About this deal

The build quality of this optic is typical of Nikon's mid to higher end consumer lenses, with the lens barrel constructed from high quality plastics sporting a textured finish. HD Digital Frame is a great way to put your portfolio on display and a great way to surface forgotten memories.

It moves too fast for precise focus at the longer focal lengths where you need it, and almost OK at the short end, where you don't.

Nikon was able to do this by using a high refractive index (HR) lens element (which allows using a single lens element instead of multiple elements made of standard glass), without compromising sharpness and image quality.

Japan is my dream destination and I believe that one day I will be sipping green tea while ogling at Mount Fuji. pincushion distortion has replaced the barrelling, which may become noticeable when straight lines are paramount.Engage with our used photography equipment partner MPB in a forum dedicated to giving members the opportunity to feedback their experiences or seek advice.

The Nikon 55-300mm VR DX feels almost as nice as Nikon's serious amateur lenses like the 28-300mm VR and 16-35mm VR. The images might appear “cloudy” if the sun reaches the front element of the lens, so I would just keep the supplied hood on at all times. Either they could choose a lens covering the popular 70-300mm range designed to cover a full frame sensor, but this would leave a gap between 55mm and 70mm, or they could purchase a superzoom lens covering up to 300mm, but this would often result in a slower maximum aperture at 300mm and compromised optical quality. Finally at 300mm the sharpness at maximum aperture is certainly acceptable, but stopping down the lens to f/8 improves matters noticeably. Perfect for travel, sunsets, or sporting shots, the shallow depth of field and dramatic telephoto compression effects achievable also make for a beautiful portrait shot creating a soft background and attractively flattening facial features.This product is eligible for a replacement or refund within 1-Year of receipt if it does not work as expected.

The number of tests depends on the individual product but we are confident in this product having tested all the major functions. Also tested the responsiveness of this lens and I'm impressed, Autofocus it's pretty fast in good light conditions and some dim light circumstances, although it has tendency to hunt for the subject when there is little light, when it finds it, snaps right into focus.It compensates for handheld camera shake or nearby vibrations that can cause a loss of image sharpness.
