Great lens! Would definitely buy again. I have yet to use it during sports but with the reviews Im excited to see the results within the next few months. Great zoom in and out.

Ive used this lens for portraits, at the zoo, and as a poor-mans macro lens (1:4 reproduction ratio). The sharpness is very impressive, especially coupled with the D7100. Of course the D7100 can handle the 70-200 f/2.8 even better, but that monster weighs over twice as much, and costs about 4x more. The only reason you would need the 70-200 f/2.8 is for low light or you are shooting sports professionally. Ive heard complaints about the zoom ring feeling "plasticky". Yes the body of this lens is made of plastic. That is a big reason why it is so light. This is not a downside in my eyes. Compared to something like the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 on DX... the weight is comparable, but the main problem here is that anyone who might even possibly some day go to a full frame camera will not want the Sigma. Why pay more for a lens that isnt usable if you upgrade to full frame? This Nikon handles equally well on FX and DX, which is a big plus to me, as a DX user who will probably go to FX some day.

Great lens, liked the auto focus. Not the fastest lens out there, but works well for my d5200. 300mm is zoom, but not as zoomed as you might expect. For someone looking to zoom in on one feather on a bird from 20ft, this isnt the lens. Im not dissappointed with the lens. It just didnt zoom like I thought it would.

I replaced my kit lens with this one, and I havent looked back since. For what it is and what its worth, its kind of a powerhouse. Im still learning the ins and outs of DSLR photography, but man, I love this thing. Ive recently shot some of my best so far with it.

I really enjoy this lens with my D3400 Nikon camera I only got to take a few pictures while learning about the lens. Manually focused the lens to take pictures and I enjoyed the quality even though I only got a few minutes to take pictures. Im looking forward to taking more when Im off work and home.

I have a Tamron 300-600mm that I absolutely love but it just isnt practical for some situations. I bought this Nikon lens because it is smaller,lighter, and more portable. The lens is definitely easier to pack and carry around with you but I do find that I miss that extra reach. I mostly photograph birds and 300mm in my hands just isnt enough reach to get the kind of photographs that I really want. The quality of the photos is not amazing but good enough for most uses and I did get a used copy of the lens so this could just be my particular one. All in all for most people I think this is going to be a great lens. If you do lots of wildlife or birds I think you may find that you need more reach.

Excellent buy and like the zoom...I only gave it a 4 rating merely because I have a Nikon D3100 and I didnt see the fine print that it would not AF on my unit so it has to be manually focused. I like the convenience of AF but the lens will get used...just not as much as my other lenses.

Decent lens. Good zoom. Some times I have to switch to manual focus when zoomed out but that is just to get really sharp in focus photos I guess the auto focus has trouble getting a good fix when the lens is all the way out. If you dont use a telephoto lens a lot, its a good light use / hobby photography level lens.

Great lens, if you order the correct one. If you have a d3400 or d5600 or anything lower than a d7200 the auto focus wont work. For those you need the AF-S lens, not the AF lens. If you can stand manual focusing, its not much of an issue, but you will not have auto focus if you get the AF lens for the "entry level" cameras.

I have a Nikon D3300 and this lens would not focus with my camera to save my life... I had to send it back
