 Rating:  - Great lensSo I was deciding between the 18-200mm and the 70-300mm lenses. I have a d40 which came with a great 18-55mm kit lens, so after much deliberation, I came to the conclusion to go with the 70-300mm. I reasoned that the gap from 50-70mm isn't a big deal for me (I have 2 perfectly functional feet, after all). The 70-300mm was also considerably cheaper.

Ordered Tuesday night at 11pm, received on Wednesday afternoon around 1pm. Wow, wow, wow. I love this lens! Rating: - ExcellentThis is a nice lens at a reasonable price. Nikkor adds the VR which makes this lens worth is weight. Rating: - Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR ZoomThis lens is probably one of the the best bargains on the market today. It feels a little plasticky but very well built and above all it is razor sharp in the whole range of 70-300mm. I have the expensive pro lenses to compare it with and this lens is no slouch, it holds up against the best pro lenses especially when it stopped down to f/8-11. Above all the best part is the fact that this lens is light weight and compact so it is always with me when I go for a short hike or walk and the heavy pro ... Read More |
