reduction (camera and lens) does an excellent job tracking moving objects
if you are trying to capture a fast-moving object, I DO recommend that you already have the focus in the approximate focus range, and then the lens will focus in about a 1/10th of a second).
