Nikon Nikkor 70-300mm F/4-5.6G AF

(D90)

I'm not sure why everyone gave this lens a bad rating. I took images last night at a football game and it produced sharper and more contrasted images than my Tokina 80-200mm F/2.8 Pro and my Nikon AF 70-210mm F/4. It also makes a great travel lens...

This is a working man's telephoto zoom. It is super inexpensive, and the results are not bad. But sometimes you get what you pay for; in this lens, its downsides are an obnoxiously slow and loud autofocus, and the fact that it is best suited for...

Let's be honest. This lens is no world-beater, and one wonders how much it even deserves to be called a Nikkor. From about 135mm onwards it is fairly soft, even stopped down to F8 or F11. The extending tube rattles back and forth while the AF...

OK, let's face it. At this price you won't get superior image quality and sharpness. So, what do you get?

For the price you pay for this lens, its actually quite nice. So far it has taken images that I expect for its price. I used this on my nikon d50, 1.5x300=450! Sweet.

Actual amount paid: £95(GBP)

For the price, it is a fairly good lens. It has a good zoom range, but as you'd expect given how much you can spend on a similar telephoto lens, there are some bad points. To start with, the auto focus is very slow and noisy, and what I have found to...

Of all my lenses, this is by far the worst. Sure it's cheap, but wide open or even stopped down it's not sharp at all and the build quality is poor.

I've had a love-hate relationship with this lens. I bought it because it I wanted something portable for very occasional long shots. And because it was very cheap.
