Pros: Wight, Sharpness at all Focal Length, specially at 300mm, Weather Sealing, Very Good VR

Cons: Maybe the Price...

Opinion: First, sorry for my bad Englisch. I did not expect so much from the glass, so more I was surprised how sharp the lens is. This at all focal lengths, at 70mm i see minimal distortion, but even from 80mm this is hardly noticeable. The price may seem a bit too high, but with the weather resistance, the costs amotize again. In addition the weight, and the so far best VR which I experienced in a lens, and the absolutely inaudible autofocus make the glass for me to a perfect companion. I am really very positively surprised, from me a clear buy recommendatio. Only one Thing, Lightroom have at the Moment no Profile. I hope that will come soon....

Pros: LIGHTNESS, Sharpness, Contrast, Instant AF

Cons: Drive by wire ring nut and lack of distance scale

Opinion: The lens immediately amazed me with its lightness, sharpness and AF speed. Mind you, it's not for purely professional use, but it does what a 70-300 should do, in the best way of any other model past nikon or not. It can be taken to the mountains, quickly follows birds in flight and cars on the track, the sharpness in the center is excellent even at TA and up to 300mm, it needs to be closed to f8-11 to increase sharpness at the edges in landscape (like any other lens) The non-mechanical ring without any scale left me dumbfounded when one evening I couldn't focus to infinity. Otherwise it is a spectacular lens in its field of use

Pros: Light, easy to handle, razor-sharp up to 280mm even at T.A., excellent stabilizer up to 4.5 EV, lightning-fast AF, 9-blade aperture, focusing distance at 1.2 meters (at 300mm)

Cons: Infinity sharpness from 280 to 300mm at T.A., lack of a zoom ring lock, lack of distance scale, price of new

Opinion: Bought on hand almost like new to replace the valid 70-300 G VR, slow and inaccurate in AF on ML Nikon Z. After reading the rave reviews about Juza, I expected a blade-sharp telezoom lens at all focal lengths, even at full aperture. After numerous tests I can say with certainty that science fiction has not yet become reality and, to have "space" performance on this range of focal lengths, 600-650 euros are not enough, especially at Nikon: the 70-300 is in fact very sharp up to 280mm even at T.A., especially at close range. Then, at infinity and from 280 to 300mm, you have to close at least 2/3 stops to get good quality images. For the rest, nothing to say: very fast and precise autofocus, excellent stabilizer, respectable optical quality up to the fateful 280mm, optimal lightness and handling, nice bokeh thanks to the 9 blades of the diaphragm, improved optical scheme compared to the old 70-300 G. I would recommend it for the portability and versatility that make me almost always put it in my bag, while I would definitely leave a lens of significantly larger size, weight and price at home. Too bad I don't have the Zoom ring lock. The lens, unfortunately, extends on its own due to the force of gravity and the weight of the lenses. Overall rating 9.2

Pros: Light, well built, fast af, silent, with d500 I detect excellent optical quality, smooth focus ring.

Cons: On d810 lower quality than on d500, no distance window

Opinion: Plasticky optics someone writes, but it is light.. I consider the construction robust and solid, for excursions at high altitude it is excellent ... AFP very fast and silent (those who consider it noisy use the lens perhaps for videos and maybe the noise of the stabilizer is recorded, but let's talk about it ..) , smooth focus ring and nice to use (manual focus not available with the machine off), the distance window for hyperfocal is missing, very effective stabilization, excellent optical quality with d500, on d810 decidedly lower, Probably the lens does not solve the 36 Mega Px sensor sufficiently. For me I vote 9.

Pros: Sharpness, lightness, stabilization

Cons: nobody

Opinion: Bought used (450€) on Amazon with a 1-year warranty, it immediately gave me a great feeling for the lightness and construction, despite the fact that I think it is entirely made of plastic materials. it's exactly the type of lens I was looking for a long time for the type of use I prefer, long trekking trips in the forest, I tested it initially with the D750 and I really liked both the yield and the sharpness but when I mounted it on the D7500 I was really excited because with an equivalent 105-450 lens I can have an excellent technical compromise with featherweights to keep around my neck. Also excellent to use as a "macro". I only regret not having decided to buy it before and it will probably be, in combination with the D7500 body, my most frequent choice in my forest outings.
