Excellent choice! Inexpensive, with a degree of effectiveness that may be improved with practice, and portable. Will suggest this to my friends in bollard installation

There is no dust protection, which is to be anticipated at this price point.

Very useful for www.drywallbaltimore.com It serves its purpose.

None so far.

This AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300MM F/4-5.6G lens is perfect for taking candid shot and many more, great addition to your equipment for sure! fence contractor chandler

In my opinion, it doesn't have any issues for a couple of months of usage.

Nice choice! Very cheap, sharp after some playing around with it, and lightweight. | Patio

No dust protection but of course expected for a lens in this price range.

This lens CAN make sharp and contrasty images when stopped down to f/8-11. But...:

...that makes it more or less unusable for most applications: You simply cannot handhold this lens at any focal-lenght above 70mm stopped down to where sharpness is acceptable, unless the full midday sun is shining directly on your subject. Above 200mm it is also way softer than below, and even stopping down to f/16 trying to fix it is futile. Unless you're a tripod-shooter, that really likes a challenge, get the 70-300 VR!

its very light, you will find it convenient handling without a tripod.

Best results in outdoor (makes more sense in day light).

I read many reviews and based on its price I was not prepared for great results from Nikkor 70-300mm G lens, but to my surprise its a great lens and high value for money. Pictures are great at

Creeping zoom ring, some clumsy sounds when focusing, slow autofocus ability, no dust protection but of course expected for a lens in this price range.
USed it with a tamron pro 2x TC and the results were very bad, u can see CA in the LCD of the camera when using the TC. i beleive it was designed to be used without any other accessory:)

I have purchased this lens three years back because i wanted to get into telephoto in addition to the other nikon lenses that i own. This lens is very cheap and very light for walking around with it for long distances.

Contrary to what people have commented here i beleive this lens can deliver very nice results even at 300mm!. The point is that u have to tweak the lens to find when it can perform really nice. I have always beleived like many people here that the lens is very fuzzy after 200mm, however i have used it at full focal length recently, at 300mm and got sharp results when the lens stopped down to f/10 and when shooting birds at close distance. When doing that i pop up the iso to 800 or iso 1000 on my d70s body.

For the money i find this is a very pleasing lens, come on it is only for $100 u can drop it and u wont feel sorry for it.
