I wonder what took me so long to buy this lens but after reading reviews on other sites I felt I needed to at least try it out. I went to my local camera store here in LA and the owner let me play...
Nikon has announced that it will release a new 50mm 1.4 lens sometime in December, which will have SWM and thus auto-focus for the 40 and 40x. Since the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G AF-S Auto Focus Nikkor...
I am a beginner and only have a few Nikon lenses. However, I was surprised when I opened the package to find this lens as the only Nikon lens I've seen to have 1) No lens hood, 2) No lens cap (on...
This is a super lens and produces great shots. I bought it to use with my SLR and I recently bought a D80 which it also works perfectly with. I can shoot in amazingly low light and achieve fast...
Superb lens. Comes in nice case and built in hood. Krinkle finish and lots of glass and metal. Amazingly contrasty, sharp and great color rendition. Don't use this lens as much as some others, but...
In these days of zoom lenses, having a fixed focus one is kind of weird, but when you put this baby on a Nikon and shoot people, the results are simple: Oohhs, wows... Just beautiful! Super...
This lens is probably one of the best bargains I have purchased from Nikon. It is VERY sharp and fast and quiet. Very fast for the $$$. I almost alway leave it on my D200. It is a great all around...
I received the lens, couldn't wait to use it in action. The lens has NO AUTOFOCUS with the D60!!! What an incredible disappointment! How could a Nikon lens not have AF on a camera that was just...
Alot of different opinions in the review forums here on Amazon. I ended up sending this one back and buying the 1.4 as it just seemed more substantial in my hand. I know that is a soft reason to...
May seem of limited use in today's "zoom" world, but this lens is worth every penny. Super sharp and clear. May seem a tad short for full face portrait (unless you want to be real up close and...
An amazing lens by any standard. Sharp as a tack, Ultra quick AF, beautiful Bokeh wide open. Fabulous and expensive. Oh and don't buy it off Amazon, get it from B&H.
I just finished reviewing the images from my second nigh time baseball game since receiving my 300mm 2.8 VR lens. The only words I can think of is "WOW" The speed of the focus, the extremely...
This lens is fast, clear, and sharp! I'm mainly using it for portraits, along with the 50mm 1.8, on the D80 body. The feel and build of the lens is solid, giving a pleasing balance on the D80. The...
I bought this lens 4 days ago primarily for portraits. I've been so satisfied that I've hardly even taken if off! Very crisp and clear images, amazing results!
Excellent prime lens. THE prime lens of you own a DX DSLR body.
I've owned this lens for many years now. It will always be my lens of choice when i don't want to use my zoom lenses. Pros: (+) Excellent optical quality, sharpness. no vignetting...
Ordered this lense for a new Nikon D40x SLR Camera. Long story short, the lense that came with the camera had a wider angle on it than this $300 lense. In talking to Nikon about it they told me...
Just as previous review. I bought 50 1.8 at first. Later on, I found out that it's too far and the build quality is so so. I didn't find anything special for the 50 1.8 except it is a fast lens....
I tried out the sigma version of this lens and was happy to find how valuable the additional resolution and quality that an original Nikon product could deliver. Sigma does definetly not hold up...
I have had this lens for a year now and it is extremely useful. I have been using it on my Nikon D100 and D200. The extreme wide angle shots do not distort into a fish eye but takes up...
I've been using the 85mm f/1.8D for almost a year now, and took a step out to get the f/1.4D version, and was not disappointed! The 85mm f/1.4D lens is the cream machine when it comes to bokeh....
I've been using this lens for some 3 to 4 months now. you have to practice with this lens before you take any serious work with it. The Defocus Control (DC) you have to know how to use it in...
I purchased this lens in order to take advantage of the 2.0 f-stop in horribly lit hs gymnasiums. This lens paired with my D2Hs is outstanding. It has to be the best volleyball lens in existence....
I've owned the 200/2 for about a year now and can honestly say without any question or hesitation, that it is the best lens I've ever used in any format, from any manufacturer, in all 30 years...
If you work on the road you are very familiar with the need to protect your laptop from accidental damage. I also know from experience that sometimes all you want is a simple sleeve to protect your...
Nikon's 300mm f/4 ED-IF AF-S telephoto lens is a excellent value and an excellent choice for shooting Sports, wildlife and portraits. At 3.17 lbs., it is very mobile and easy to hand hold. With...
Have owned this lens for about a month. It will be used for baseball, football, and wildlife pics. Have shot about 500 baseball pics ... and they are great! Focus is fast and the pics are...
Nikon introduced the AF-S 300/4 lens in 2001, thus replacing the glorious AF ED 300/4 IF. The new lens has some interesting features, which allow to consider it, at least in my opinion, as a real...
When used on a Nikon D300 that applies a 1.5 multiplying factor to the length (this 24mm acts like a 36mm on a DX sensor), this lens is clear, collects lights well, and is extremely sharp. This is...
I am one of the dinosaurs still shooting 35mm films. I am used to Nikon primes and wont change them for any zoom. I already own AF 24mm N and wanted (just for passion) to replace it with a newer...
In my bag of camera tricks, I have 3 prime lenses, and this lens is by far on my camera the most. I shoot with a Nikon D80, and this lens compliments my camera very well. The macro is...
I used this lens for close-ups originally, but found that it is a super clear lens for portraits that seem to capture all the details with crisp, stunning, clarity. I am finding this is more and...
This is a good lens for the money. Not many aberitions, decent glass and quick focus. I use this lens on an S5 Pro, and found it did well out to the edges and gives me good balance in terms of...
I have shot Nikon lenses and cameras since 1969. At that time I had the Non-AI Nikkor 135mm. Just a great lens for a short to medium Tele. with my old and venerable FTn. Bokeh was sweet. Some of...
The 18-200mm lens on my Nikon D50 already gives very good results at 28mm, even at its widest aperture of f4. Is the 28mm f2.8D worthwhile? Sometimes. The main attraction of the 28mm to me...
My favorite lens - it does weight a ton (and a half)
Okay, if you got the dough to shelf out ~$1700 for the VR 70-200, go for it. Stabilization can really help with this kind of heavy lens. This sucker does weight close to 3 pounds by itself, and...
I have owned this lens since the spring of 98 and it has been the one lens that always stays with me on assignment. Over the years it has been used hard and is still working just fine, making it...
The product was exactly as described and well worth the price. If you shoot outside sports photography - this is the lens that will deliver quality results at a great price. Working with my Nikon...
I'm a recent owner of D80 with kit lens 18-55mm. I got this lens based on research and some review here at B&H as well as other website. First shoot - a wedding, came out to be as good as the pro...
find some dust inside and a little scratch on the lens
I just bought it 7 days ago. From the body of lens, it looks new. But after careful checking, I found some dust inside both sides of lens, especially inside that smaller lens contacting camera...
I bought this as an upgrade to my existing 18-55 lens. Not a professional photographer but I have been working photos since Photoshop version 2.5 and I know a good shot when I see it. My 18-55...
I really wanted to believe. I read the reviews and I was extremely optimistic. I wanted to try & buy the lens locally but it wasn't available so I didn't get an opportunity to feel the lens.
So I waited for one here and it paid off. I advise those who want this lens to read my reviews on it and understand how I rate it. If you bought your lens here, is pretty good price even from...
I have had this lens for about 4 months or so and just love it to death. If you have the money or not and you love wildlife photography then this is a must have lens. Lens works like a champ and...
The BEST reason to stay with Nikon that I've found!
I bought this lens two years ago, in the thick of the Canon 1Ds II media and user-review euphoria. Bunk! Now you have the Canon 1D III, which surely blows the even earlier 1D (11 mega pix) away...
This is a great lens for fun and creativity. Some call it an "armpit" lens as it gives you a 180 degree perspective. I find myself pulling this lens out of the bag more and more often as I see a...
Dell has launched its latest range with a splash of colour. From the power user's XPS M1330 to the 15in Inspiron 1520 and now the 14in Dell Inspiron 1420, the new Inspiron range brings a touch of...
This is a pro piece of glass and takes phenomenal pictures. I recommend this to anyone interested in getting into macro photography as I have been for some time. Focusing can be a little tricky,...
A good lens, but save your dollars and buy the older model, or the Tamron 90 macro. VR does not work up close, and that's the selling point of this lens. If you have to go manual for a macro...
I've been looking into a macro lens for a long time and finally settled on this model. I received mine this morning and spent about two hours shooting everything in site. Its an amazing lens...
Here we have what appears to be a made-in-heaven lens from Nikon combining thier excellent 105 2.8 with 9 blades for better bokeh (out of focus rendering) and (gulp!) VR!!!
For people new to photography who just want that "get way out there" zoom, this is probably an ok lens. To be honest, I was a little disappointed in the image quality (especially at 300 mm)....
Zoom Telephoto AF Zoom Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G Autofocus Lens
The lens is very sharp at 70-200mm, but decrease a little bit at 300mm end. But compare to the price, its performance is really good as an telephoto lense.
I purchaased the 70-300G lens for use on a new Nikon D70. The lens is small, lightweight and has a wide zoom range. However, the image quality is only average (as expected for $100) and exhibits...
This is the best general use lens I have ever used. The minimum focal distance surpasses most standard lenses. I would recommend this lens to replace any lens that is standard with teh Nikon D40.
Actually, I have used better kit lenses in the past that this one. This is a really, really un-sharp lens. Every picture it churns out is soft and fuzzy, and it doesn't take much magnification in...
Great for casual shooters, not pros: great budget lens
I got this lens in my D200 kit, and within a year sold it off. While I found the lens to be adequate for many of my uses, until I purchased the 17-55 f/2.8 DX, I had no idea what my D200 was...
This fine little lens is worth every penny of its modest cost. It's light, sharp across the entire range, and much more rugged than it first appears (I hauled mine 1000 km across dusty Namibian...
