Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

This lens was to replace our existing Sigma 70-300 APO. Not only is the Nikkor far sharper, but it also has the built in silent focus motor (AF-S) and vibration reduction (VR). This is our first lens with VR and it works very well allowing the lens to be hand-held. We always used the Sigma on a tripod. While it's no match for the 70-200 F/2.8 Nikkor, at 3x the price, this lens beats other consumer telephoto zoom lenses I've tried. By far the best 70-300 available.

Recieved my lens quickly, good communication, knew exactly what day delivery was to be made. Quality of lens is exactly as advertised. Clear sharp pictures. Flawless focusing in AF mode. The VR feature works well. Definitely a must have lens for a Nikon SLR camera.

I just want to let everyone know, Cameta rocks. This is the second item I have bought from them refurbished and their refurbished products are like new.

I'm very happy with the lens. The sharpness and color are excellent. Should be part of everyone's lens assortment. The 16-85 combined with the 70-300 is a nice setup especially if you're just starting out with Nikon.

I have had this almost since it came out and have been very happy with it. Very sharp up to the low 200's and still good at 300mm. Nice color and contrast. The VR in this lens works very well. 3-4 stops with regularity. I use it on a Nikon D50.

Other lenses owned... Sigma 10-20mm, Nikon 18-55 (Ver 1), 18-135mm and 50mm f/1.8 as well as some older film lenses.
