Amazing VR and versatility I had a Sigma APO 70-300 which was amazing, every time I used it. After roughly 17 years in my bag and or closet ( I live in Florida) I noticed that it had considerable fungus/haze visible on the rear inside element. I am a true Nikon lover and bought the Sigma because at the time I purchased it, Nikons only offering in this range was rated optically inferior. Since then, Nikon updated its 70-300 three times, I think, but the price has increased substantially with each offering. The latest version is around $800. Since this focal length range is not one I use often, I started pricing new sigma APO's which are still an amazing bargain. Then I thought to look on Ebay for a used nikkor and found an excellent deal on this modern VR lens. Retailing for $500, I obtained a used, excellent copy for just over $220 and could not be happier. this lens has VRII and makes an amazing difference when shooting hand held, as I almost never use a tripod. The Sigmas have no VR. Both lenses are great, but the VR is awesome! Read full review
Great telephoto zoom This lens is great. The focus is quick. For how long the lens is it's pretty light weight. It's great for photographing surfers.
Nikon AF-s70-300mm Lens - Great Tool in the Toolbox I have thoroughly enjoyed this lens in the brief time I have had it. I look forward to many great photographic experiences with it. The images are sharp and it is easy to use!
