Nikon 1947

Pros: inexpensive, long range, light weight

Cons: not as rugged or contrasty as the more expensive ED series

Review: The AF 70-300 isn't quite the equal of Nikon's ED 80-300 zoom, but its resolution and contrast is more than adequate for for the current series of Prosumer digital cameras from Nikon, and that's squarely the market they've aimed it at. Together with the ...

Pros: best lens i have tried for wildlife. the details are razor sharp and amazing

Cons: i didnt find any. its worth the price

Review: Good lens giving great colours. we can prevent the shaking as it isa lightweight lens. its worth the money you spend for such ...

Pros: Great Resolution, Cheap, and Lightweight

Cons: For $120, none except the lack of an aperture ring

The Bottom Line: The Nikon AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6G Zoom Lens is lightweight, cheap, and will provide budget conscious photographers with exceptional resolution at a bargain price

Review: The Nikon AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6G Zoom Lens is a compact and lightweight telephoto zoom featuring excellent resolution, dependable performance, a nine blade iris diaphragm (for enhanced Bokeh and improved contrast), and "D" type precision distance...

Pros: Great resolution and color, light weight and inexpensive.

Cons: Slow focusing in low light and too slow focusing for sports.

The Bottom Line: If you want a serviceable lens at a very good price and arn't caught up in the quality of your equipment rather than the quality of your photos, get it.

Review: Being a long time 35mm photographer I was thrilled when I got my first Nikon,a few years ago. I got ...

Pros: Great price; decent quality; 300mm

Cons: plastic mount; somewhat noisy autofocus

The Bottom Line: Great beginning lens for those who don't have loads of money and want a 300mm zoom-lens. If you can stand the wait, save your pennies and get a higher-end lens.

Review: I bought this lens because I was looking for a decent lens for my Nikon D70 that zoomed to 300mm, but I didn't want to spend a fortune (easy to do). I checked out the ED version of this lens and was somewhat underwhelmed at the image difference when ...

Pros: Clear Photos, smooth movement

Cons: A little trouble focusing at distance in low light, no depth of field scale

The Bottom Line: Just be mindful of it’s compatibility, make sure it will work with your model of camera.

Review: Great lens, great price! Apertures range from f4 to f45. It does have some trouble with automatic focusing at a distance in low light but this is to be expected. I simply switch to manual control and the pictures are right on. Low price doesn’t mean low...

Pros: Great range, Reversible hood.

Cons: Not backward compatible to manual focus Nikons.

The Bottom Line: Quality at a great price.

Review: I bought this lens as part of a kit with a 28-80mm and The F80( N80 ). This gave me a full 28-300mm range in two lenses.
The separate price would have been £150 (US$212) I got it for about £100.
The build quality is excellent in comparison to...

Pros: Bargain price

Cons: Toy-like build, plastic mount

The Bottom Line: Recommended for light, occasional use if you buy it as a discounted price.

Review: I purchased this lens, the Nikkor 70-300G (not D), thinking it would be a reasonable addition to my arsenal, for pictures requiring a longer lens. I used it for about 4 months. When I received it, I was more than a little disappointed at the toy-like ...

Pros: Good for amatuers

Cons: Slow, bulky, ect

Review: This is not a bad lens, if you are on a budget. I have compared this lens and the 75-300, and like the older 75-300 better. Both of these lenses are not the best lenses in the world, first of all, but they will get by if you are an amateur or beginner....

Pros: Price. Easy to find used.

Cons: Build quality, softness above 200mm, contrast.

Review: I bought this lens used as I needed a long zoom lens for portrait (I'm sparing money to buy the sigma 70-200 EX HSM...) It's not very crisp (I find it even soft above 200mm), colors and contrast are not the best but remember it's a 100$ zoom... It's ...
