Pros: Very useful all-rounder with impressive image quality

Cons: No significant flaws, as long as you do not start pixel-peeping on a D850. High distortion at mid-range (around 110 mm), easily corrected though.

Opinion: I used this lens on a D700 (12 MPix) for travel purposes. Paired with a fast lens (50/1.4 in my case), it makes a wonderful, compact setup. Picture quality is consistently high (at 28mm, better stop down a little). VR works well, so shooting sculpture details in dark churches at 300mm was not an issue. At first sight, the only obvious flaw is the pincushion distortion around 110mm. Distortion is barrel-shaped at 28, zero at 35, then turns to pincushion with a maximum around 110. The distortion is however regular and easily corrected.

Pros: Range, sharpness

Cons: None - I understood what it was and accepted the trade offs!

Opinion: Great travel lens. When I want to travel really light, I can take a FF with this lens and one other (wider), and that's it. It produces good results for most things and for most shooting situations. Obviously, it is not a prime, nor a pro-grade zoom. However, it is really a nice tool to have available for certain situations. Mine is sharp and the VR works very well. I never hesitate to use this lens, and it is actually pretty rugged.

Pros: Versatile, stabilized, sharp

Cons: it has none

Opinion: Excellent for travel documentation, very valid for all focal lengths on D3; probably increasing the resolution will bring out the limits. As for the brightness, the most modern sensors allow you to increase the iso, but they have more resolution, so the 13 mpx allow you to maintain sharpness and with the device mentioned above you can increase the iso also pushing to values that produce a beautiful fine grain that I like. You can have fun with portraiture without being too intrusive. It is stabilized, all in all not bulky, has the practical block at the minimum focal length when walking and the generous hood limits accidental damage.

Pros: Wide focal rangeGood used price

Cons: Poor photo quality

Opinion: I tried it because it was potentially interesting as the only lens for travel. It did not convince me, mainly because of the poor quality of the photos it churns out. It is true that with that dark focal ion you can not expect excellence, but I think it does not make much sense to invest in a pro camera body and use a poor lens. Another limit, subjective, is the minimum focal length at 28.Conclusion: I returned it and I hold on to the Nikon 24-120f4.

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.............
