The Nikon AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6G Zoom Lens Quality Results and a Bargain Price

Date of Review:  Oct 6, 2002
The Bottom Line: The Nikon AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6G Zoom Lens is lightweight, cheap, and will provide budget conscious photographers with exceptional resolution at a bargain price
Review: The Nikon AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6G Zoom Lens is a compact and lightweight telephoto zoom featuring excellent resolution, dependable performance, a nine blade iris diaphragm (for enhanced Bokeh and improved contrast), and "D" type precision distance...

Bargain price, bargain results

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: Recommended for light, occasional use if you buy it as a discounted price.
Review: I purchased this lens, the Nikkor 70-300G (not D), thinking it would be a reasonable addition to my arsenal, for pictures requiring a longer lens. I used it for about 4 months. When I received it, I was more than a little disappointed at the...

Nikon 70-300mm "G"lens is a very good value .

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you want a serviceable lens at a very good price and arn't caught up in the quality of your equipment rather than the quality of your photos, get it.
Review: Being a long time 35mm photographer I was thrilled when I got my first Nikon,a few years ago. I got a N80 and an off brand 28-200 lens, to save money. What a mistake! The lens gave me nothing but trouble. The focus went soft after 6 months of casual...

Beginner lens at a great price

Date of Review:  Nov 28, 2004
The Bottom Line: Great beginning lens for those who don't have loads of money and want a 300mm zoom-lens. If you can stand the wait, save your pennies and get a higher-end lens.
Review: I bought this lens because I was looking for a decent lens for my Nikon D70 that zoomed to 300mm, but I didn't want to spend a fortune (easy to do). I checked out the ED version of this lens and was somewhat underwhelmed at the image difference when...

Telephoto great

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: Just be mindful of it s compatibility, make sure it will work with your model of camera.
Review: Great lens, great price! Apertures range from f4 to f45. It does have some trouble with automatic focusing at a distance in low light but this is to be expected. I simply switch to manual control and the pictures are right on. Low price doesn?t mean...

Should you buy the 70-300mm Nikon?

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2000
Review: This is not a bad lens, if you are on a budget. I have compared this lens and the 75-300, and like the older 75-300 better. Both of these lenses are not the best lenses in the world, first of all, but they will get by if you are an amateur or...

An excellent accessories for the D70 (and D50).

Date of Review:  Nov 4, 2005
Review: The AF 70-300 isn't quite the equal of Nikon's ED 80-300 zoom, but its resolution and contrast is more than adequate for for the current series of Prosumer digital cameras from Nikon, and that's squarely the market they've aimed it at. Together with...

Good low-cost lens for beginners

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2004
Review: I bought this lens used as I needed a long zoom lens for portrait (I'm sparing money to buy the sigma 70-200 EX HSM...)

It's not very crisp (I find it even soft above 200mm), colors and contrast are not the best but remember it's a 100$...

Quality at a low price.

Date of Review:  May 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: Quality at a great price.
Review: I bought this lens as part of a kit with a 28-80mm and The F80( N80 ). This gave me a full 28-300mm range in two lenses.
The separate price would have been #150 (US$212) I got it for about #100.
The build quality is excellent in comparison...
