Great zoom lens for sports photography
I have used this lens for nearly 10 years for many purposes and find that it is just terrific for sports events due to its sharpness even at the maximum zoom setting.

Awesome!
I can get 300mm pics with no Blurr with the VR. Pin point accuracy on the Focus! No complaints! I love the lens! ALSO! takes pretty nice macro shots fully extended.

Excellent performance despite the cheap price.
First of all it does not have VR and won't auto focus on D3100. For that there is AF-S 55-300 VR at almost 3 times the price of this one (online). This is also one of he two cheapest priced lens in the entire Nikon catalog. So I was hesitant if it is worth buying. It is worth if you are looking for a decent telephoto zoom, won't mind manual focusing, and usually taking pictures during the day. Picture quality is sharp (better than I expected), way better than your 10x point & shoot or SLR looking super zoom. Almost like your kit zoom. It is light so not much of a problem to carry. If you want to shoot in the low light you need 300 f/2.8. Just look at that size and price and if you earn money from photography then you don't need this one. But even then considering the size and price you can keep this one as spare when you are on vacation. I liked this one more than I expected.

Smooth motion quick focus
This lens is one of the smoothest transition lenses I have used. The auto focus function is quick and quiet. The VR at maximum zoom allows for hand holding with no distortion or bluring. Manual focus function is also very smooth and easy to use.

Great Lens-Great Price-Great Results
I Have enjoyed the good optics, versility, and VR, of this mid range lens. It is recommended for various types of shooting in good lighting or on tripod.Nice addition to your lense arsenal.

Answer:
The motor in the camera focuses the lens will not autofocus with D3000,3100,3200,5000 or 5100.
I know the Auto Focus probably won't work but what about Manual Mode?

It will work in manual mode but realize with no VR you will have problems on the long end trying to shoot hand held. AF-S-DX-NIKKOR-55-300mm-f/4.5-5.6G-ED-VR. I realize it is more money but you will find it much easier to work with.1 week, 1 day ago

Yes, but it may not give the results you want as the high resolution of the D800 will show every imperfection of a slow lens like this.Has staff answer

I have got a Nikon D90. So should i opt for this 70-300 mm lens without VR or should i go in for the one with the VR considering the fact that D90 comes with a built in Motor. Which of these lens would get me a crystal clear image.
Also is there any other lens that i could look out for.
Thanks :)

Answer:
I would opt for the VR version, optically it is a better lens. You can also shoot up to 4 stops slower than non VR when shooting hand held. It is well worth the price difference.Has staff answer

Can I mount a Macro Conversion Lens for Nikkor 70-300mm?
I'm Planning to but a Telephoto Lens with a Macro Capability.
I know the products that have these features. Tamron and Sigma AF 70-300mm.
I am willing to sacrifice the VR features and I was wondering if it is possible to put a Macro conversion lens to a non-VR Nikkor AF 70-300mm.

We do not have any products specifically designed for that purpose, and we do not support any type of modification or upgrade for that product , sorry. We would instead recommend considering a lens designed for macro work:http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Produ...
