Affordable telephoto lens for 35mm or crop
Post by: aloofyouth - Date: 2008-12-17T22:02:30.000-08:00 Author's Rating: Pros: High quality, cheap price Cons: Not great in low light, difficult to hold for long periods The Bottom Line: Unless you shoot a lot of moving subjects in low light, this may be the only telephoto lens you ever need. Long enough focal length even for casual birdwatchers! Review: aloofyouth Read full review
Great lens
Post by: khaled-alsibai - Date: 2008-01-27T01:38:59.000-08:00 Author's Rating: Pros: Price, Quality, VR, all over is a good deal Cons: 4.5-5.6 is slow for wild photography and fast shots. The Bottom Line: Review: khaled-alsibai Read full review
Another good Nikon lens
Post by: rbr28 - Date: 2007-11-12T13:36:57.000-08:00 Author's Rating: Pros: VR, image quality, cost compared to faster lenses or bigger zooms. Cons: f/5.6 at 300mm is limiting. The Bottom Line: One of the best options for a first lens, if you need the reach. Review: rbr28 Read full review
Middleweight champ of a lens!
Post by: sailingshot - Date: 2006-12-13T17:56:33.000-08:00 Author's Rating: Pros: Optical and VR technology that used to cost much more! Cons: Still slow glass, not pro build quality. The Bottom Line: Another excellent tool for your serious kit, and great for the casual shooter as well! Review: sailingshot Read full review
Not worth the money at all
Post by: sailingshot - Date: 2006-12-04T04:30:18.000-08:00 Author's Rating: Pros: Better built than other 70-300 models at the moment. Cons: Silly price for what you get. NO macro mode. The Bottom Line: If you must have 300mm, buy the Sigma version. If 200mm will do, the Nikon 28-200G is a gem for 300.00. Review: sailingshot Read full review
Good compliment for the D70 and D50
Post by: ke8yy - Date: 2006-01-09T06:47:02.000-08:00 Author's Rating: Pros: Inexpensive, wide range of focal lengths, good performance for the money. Cons: Not very rugged, no direct manual control on older Nikons. The Bottom Line: Review: ke8yy Read full review
Bang for the buck!
Post by: uniq - Date: 2005-10-27T12:53:13.000-08:00 Author's Rating: Pros: extreme optical quality, excellent construction, includes case and integrated lens hood Cons: excellent price point vs its bigger brother the F/2.8...but still expensive. Lens collar The Bottom Line: It may be an F/4 but you save $4000! and get awesome performance. It works fantastically well with Nikon teleconverters. Review: uniq Read full review

Post by: hawkgenes - Date: 2005-07-31T11:52:21.000-08:00 Author's Rating: Pros: Excellent resolution and contrast. Robust design but with a relatively light construction. Cons: Tough enough for hobby use, but probably not robust enough for professional use. The Bottom Line: Review: hawkgenes Read full review
Didn't expect a lot, but got even less
Post by: pringlw - Date: 2005-01-16T09:31:55.000-08:00 Author's Rating: Pros: Light, inexpensive, relatively small Cons: Very poor AF (constantly hunts), lots of chromatic aberration The Bottom Line: This lens let me down. The images are not what you would expect from a ED glass and the autofocus system is poor. Review: pringlw Read full review
Great Versatility
Post by: petdad - Date: 2003-11-25T16:55:16.000-08:00 Author's Rating: Pros: Fast, light, portable! Cons: Not extremely heavy duty, be careful in transport The Bottom Line: Review: petdad Read full review
Boat anchor
Post by: fastone - Date: 2002-10-16T01:09:26.000-08:00 Author's Rating: Pros: Price is low for a lens that covers this range. Cons: It has ED glass but it doesn't pay off The Bottom Line: Nikon is pushing cheap consumer lens that just don't make the grade. Review: fastone Read full review
Nikon 70-300 A New Version of an Old Standby
Post by: Howard_Creech - Date: 2000-04-28T09:06:54.000-08:00 Author's Rating: Pros: Faster, ED glass, lighter, cheaper Cons: No rotating tripod collar The Bottom Line: Nikon's update of the venerable 75-300 Nikkor is a bit lighter, a bit faster, and has better resolution.
