Pros: Prezzo irrisorio,leggero,qualità ottiche straordinarie,VR efficiente e silenzioso!

Cons: Un po' plasticoso,alla focale massima di 200 mm perde qualcosa in termini di definizione

Opinion: Per quel costa,un prezzo davvero irrisorio,ha una resa ottica incredibile.Grande definizione,ottimo contrasto e resa dei colori praticamente perfetta.Leggerissimo e poco ingombrante quando è chiuso,mette a fuoco senza indecisioni nonostante la luminosità non elevata in condizioni di luce e contrasto bassi.Non ha grandi aberrazioni e diffrazioni.Resa del dettaglio sui moderni sensori APS Nikon follemente buona per il prezzo,lo si porta facilmente ovunque e il VR è efficentissimo.C'è da chiedersi come un'ottica del genere possa essere venduta a un prezzo così basso.Focale su APS equivalente circa a 80/300mm.Consigliatissimo,appena provato non ci volevo credere,ma l'ho acquistato immediatamente. Non adatto a essere usato su corpi macchina FX.

Pros: Light, cheap and flexible

Cons: Unclear

Opinion: I bought this telephoto lens for about 100 euros used and sold it (regret me) for a few euros more because I needed a different lens. All in all, it does its duty; it's not a blade, but no matter how much it costs it's not expected to be. It's plastic, but it still feels like it can last. It's not bright, especially at 200mm, but even that was known, and the light telephotos cost a lot more. Featherweight, reduced footprint and VR are his workhorses. Recommended for those who want to start holding a telephoto phone. All in all, he does his job and it's worth giving him a chance. If you have more availability and more "challenging" machine bodies better look for more, if not I recommend it. The autofocus isn't very fast (and makes a bit of noise) but if you don't take sports photos that won't affect the end result.

Pros: price, light, compact, good yield

Cons: plastic construction, dark

Opinion: I own this lens from a few years, taken at a shredded price on the internet. Suitable for those who don't have too many pretensions, the sharpness is still good all over the focus. The autofocus works well and generally never gave me any problems (even used at night for sporting events), hooks pretty quickly and accurately but it's noisy so it's not good for video footage. The stabilizer does its duty, but I found it less effective than the tamron 70-300 The low price unfortunately implies a construction from true entry level . Completely plastic (bayonet included) and pebbled bark I would say. It is not airtight enough to prevent dust from entering. Ps. there mounts the DZHB-37 lampshade (which I think is the one mounted in the previous version) and there goes great

Pros: Small, handy, light, good value for money

Cons: Autofocus a bit noisy

Opinion: I bought this lens used at a really advantageous price for its performance. The images are sharp both at f55 and at F200. On My Lens The manual focus is a bit ' soft (I do not know if it depends on the fact that it is used) but still very precise, the autofocus is accurate not very fast but I can not even define it slow even if a little ' noisy I do not think a real defect , however the quality of the image is really good both at the court and at long distances. The aperture of the diaphragm is a bit high (4-5.6), normally photographer with sufficient light, but even with the maximum aperture you get good results. Excellent work done by the VR. In Short, value for money, even from new, really good for a focal with this excursion.

Pros: Size, weight, focal length, VR,

Cons: Sharpness, autofocus, plastic bayonet, lens hood

Opinion: I have this lens for a year and I horsemanship it on d5300. For the use that I do it all in all is not bad, having bought in discount at €150. Thanks to the release button when you put in the bag reaches a really compact size for a telephoto lens, little bigger than the kit 18-55. Another advantage is the focal length, which, for the price, associated with the kit lens covers from 18 to 200. Finally, the thing that I appreciate most is the VR, which allows you to shoot with really slow times without moving, even up to 1/30 to 200mm. Passing to the sore notes, one immediately notices the low quality of construction (all in plastic, also the bayonet) and the absence of the lens hood. By shooting at full aperture, as it is normal that you do not being a bright lens, the results are not exceptional but not even so negative. The most serious thing is the autofocus, noisy and very slow to hook the subject and during the tracking (eg shooting birds). In conclusion, I recommend this lens to all those spending little are looking for this focal length (essential to start photographing) without excessive demands.
