High-power 4.3x Telephoto Zoom-Nikkor lens (Approximates the picture angle performance of a 105-450mm lens on 35mm SLR). Vibration Reduction (VRII) minimizes the effects of camera shake allowing photographers to shoot handheld at as many as 4 shutter speeds slower* than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper images. * When used on Nikon DX format DSLR Two Nikon Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements deliver superior optical performance for both digital and 35mm photography.

Focus as close as 4.9 throughout entire zoom range. Non-Rotating front element provides for convenient use of circular polarizing filters and the Nikon Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System. A Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables fast and quiet autofocusing, along with quick switching between autofocus and manual operation (M/A and M). A nine-blade rounded diaphragm opening, out-of-focus elements appear more natural. 67mm filter attachment size.

Got it a few weeks ago, haven't really put it through its paces yet. However, first impressions are very good. It gets me much closer to the action when looking to photograph wildlife and that's the main reason I bought it.
It isn't super sharp towards the longer end of its range, however, I wasn't shooting in great light, didn't use a tripod etc. Anyway, I was aware of its limitations before I bought it and the deal I got on amazon was too good to pass up. Looking forward to some nice sunny days when I can take it out and really see what it is capable of...

I 'ummed' and 'ahhed' about buying an f2.8 pro lens for months. Then should I get one with VR or go for one without... that's about £1700 against about £750... then I started reading about this lens. OK it's f4.5, but it's also got ED glass, Silent Wave Motor and VR.
Eventually, after reading many reviews and putting off the decision I went for this one... thinking "if it's not up to scratch I could sell it on eBay and not lose too much". I'm so glad that I made this choice. The lens is wonderful. I use it on a D700 and the combination of the camera's wonderful low light capabilities and the lens's VR system means that the smaller aperture just isn't an issue. To be honest I don't think it would be an issue with any other camera either. Unless you want to take pictures of fast moving objects in very low light, this is the lens for you.
The focus is fast, don't let other reviewers put you off... it's fast. It's as fast as my f1.4 50mm. Yes, the lens can occasionally hunt, but it's rare, and the auto/manual focus means that you just grab the ring and move it to approximate focus and it's done. It's also not as heavy as a lot of people make out. The build quality is excellent and simply put, for the money... and when considered against the vastly more expensive 70-200mm VR or the 80-200mm non VR options it's a 'no brainer'.
I shoot pictures to sell on iStockphoto and this lens is fast becoming my all-rounder. I don't shoot smaller than f16 (to avoid diffraction... I'd do that with any lens though) and I LOVE the 'bokeh' (blurry background qualities) on this lens.
If you're unsure just do it. You won't be disappointed. 5 stars out of 5 for Nikon's best kept Nikkor secret.

This is a brilliant 70mm-300mm lens.
When used with Nikon DX format digital SLRs - such as the D5000 - this is equivalent to a 105mm-450mm. This is a long zoom for the price.
This lens has VR, which is just brilliant, allowing you to capture far more pictures without the need for a tripod.
This lens produces great quality pictures too, certainly more than good enough for most amateurs.
f4.5 (at 70mm) to f5.6 (at 300mm) is not the best, but at this price it is more than acceptable.
The zoom ring has a nice feel to it, and doesn't seem to suffer from any zoom creep. The focus ring also feels good, and has immediate manual overide capability when set to Auto Focus which is easier than having to switch between Auto and Manual Focus.
It even comes with a lens hood as well as a lens bag in the box, which is handy.
I would recommend this lens to everyone looking for a long zoom at a reasonable price.

The optical quality is fantastic, as you would expect from a genuine Nikon lens. An excellent compromise between magnification and weight, no tripod needed.
