autofocus does not work with nikon d40
(worth checking which cameras are compatible for auto focus)
ok if you are happy to manual focus
By Mr. J. L. Lindsay (England)
Although the lens is advertised as a Nikon Af there was no information as to which Nikon cameras auto focus will not work, the popular D60 is one.I had to return it and purchase another lens.

This lens is really nice, lightweight compared to the £300 one.
However, just beware that there is no Auto focus with the Nikon D40.
Every other version works, just not the D40.
By Mr. Clg Bell (Tiverton, Devon)
First the bad points: the construction of this lens is lightweight plastic, it feels cheap, it drops down to f5 or below fairly rapidly as you zoom in, and being a Nikon "G" series lens it has no aperture ring so you can't use it on a trusty old manual camera. But for £75 what do you expect?
Then the good. Other reviewers say that it is not sharp, or is "soft", but looking at the shots I have just taken on my 10 MegaPixel D200, at between 70mm and 200mm focal lengths, blown up to 100% magnification on the screen I have absolutely no complaints, as it is pin sharp to my eyes; and the images are good and contrasty too.
On a moderately bright over-cast day I set the camera to ISO 200 and let it worry about exposure, which resulted in shutter speeds between 1/150th and 1/320th and apertures from about f6 to f9 as the clouds came and went. Hand-held results were very slightly blurred at the longer focal length/slower speed end of the range, but otherwise the fact that its maximum aperture is f4-5.6 proved not to be a problem at all.
Other reviewers have criticised its auto-focus speed. Yes, if it is currently set at 5 feet and you point it at something 300 feet away then it takes a little while to get there; but if it is more or less at the right distance already it snaps into focus faster than I can blink. Also, unlike some AF lenses, the focus ring turns through quite a large arc so focusing it manually is easy.
It starts to get a bit tricky to use hand-held in the 200mm to 300m range, partly because the zoom barrel extends such a long way and partly because it is so light-weight; but that is not a criticism of the lens, rather a fact of life - if you want to use a long lens you need to use a tripod, or to shell out 5x as much money for a Vibration Reduction (VR) version.
Remember though that VR doesn't freeze your subject motion, only your camera-shake; if I were going to spend that much I'd save up a little longer and buy a non-VR f2.8 70-200m zoom instead.
Last saturday I was standing next to someone who had a monster Nikkor 70-400mm f4.5-5.6 VR zoom on his camera, about £900 pounds worth, and he was lamenting that he struggled with its intended use for wildlife photography because it didn't give him a fast enough shutter speed. I looked down at my little plastic toy which cost 1/12th as much, yet gives nearly the same focal length and aperture range ... and, I confess, felt rather smug.
In summary: not the best money can buy, but surely far and away the best value for money in its focal length range.

Nikon AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
Buy Low Price From Here Now
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. ED glass minimizes chromatic aberrations, contributing to superb contrast and resolution performance. Internal Focus (IF) provides fast and quiet auto focusing without changing the length of the lens, retaining subject-working distance through the focus range. 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. Included accessories: LC-67 67mm snap-on front lens cap, LF-1 rear lens cap, HB-36 bayonet hood, CL-1022 flexible lens pouch

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.

Warning to everyone, quite happy dealing direct with Amazon but if they direct you to other retailers just don't do it!!! nothing but trouble and aggravation......lost money....still got agg....
By M. Harris
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.
By J. Sutton
The optical quality is fantastic, as you would expect from a genuine Nikon lens. An excellent compromise between magnification and weight, no tripod needed.
