Cons: The biggest drawback is, that the lensmount is also made of the same breakable plastics like the whole lens and not of sturdy metal as it is usually used for changeable lenses. So no wonder that we see offerings of defective lenses that are broken near the base. In my eyes It's more a toy than a tool.

Pros: Not much to tell, intermediate in every term. Pictures are not bad, but I think that the resolution of my 24MP camera is strongly limited by the optics of cheap lens. Barrel distortion is not very strong but is visible in every focal length. CA is visible in RAW.

Summary: One of the cheapest Nikkors, and if you look closer, you know why. Overall I'm not really impressed of it and I tend to use fixed focal length lenses instead.

Cons: Overexposes in sunny conditions. Unpredictable. I take the exact same shot and settings with a 18-55 and it's fine. With the 55-300 it's totally overexposed.

Pros: Value and weight.

Summary: The first lens I purchased following a move into amateur DSLR photography with the Nikon D3100.

Cons: Slow autofocus

Pros: Sharp, price and weight

Summary: I have been using this lens extensively. The pictures are sharp, really sharp at all foal lengths. I am a bit let down by the AF, the lens does not even autofocus when it comes to continuous shooting. However, given the price you just cannot complain. This is a great lens for its price

Cons: Bad CR. Poor sharpness. Rickety and cheap feeling. VR could be better.

Pros: Light, easy to use. Decent AF. Cheap.

Summary: Compared with the similarly priced kit lens 18-55mm, it is chalk and cheese. High marks chalked up for the kit lens, but this zoom is a bit more Lidl half-fat than premium Ruquefort. I don't like, can you tell? :-)

Cons: Abit overexposed when shooting outdoor especially under bright sunny condition (except for dark cloudy situation). Set to -1.0 to get a richer sharper balanced image. Low light condition may be abit tricky but as long as you know how to play around with suitable ISO and Shutter speed, then it'll be alright even handheld.

Pros: Inexpensive, it's light to carry with decent built quality. Sharp from 55mm all the way to 200mm. VR is truly an advantage and helpful especially from 135 to 200mm. Great colour production and also fast AF.

Summary: Made a research through several sites and no doubt, all the reviews were correct about this lens. It's worth to invest with and it's not too big to bring along wherever you go. VR is truly important for tele lens and the VR on this is working very well expected. I've got nothing to complain for a lens with such price. No regret spent on this lens, go for it! Becoz it has got good 2nd hand value too when you wanted to let it go in the future for another lens :)

Cons: build quality

Pros: excellent images,sharpness, boke, VR, light weight, low price

Summary: Such a great deal in a lens, hard to not purchase

Cons: Plastic lens mount, average optical quality, pop-up design, huge vignetting

Pros: lightweight, HSM, VR, big zoom ring

Summary: Good choice for this money and for amateur users

Cons: cheap construction, AF may be more accurate and fast, expecially accurate.

Pros: very good image quality straight over 200mm. Many 70-300 lenses performs decent until 200mm, then lacks in quality. This Nikkor generates in every condition, excellent images. Efficient VR system, but cheaper than other Nikkor lenses.

Summary: excellent price/performance ratio. Very recommended.

Cons: Plastic mount, VR maybe not as effective as higher end VR lenses. Can produce a slight blue-tint on full zoom, easy fixed in post-processing.

Pros: Great quality for very cheap, Light, fun to use, no obvious CA or fringing

Summary: A very affordable, light-weight, no fuss tele-photo lens.

Cons: Plastic lens mount

Pros: lightweight, nice results, useful VR, Great VFM

Summary: Great companion at low price :)
