sent on January 24, 2023 Pros: Sharpness, value for money, AF speed, lightweight Cons: lack of tropicalization Opinion: Great lens that pairs perfectly with my trusty D7500. Given the price, I honestly have nothing to laugh about this lens. Excellent performance on all focal lengths (I do landscape and night), never had a problem so far. I've never used it to track animals on the move, so I can't tell you how it behaves on this front. A nice advantage of this lens is its lightness. This makes it great for photographic treks, as it allows me to have a great 105-400 zoom with very little weight. Obviously this is also its only defect because, given the lightness, the lens is not tropicalized. Would I buy it back? Definitely (at least for my use on DX, on FX I don't know, I should try) |
sent on June 02, 2021 Pros: Sharpness, AF speed, lightweight Cons: For the price none. Opinion: I took this canvas for my 26 to use during my nature excursions to have a canvas but that didn't weigh much. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, the lens is really sharp throughout the hike, especially if it closes at 5.6. As for the autofocus seems born for the z6, despite the adapter does not miss a shot and I had no problems with tracking during some shots in fauna, it seems born for the z6. In addition, the lens despite the adapter does not make the machine unbalanced forward being very light. The only flaw is a bit of vignetting at the edges, but very correctable in two clicks. For the price proposed above all, I think it is a really good lens and with great satisfaction. |
user47513 ![]() ![]() | sent on April 20, 2020 Pros: Weight, versatility, price Cons: Noisy stabilizer, good sharpness but not at the highest level of the category Opinion: I had it for a short time and sold, I hardly ever used it. It is a nice lens, light (but definitely long when extended and with the lampshade, certainly does not go unnoticed) very versatile because you can also use it on FF. Autofocus ok, slightly noisy stabilizer especially when activated. Really interesting price. Compared to the sigma 100-400 C on tripod, it was less sharp and engraved at full opening. Tests of specialized sites confirm that it is not super sharp, however the optical quality is good, especially closing at f8 |
sent on April 12, 2020 Pros: Speed of focus. sharpness, weight, performance in general, spectacular VR. Cons: Focus in unintuitive manual, although still effective Opinion: I'm using this lens mainly for birdlife, and I have to say that it really impressed me, the focus speed is awesome, for the value for money it has in my opinion is fantastic. nothing to say, fast, precise, sharp and even the construction looks good. Also excellent is the hooking of the lampshade, precise and with dry click. I also used this lens for portraits with I have to say really great results. I really recommend it, but be careful about the compatibility of the body with the AF-P series. |
sent on April 02, 2020 Pros: value for money, af speed. Cons: maybe not quite the maximum sharpness in TA Opinion: beautiful lens. I needed a canvas not too pushed to accompany the never-more-without 24-105 and I must say that this is the right lens for my taste. I took it the week before the lockdown so I couldn't get out, I tried it with test shots from the balcony. but I really liked it. at TA maybe it is not very sharp, but it is also possible that "the handle" is not perfect :-)) I highly recommend, because it is quietly less than 600 or nital at a little more. |
sent on April 01, 2020 Pros: seems built for the z6,silent,sharp fast,vr effective Cons: but just nothing Opinion: I needed a lens to be flanked by the 24-70 on z6, if it were not that to mount it you need the ftz adapter, this looks like it was born for the z6, I didn't want to believe it, nothing to envy to much more expensive lenses, maybe the construction could be more lending, but surely it would be changed the costs as well, but nikon gave us a gift, rating 10 |
sent on February 13, 2020 Pros: crisp, fast, light, with beautiful contrast, effective VR Cons: plastic body and visible vignetting however well correct in-room Opinion: Here's a lens that doesn't come into focus, it's just already on fire the moment you turn on the car. This small detail, which is its operational feature, is the premise for its very high speed. The quality of the files is very good, of course... not at the level of the 'top' telephoto objectives but defends itself well and ... if we want to... the 'feathers' of the bird on duty from time to time can also be distinguished well in the frame. It certainly shines with the speed of its focus system, the lightness and great effectiveness of the stabilization system, combined with state-of-the-art image quality for the category. Employed by me on an appreciable but dated D7200 (at least as AF), it showed a remarkable speed of focus that allowed me - among other things - to shoot numerous birds in flight, all perfectly in focus (never happened -to me-). Certainly, used on more efficient autofocus machines such as the D500 or the D850 (or the Z series), it can perform real miracles, also thanks to its great transportability, which makes it a perfect travel lens. If uploaded without corrections, the images show a sensitive vignetting that is perfectly corrected by machine parameters and post-production software. It may generate some doubt, about his life expectancy, the fact that he has the barrel made in the classic polycarbonate used by Nikon, but given the experience with many other lenses, these can be more 'lyse' than real problems. Grade 10 -compared to the category- |
sent on February 17, 2019 Pros: Sharp, very fast autofocus, light and well built Cons: But no one Opinion: I took this lens on the occasion of my recent trip to USA, matching it to a D500... What about, exceptional lens, at last at a human price. It is always sharp, even at full aperture and focal length, it is light, practical and well built, but we will see over time the mechanism of the zoom that ends... I would recommend it. Rated 10. |
sent on January 13, 2019 Pros: Unbeatable value for money. Construction. Sharpness even at the maximum focal speed and noiselessness of the autofocus. Cons: For the moment no one. Opinion: Bought recently taking advantage of the Nikon cashback, still used for a few shots impressed me with the sharpness and speed of autofocus, plus silent. Absolutely recommended. I use it with the D7500 with which it matches to perfection also as weight. The performance is exceptional, I have not yet got to test the stabilizer thoroughly but I think we are at excellent levels. From its also the tropicalization. |
sent on January 13, 2019 Pros: Lightweight (for its category), AF fast, silent and precise, sharp even at T.A., VR in ' Sport ' mode very effective, blurred very pleasant, beautiful colors Cons: At the time not received Opinion: All said in the ' pros ', for its headband it has an unbeatable value for money. It costs a bit more than the third party counterparts, but it's really worth it. If you do sports photos, or in general, with moving subject, the VR ' sport ' alone is worth the difference. Used with APS-C (D7500 + BG) It balances well with the camera body. Recommended |
sent on November 27, 2018 Pros: Embarrassing Full-aperture sharpness even from edge to edge compared to all competition, Extreme Lightness, AF Speed Cons: Slight VR noise, maybe a bit of the cost... but there's Opinion: I wanted at all costs a 70-300 to complete my FF kit, but I always thought it wasn't worth spending any more money on a duplicate, already having a 70-200 2.8 (the Tamron G2). I tried many third-party goals as well, but the end result never fully fulfilled me. Then I decided to buy this lens, also to create a superlight set to also associate with the D5600 that I use as a second body.. The sharpness is embarrassing to say the least, especially from the center to the edges, for a zoom, pointed out as medium-economic, to any focal point, even at 300. The automatic MAF is literally baffled: on my D750, the sound of the Step_Motor engine is absent and the moment that passes between the press of the AF button and the beep of the subject acquisition is really nil. The VR anti vibration system is efficient and with a minimum of attention I was able to shoot quietly at 1/25 without any hint of motion. The quality perceived is really high, the colors are really excellent and well balanced. Absence of chromatic aberration, only a very slight flare, at least in the tests carried out. And then, crucially, it's absolutely light.. Light... light, my D750 looks like an APS-C optics.... To try absolutely !!!!!! Update to 11/2020: I tried the optics on the D780 and all its good features seem to enhance even more with a microcontrast myst, in liveview "PERFECT" !!! Eighty-year job Nikon !!! |
sent on July 08, 2018 Pros: Weight, VR, speed set to kelp, beautiful to see Cons: For now nothing Opinion: Used today for the first time to a race of Drag Racing, machines and dragster, on 209 photographs me has got a barrel. The D500 always does its job in an excellent way and usually around Col 200-500, but for pictures taken on the fly without tripod the 70-300 is scary, and with a little bit of 34 degrees the weight serves.......... great lens, maybe Cara, but the quality you pay |
sent on May 26, 2018 Pros: Sharpness, quiet, fast AF Cons: Anything, price? Opinion: Used with the D500 today for the first time at a flower show in Turin, I just viewed 100 shots, exciting the color rendition, the blurry, outstanding in the focals and intermediate apertures... it was a good day lunminosa, remains to be tested in more conditions Difficult and at the focal and extreme diaphragms. I replaced 18-300.... and there is no comparison.... I'm satisfied. |
sent on April 18, 2018 Pros: lightness, sharpness, AF speed and quietness Cons: for now no one. Opinion: I bought this lens from a few days to use it both with the d800 with the d500. I purchased it to use it as a handyman for its lightness. I tried, good, its sharpness with the d500 on the same subject and with the same settings, comparing it with the Tamron 16-300 and with the Nikkor 300 mm f/4. At 300 mm, with a static subject sharpness was just below the 300 f/4. I tried it then in different situations, but I was always satisfied and made me bring home shots consistently good. Considering its price and the reason why I got it, I'm happy with our purchase. |
sent on April 18, 2018 Pros: Light, fast, quiet and very sharp. Cons: Maybe the price but you get what you pay for Opinion: Purchased to join him to D500 for sports shots, he immediately detected. Fast and accurate AF, don't miss a shot! Even the sharpness was way above my expectations. Highly recommend for events that require quickness and speed. PS: I honestly don't understand the low rating card (currently 8.7) ... hard to be disappointed with this lens. I noticed also that several pictures in this gallery were taken with a D3100, machine is not compatible with this view. So I think that they are shots made with the DX version, and the difference is noticeable! |
sent on February 03, 2018 Pros: All. Lightness, stabilization, focus, cost. Cons: Vignette at the maximum focal length. Opinion: Objective that surprised me from the first use for fast and precise autofocus, the very effective stabilizer, with the choice for normal use or sport. Color rendition alive and well contrasted. Low weight, considering the focal length, well balanced with the FF.rnUnico point to disfavor, vignette at maximum focal length. In conclusion, low cost and affordable, with a quality comparable to other much more expensive zooms. I recommend it, it will surprise you. |
sent on December 10, 2017 Pros: Everything, lightness, focus, stabilization. Cons: For now nothing Opinion: I took this light because it is light and easy to manage. For quick photos it has an impressive focusing speed, with 24-120 and I do not need anything else! It is not worth spending more and carrying kg of material! Turning for a historical parade where everything flows in speed, not even a picture out of focus! Although I have other quality optics, it is always in the bag! |
