The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on May 08, 2020 Pros: Versatile and "sincere" Cons: no one taken into account is a "all-rounder" Opinion: I use it on D800 which has a very "bad" sensor with possibly incompetent targets. That said the 28-300mm does not excel in sharpness, does not excel in aberration, does not excel in distortion and vignette, and is not even Flash Gordon in the AF with subject that moves, but...................... it's always good! This is the value of this zoom, it never slips down and always manages to make you take a good photo or in the worst case lets you correct in post-production the problems. A little advice; from 200mm to 300mm always look for the F/8>F/11 and it will never betray you, and when possible turn off the VR so that it is more "faithful"! In summary with him I take 50/60% of all my photos with D800 and I enjoy instigate it on the 1V3 turning it into a 75.6mm-810mm capable of sports-action photos and capable of focusing at 30.5cm with ambient light! It would be nice if it were an F/2.8-4.5 but............. I think it would cost more than twice as much............. |
 | sent on August 24, 2019 Pros: Unexpected quality and undeniable versatility. Cons: In its design and usage context, none. Opinion: For me, this lens is really good. You have to understand that you have on your hands a pushed zoom that covers from the wide angle to the canvas and whose quality (considering what it does) is excellent. In addition, compared to other zooms, it is compact and lighter. If you necessarily need 2.8 and higher performance, there's obviously more. VR helps a lot. I wouldn't relegate it to the too simplistic category of "all-rounder - go away light" because on digital the yield is very satisfying. |
  | sent on December 22, 2018 Pros: Unparalleled versatility. High performance, sharpness and excellent image quality for the type of lens. VR system at times of incredible efficiency. Also excellent on DX machine. Fast Autofocus and generally efficient. A must for every photographic output and especially for a trip, paired maybe to a small bright prime when it gets dark. Even the bokeh is not bad for the type of lens. Cons: Limits, defects and aberrations characteristics of the category (but much can be corrected via software in Post, when not directly from the firmware of the machine). In particular a certain softness species at the angles and the edges with open diaphragms and particularly over the 135 mm. Even the 28 are sometimes a bit soft (but respond well to sharpening in Post). On some occasions, heavy vignetting with circular banding of the sky, impossible to eliminate altogether in Post. High weight, high cost (but you pay quality and versatility and in the end agrees). Better to change definitely lens if you shoot at night freehand. Opinion: This lens, with me from the 2012, is literally my "workhorse". I always take it in almost every photographic output, independently of the machine (at the moment I have a D800 and a D5600) and, knowing its limits, always has great satisfactions. Even better then since the post-production Software has evolved to the point that really reduce the flaws. It's particularly fun, and has even better performance (it will look weird) on DX machine! Lets get to well 450 mm equivalent, it's even more sharp than not on FX machine, and all in all the 42 mm starting equivalents are acceptable as "wide" if you get used to making 10 steps back... The VR system is sometimes amazing, and I get several perfectly sharp shots at 1/15 and even at 1/10 to 450 mm equivalent!! Everything worked beautifully even with the D3200 I had for a year in 2012/3. Basically I had thrown on one side the 18-55 VR kit (which was half-crap, maybe I had a failed!) and I always wanted to attack the 28-300. I have serious problems right with some heavy vignetting to Tele, which ruin the sky giving circular banding impossible to remove even with the best Raw converter, but only happens on some shots. The lens is contraindicated in the dark freehand. The VR, which works wonders, does not do enough if it is just dark, and it is easy to find with soft photos or with the necessity of Sideral Iso, which then obviously hesitate in too much noise or too many details "planed" When you go to remove. |
  | sent on November 09, 2018 Pros: Focal hike, still good sharpness for prints also A2 on camera at 36 mpx, at closed diaphragms, is sharp enough for A3 prints even at open diaphragms, has efficient stabilization and AF fast enough. Cons: Nothing, given the focal hike Opinion: Optics Handyman par excellence, obviously unpretentious, I bought it to replace the 18-200 since I no longer use the Dx format. It is very sharp diaphragmed a bit, the stabilization works well, the AF is valid, all without excelling in anything but Especially without serious deficiencies. The use for light and non-demanding outputs, not to carry too much weight: does not betray, does its job reliably. The optics was taken new, was slightly disaxed, blurted a little ' on the right, I sent it to ltr for recalibration in the warranty, and came back calibrated very well, very good sharpness, have done a nice job. It deforms geometrically less than the Nikkor 24-70 f 2.8, and at closed diaphragms, towards F 6.3-F 8, in practice it has the same sharpness. |
 | sent on October 03, 2018 Pros: Lens all make in the absolute sense. Cons: It's not the maximum brightness. Opinion: I have been using this lens for several years, more than once I've been on the verge of selling it to raise a bit of money to buy brighter and better-performing optics, but then at the last moment I was always stuck, after all this optic allowed me to Shooting continuously while others next to me were obliged to change lenses or camera body. Of course I prefer my 24-70 f/2.8 But there are cases in which I have not had the time material to hack and change the lens to mount the 70/200 F/2.8 and just in those moments the good old 28/300 has continued to do very well his work. |
| sent on August 30, 2018 Pros: Weight, portability, compactness, sharpness Cons: It is an all-rounder lens not a bright Opinion: I state that I am a simple amateur photographer but I must say that for my experience this optics gave me great satisfaction and returned beautiful photos. I took it second-hand safe used on ebay. Precise Af even in low-light situations, sharp enough at all focal lengths. Perhaps the shorter focal suffers from perspective distortion that corrects itself in post. Great if you have to take a trip and not bring so many optics behind to change. At 28mm you can do it quietly Street and also some portrait set. It resisted rain wind of the desert etc. I recommend it. |
 | sent on April 06, 2016 Pros: Ductility, speed autofocus (is an afs), good sharpness for an all-rounder zoom, multiplication factor on the right (which would not have with a 70-300 standard), VR stabilizer, perfect for travel, reportage and daytime sports, beautiful blur to maximum range, sturdy construction, able to surprise in a variety of circumstances Cons: the external zoom range (could enter a little 'dust over the years, even though my will is still free though it was rather exploited), no other limit that no one who can commonly expect is aware of what is using it, and He can not understand what is the meaning and usefulness of this perspective. Opinion: I always read different opinions with respect to this view, often realizing that such judgments come from those who do not understand the usage target (really varied, but of course with some limitation that frankly I find normal). Working with this lens for 6 years (yes, we work) mostly for the purpose of journalistic reportage and sports (day), but I was able to appreciate the quality and usefulness especially during challenging journeys, where my need was that of remaining with the light backpack. I had also a way to test it on a trip to Iceland (getting really good results with nikon d700) where I did not at all regret fixed wide-angle and telephoto lenses ... But now I'll tell you a story to do justice to this lens ... precisely during this trip, I happened to meet a young photography enthusiast who, having learned of my conscious choice to take with me only 28-300, wanted to point out the following: "the 28-300? But not is a goal! When youMoney buys a 70-200! "... .... ..." And thanks to AC ***, my dear traveler in shorts in the icy wastes of Iceland "- I wanted to answer - before you drown my disappointment in a beer in the only Seydisfjordur cool bar ... that said, it is a lens that has to be understood, and that not everyone understands. it is obvious that it is right to orient themselves elsewhere, although I can say that in the most varied for specific needs, this lens circumstances has always surprised me. Ps. I have used it and I use it often on the right for street photo and excursions, also exploiting the crop factor and always bringing home good results. |
 | sent on February 23, 2016 Pros: versatility and quality of the results - the perfect travel companion Cons: It is not very light ... Opinion: I purchased this light for a major trip: it was necessary to travel light and I chose the 28-300VR trusting the good reviews on the net. After 12 days and almost 4000 shots I feel I can say I am really happy with the fact of purchase! Making quick, precise focusing, VR really effective, really sharp and excellent color. convenient zoom lock because in fact tends to expand when you hold the machine neck. The boken not my thing but still is not too bad either (cosiderato all). is not bright by increasing the focal length, but with the D750 are quietly climbed to the ISO and have always found a great mix of aperture, time and noise levels ... we say that closing around f8 I have found that makes the best .... The absolutely recommend. |
 | sent on February 08, 2016 Pros: sharpness, hooking af fast, Vr great ... Cons: vignetting, distortion parluce chromatic aberrations unwatchable and annoying Opinion: Excellent lens for reading outputs ... not to bring along all the equipment of goals ... not comparable to the pros but more 'than satisfactory distortion at all focal lengths but correctable in pp..Unico neo real propio and' that .. . I possess even the Nikon 70-200 f / 4 and noted that to 200mm and 'virtually the same focal length of 28-300 mm to 300 and from 200 to 300 the minimum zoom and clearly ... does anyone know' explain why 'thanks |
 | sent on December 03, 2015 Pros: No light versatility that can match, focal lengths comparable to 70-300 vc, possessed. Cons: For shooting in the dark house, but that we already knew, for one that has changed the Tamron 24-70 vc why Nikkor, stabilizer that is slow to take action: well over 1 second, lens hood that is not put to shame is so inconsistent. Opinion: I own a few days coupled with the D750, grade 7, I do not know whether the machine or the lens to make its job well, the pictures are fine if the diaphragm is at least one stop. For photos inside the house using the flash Metz 44 and I am amazed at the quality of the details. Recommended for those who like me has tried / owned only 70-200, everything else is! |
 | sent on November 03, 2015 Pros: Good construction, excellent sharpness, good stability, excellent value for money. Cons: Anything that an ordinary mortal like me can feel important ... Opinion: It is the ideal all-rounder for the full format Nikon; before buying it I used the same role, the 24-120 F3.5-5.6 that was more than satisfactory (disagree with many snobs), but often felt the need of longer focal lengths. The 28-300 is almost always one of three optical accompanying me on my excursions; the other two are the Sigma 12-24 and the Sigma 105 Macro OS HSM. If you plan to take pictures "important" I load with 2.8 optical drive, but most of my shots are practiced today be highly recommended to me with this 28-300.rn |
user68827  | sent on September 23, 2015 Pros: Lightweight compact zoom range minimum distance of focus sharpness build quality at all focal lengths Cons: no one at the time only against any pro Opinion: after having loved his brother 18 300 f 3.5 5.6 a fx dx having added to my kit I decided to change coverage at all focal lengths of 300 and d700 and breathtaking sharp at all focal ideal companion for every occasion virtually no I remove it from the machine bought used with very few shots to his credit at a price equal to half and was really a good buy everyone should have one rnrn |
 | sent on September 18, 2015 Pros: focal range, sharpness, vr, minimum distance of focus Cons: weight, cost, hood that gives the idea of ??fragility Opinion: I bought this obj for travel, and flanked by a 10 to 24 on D7100, it allows me to have a full range of focal. Very satisfied incisiveness, also higher than the 70-300 vr, the fundamental drawback to this is that obj is a true 300mm if's focused at infinity, so that in spite of the exif always say 300 mm, less than 1 focheggiando mt, equivalent to about a 135 mm |
| sent on January 18, 2015 Pros: Versatility, lightness, focus Cons: Distortion and vignetting, but they are small compared to pro Opinion: It is a fantastic lens, ideal for travel and outputs read. The real handyman for full frame. Obviously it has some flaws, due to the incredible extension, but the versatility that gives you is priceless. Indispensable for travelers and advanced amateurs. rnOttima sharpness at small apertures, fast focusing and precise weight and bulk content. rnIo recommend it to everyone. rn |
 | sent on November 07, 2014 Pros: surprisingly clear, satisfactory performance at all focal lengths to be a handyman so extreme, even the discrete fuzzy ... the burden is manageable, the impeccable construction, FF indispensable companion for street reportage or "stolen", capturing moments that with landlines or as short as you zoom dreams Cons: aberrations, vignetting, and above all the distortions are obvious to the focal minimal, although not excessive and easily cleared in pp; the rays at f22 is very poorly defined Opinion: The alternative as a handyman is 24-120, which is slightly more defined and contrasted; the overall dimensions, weight and distortion are almost equivalent, but all variables to the advantage of 24-120. The 28-300 in his pro is a lens that gives amazing results and possibilities, in the format "all in one". The optical quality is very good for the whole focal range but is less than the 24-120, even if not too much, compared to which, however, is a handyman comprehensive. Everyone decides to suit your needs ... |
 | sent on August 14, 2014 Pros: Size, focal length, stabilizer Cons: No one in relation to the type of target Opinion: I took this lens with the purpose of use in picnics with family or holidays, but I'm using it more than I thought because it's really eccezionale.rnLa photo quality is not comparable to that produced by a 24/70 or a 70/200, but it is certainly satisfactory for a multitude of situazioni.rnE 'really the ideal lens for traveling leggeri.rnNon I would use it for birds because his bad side comes out between 250 and 300 mm, but everything else is a large lens |
 | sent on February 17, 2013 Pros: Compact, lightweight, stable, acceptable price, wide range of focal lengths in one lens. Cons: The usual defects of this range of objectives: chromatic aberration, unclear images from 200 to 300mm. Opinion: This objective would call the "handyman" for excellence in travel and on those occasions when you can not afford to have all your photographic gear at your mano.rnSu a body full frame camera like the Nikon D700 or D800E shows the limits in term of image quality. rnSe shooting in Jpeg without any subsequent post production file such defects are evident and consist of a slight distortion at all focal lengths, 28 mm there is a slight vignetting and overall the images are deficient in local contrast. rnRispetto to the top of the range presents optical chromatic aberrations are more pronounced and you can see the whole picture a more ovattata.rnSe shooting in Raw and proceed to the next post production file all these defects can be corrected without problemi.rnL 'only case in which I do not recommend the use of this lens is in the execution of shots with long shutter times or with high ISO values ??as in night photography or astrophotography where these defects are difficult to correggere.rnChi would ratheruse this lens on a APS-C sensor will be left with an effective focal length range 42-450 mm without problems vignettatura.rnConsiglio this objective to those who are in search of convenience at the expense of a loss of image quality. rnHo decided to sell it when I switched to the Nikon D800E where manifests significant limitations especially when shooting with long time with high shutter speed or ISO, the D700 if he drew still pretty good. |
| sent on October 01, 2012 Pros: Comfort - Stabilization - Lightweight Cons: 300 mm shows significant limitations Opinion: I use it on the D700 and it's really the classic lens trip. Light, fast, bright enough and covers very well almost all focal indispensable. The limits are for 300mm which is not at ease ... :-) But if by any chance you want to take on the road with you all the photographic equipment and only a goal, this will not make you regret the choice! |
 | sent on February 18, 2012 Pros: Great ease of use-Great stabilizazione-quiet-not too heavy-excellent contrast Cons: a good distortion at all focal lengths (thankfully recovered) and a little soft at 300mm Opinion: Contrary to what I read on various blogs is not bad, and more than appreciated. Not comparable, of course, corresponding to the various fixed, nor the various 24-70 or 70-200 (belonging to another planet) can certainly do his job! I noticed quite a contrast at all focal lengths and I was surprised for the excellent stabilization, fast focus and weight. Optical definitely travel thanks to the remarkable focal range does not make you absolutely regret for the cost and, above all, I can finally leave the house with a single machine and a single goal!! And I can assure you that it is so! |
