Overview & Features top
  • 4.3x, 70-300mm telephoto zoom (picture angle, when used with Nikon DX format digital SLRs is equivalent to a 105-450mm on a 35mm format SLR)
  • The VRII minimizes camera shake by offering the equivalent of a shutter speed 4 stops faster. Normal and Active modes are available
  • Two ED glass elements
  • The SWM enables fast and quiet autofocusing, and smooth switching between autofocus and manual operation
  • Two focus modes are available — M/A and M
  • The IF design provides a constant lens length and eliminates rotation of the front lens element, facilitating the use of circular polarizing filters
  • Nine-blade rounded diaphragm opening

AF-S 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED VR
Originally posted 2007-06-11 on Optyczne.pl Perhaps the most fierce competition can be observed on the market of kit lenses’ substitutes. Not less keen rivalry is concerning the segment of amateur zoom lenses which focal lengths begin in the range of 70-100 mm and end at 300 mm. Read more ...
CONShigh or very high chromatic aberration at all focal lengths, at 300 mm image resolution could have been better

Strong Value-Priced Zoom Lens
It's hard to go wrong with a Nikkor lens and this is no exception. This is a very good lens to compliment the 18-70 mm but if you already have the 18-200mm (one of the best all around lenses on the market) then don't spend the money. Read more ...
PROSgood value for price, vibration reduction, long focal length, crisp pictures
CONSa bit cheap feeling, autofocus problematic at long focal lengths, lens on the slow side
