I really really loved this lens. It works perfectly with my camera and has allowed me to take AWESOME pictures. Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful camera lens. Might I add, the delivery was quick and the price…very affordable.

5 Stars Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6G AF Nikkor SLR Camera Lens
I purchased this lens on 06/26/2009 and received very quickly and from the moment I started using it, it has become one of my favorite lenses. It seems to be very fast and the pictures look great.

I have used it for sporting events, weddings and a few beach photos. Its a great lens but the only thing about it is you have to slide the barrel back and forth to change the focal length, but other that I love it.

5 Stars Nice Lens
I’ve used this lens for a week with my D90. I shoot wildlife and nature. Autofocus is fast and solid. Focus ring is smooth, zoom ring has one snug spot. At this length I’m not worried if flash works at all. I have uploaded several pictures that out of the camera could not be improved!

4 Stars Nikon 70-300mm AF non VR
It is a very wonderful lens. I wanted to get the 70-300mm VR but after purchasing this one, I will say I am satisfied and will not be getting the other one. I take so many great pictures with it on my Nikon D5000. I would recommend it to everyone shooting outdoors. It is not the best lens for indoor pictures. The zoom works so well.

5 Stars Inexpensive quality lens
this is an inexpensive and quality zoom lens. It is amazing to me that I ordered it and the following day it arrived. This lens does need a fair amount of light but it was bought for outdoors shooting. A good product.

As with its predecessor, the new AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II will be a must-have for every serious Nikon shooter’s bag. Rounded 9-blade diaphragm Focuses to 4.6 feet – Close focusing provided throughout the entire zoom range for extended versatility.

5 Stars Wonderful lens! Just get it!!
I’m a big fan of what I call the “blurred” background pictures – subjects in sharp focus, with the rest of the background as blurred out as possible. Of course, you have to overcome the challenges of working with a small Depth of Field (DoF). I also love snapping candids of my kids, many a times, in sub-optimal light conditions. This lens is terrific for both of these purposes.

Some reviews were negative about Autofocus,but it worked just fine, out of the box (didn’t have to change any setting, or set any locks on the lens – just snapped it on as is) on to my D70 – note, some Nikon consumer SLRs will not autofocus with this lens.

I thought for quite a while about the Nikon 50mm f/1.4D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras, but the price difference doesn’t seem to justify it. Getting to shoot around 1.8 is good enough for me (remember – DoF becomes that much more challenging when you go down to 1.4).

If you’re a zoom addict, remember that there isn’t any zooming on this. You will have to move yourself to get the right picture composition (or crop later).

I shot a good set with my kids and also on some religious figurines at a friend’s house (see customer image of Lord Ganesha) – love what I see.

This is a great complement to my Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR [Vibration Reduction] DX Lens. Enjoy!

5 Stars Very small and powerfull lens
Well this tiny lens is very powerfull and pictures it take are very sharp. Im very happy with this lens. You can blur the background very easy with it…and much more..

5 Stars Excellent fast lense..u need it !!
Well, i guess every photographer need a fast lense..and this one is the first choice before you end up paying double for f/1.4. Excellent image quality, mind blowing DOF..what else left..manual focus is something u may feel little bad, but u will get habituated. It wont dissapoint you..for sure !!!

4 Stars Great little lens, Does NOT Autofocus with d5000
Excellent little lens. Price is great! Good depth of focus, easy to use, very quick. Good for low-light, indoor, and portraits. I really love it! One hangup is that it does NOT auto focus for my new d5000. Definitely not a deal breaker though for the price and the picture quality. Overall, very happy with it… Happy shooting!

5 Stars The greatest lens ever
This lens is pure awesome. Although i have a d60 and cannot use it for auto focus, the nifty 50 has made me experience and enjoy and become good at manual focusing, which is something every photographer should be capable of.

I highly recommend every nikon dslr owner out there to have this lens
