As everything good on this lens was already said, I would only reaffirm that this is really an awesome lens, though hard on the pocket, it is really worth it.
I placed my ordered on Oct 4th, and although Amazon promised to ship around Nov 12, when I checked back on Nov. 25th, it says that I can't get it before Christmas. At the same time, they raised the...
This is a great lens for wildlife, sport, portrait, nature photography. Across all the apertures range, this lens is very sharp, with perfect color rendition, at most shooting distances for...
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 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!!!
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...
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 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...
I can't believe Nikon would release a product with such a major mechanical malfunction. The lens "creep" is a pain in the backside. Try to do a tripod shot for a product shot or any shot with the...
I read the reviews before I bought the lens and was a little hesitant. After receiving it though, I found that the lens is very versatile and that maybe I am just not the picky when it comes to the...
One of the blessings of an SLR can also be a curse: having to choose which lenses to carry, which means finding the right balance between weight and bulk, and having the focal lengths you need. The...
"CNET's Review is well off base and technically flawed"
This is a great new lens in the Nikon lineup, and the CNET review does not do it proper justice. As far as size and weight go, this lens is heavier than other kit lenses. It would not be a good...
I returned this item a day after I received, and have not received my refund 20 days later
I mistakenly bought this lens. I printed out the return receipt, put back in Amazon box, with bubble wrap, and sent it insured back to Amazon. I have not received my refund, and I am asked to...
For those looking to go beyond what a kit lens has to offer their Nikon dSLR, there's Nikon's AF-S DX 16-85mm f3.5-5.6 G ED VR. Compatible with all Nikon DX digital SLRs including the D300 , D60 ,...
This lens exceeded my high expectations! I read all of the reviews here and did extensive research before I paid this amount of money for the lens. The first thing I was worried about was the...
This is one of Nikons 1st attempts at vibration reduction and although Nikon had the AFS focus technology at the time it was not included in the 80-400. The Nikon 300mm AFS f4 is of the same era...
It might be a great lens, but I cant tell. The vendor cancelled the order without any explanation...leaving me in the lurch for Christmas. AVOID BUYING FROM DBROTH. They will dissappoint. Now I...
I use this lens for taking photos at auto races. I have had great results. This is the best long zoom I have ever owned. A bit heavy, but if you read the specs you'd be aware of that. Not...
I was first in line to buy this lens when it first came out. It is a very convenient lens for everyday shooting. However, I was extremely disappointed with how soft the lens is. The center of...
I shoot events for a major university. I use a Nikon D3 and just started to spend some real money on glass. Let me tell you the old adage is true. You get what you pay for. That said, the Nikon...
The VR is nice to have, and the images are usually crisp. I have a couple of photos that are almost as crisp as those from my 50mm f/1.4D. I like the zoom range - 5X is pretty flexible. This is a...
I have owned this lens for almost a year now and I have enjoyed it very much with my D50. I needed an all around and a shure shot lens for my wedding as well as travel during my honeymoon and...
I bought the 55-200VR to go with a D40. No regrets. VR works very well, and my 13-year old says that it emits a very high pitch whine. This sound is beyond what adults can hear, however many...
For the price, this lens is sharper than you would think. Since this is a DX lens, you get decent telephoto ranges on most Nikon digital SLRs. However, you don't want to use this on a D3 or a D700...
The lense is heavy and a challenge to focus; both distances and up close to the subject. It did not live up to my expectations and was returned to Amazon for a full, hassle-free credit.
This is a lens that doesn't make sense. The price point should be double the current price. Very sharp images, decent boke, great range and VR is simply incredible. Hand hold 85mm 1/6 sec, no...
I sure am surprised that I am the first person to review this awesome lens! I am very happy that I decided to drop the $250 on this lens. I was shooting with the Nikon 18-70mm lens, which was...
For Nikon DX shooters looking to expand their horizons beyond the kit lens, the 18-105mm DX ED VR f3.5-5.6 lens is an attractive and reasonably priced addition to your collection. Introduced in...
Bought this for my D40 and it's a dream to use. Small, light weight, silent, fast focus, takes excellent pics throughout it's range and it has Vibration Reduction on top of that. Makes the whole...
Please be aware of this: This listing is incorrect!!!! The price and release date is for the PRIOR version of the 18-55mm lens!! This is a listing for the one WITHOUT the VR!!!
Makes a great portrait lens - would have been better if f/1.8 - but will have to make do - build quality is very good - sharp as a tack. Find I am using it as my prime lens.Great on D40 or D60.
Photos:Nikon D3000 While many shooters are making the leap from a point-and-shoot to a dSLR, manufacturers are still in the experimental stage when it comes to determining the appropriate design...
"Love it! Hooked on photography because of this puppy"
I love this camera! I'm hooked and have switched from Canon to Nikon for life. I have a Canon MiniDV camera (GL1) and a Canon Super 8mm camera and use those all the time, but my Nikon is my...
Following on from the success of the Nikon D40 and D40x, Nikon has added yet another entry-level' digital SLR camera into the mix with the D60. Sitting somewhere between the D40x and the D80, the...
Photos and image samples: Nikon D700 For those who don't need the indestructibility or built-in vertical grip of a traditional pro dSLR like the Nikon D3 or the Canon EOS-1D Mark III --and that's...
This camera is the newest addition to my large collection. I am a jewelry photographer for the designers in the Diamond District. Fine details are what I must capture in order to then edit it and...
"Entry level...????!!!! What exactly does that mean?!"
Brilliant camera... it's for taking photos... the creativity rests behind the nose up against the viewfinder... Updated on Sep 28, 2009 ..... nose up against the LCD!!!
Nikon D3000 Review - Matt Grayson was privy to the newest entry level DSLR, the Nikon D3000. Review by Matt Grayson The Nikon D60 is dead. Long live the Nikon D3000. Replacing the 2 year old...
With a wide ISO range and a sensor capable of handling most everyday photographic situations, the D5000 is pretty much the best camera you can get in its class. If you're on the fence between a...
Digital SLRs have become very popular over the past few years, thanks to the ready availability and comparatively low cost of good quality entry-level models. It's possible to get a decent DSLR...
I have had this camera supposedly repaired by Nikon. I find it nearly unusable because focus is so unreliable from exposure to exposure regardless of lens, f-stop, auto or manual focus, electronic...
I have been a Nikon digital photographer for over 10 years. I began with the Coolpix 775 and worked my way through affordable iterations of this product line until I purchased the D40x and plunged...
Okay ... great product in many regards. 6fps, weathersealing of a tough body, plenty of tooling capacity for those whose compulsion to tweak would otherwise be left sulking. A couple issues,...
All I've read here are rave reviews but my experience is that the D300 is vastly overrated as a shooter. I bought mine brand new at Best Buy with a Tamron zoom lens and right out of the box it...
We clicked with: Top notch performance Tank like build quality Excellent displays Breaks the high ISO barrier Shots in the dark: Necessarily complex No in-body VR Creates jealousy pangs in D2X...
