  • A Great Lens for Traveling
I got this lens for traveling because of its weight, telephoto zoom range, and its price. I was using a Nikon Z9 and traveling in Mexico and got some great daytime pictures of Birds in Flight diving in the shallows for fish. I also used it indoors in Japan for a Sumu Wrestling competition. I got some exceptional pictures using ambient light from about 30 yards away. It also worked extremely well for daylight landscape pictures. I highly recommend . It's extremely versatile and well built, ... show more

  • Great lens for landscape
This is a great lens for taking landscape photos and perhaps even for zooming in on a “surprise” bird or animal on the side of the road. I usually use long lenses on my birding trips but sometimes you end up being just a little too close. I’ve set down my long lens several times throughout the years in order to grab my 28-300 SLR lens for a Trumpeter Swan, Sandhill Crane or deer near the road and this Nikon Mirrorless lens will be used the same way. One extra plus is that it is much smaller and lighter than the SLR lens so easier to pick up faster. So far I’ve only used it for landscape but migration season has only recently started. ... show more

  • Exceptional value
I bought this lens wanting something I could use when traveling as I am tired of dragging a bag load of camera equipment through airport security. There are three things about this lens that make it worthy of your consideration: first, the construction quality is very good and the lens fully extended has no movement that I can detect. Secondly, the sharpness of this lens across its range is very good optically, and combined with a nice VR, pretty well assures that I can get printable photos. I purchased this intending to simplify my travel process; however, this lens has proven to be an exceptional buy in terms of image quality and value. ... show more

  • Awesome lens
After two decades of old digital cameras, I finally upgraded to a Nikon Z50 II with the kit lenses (which were a good deal that would have been twice as expensive if bought separately). But for hiking and taking everything from scenes to birds, wildlife, and near macro shots of flowers, I subsequently decided that I didn't want to either have to carry both kit lenses or frequently switch which lens was on the body. So, I took a plunge and purchased this lens (once it dropped below $1000). It is relatively LIGHT WEIGHT, has incredible range from "normal" (because of my body's 1.5X crop factor) to sizeable telephoto, will focus surprisingly close (providing ca. 1:3 I think), and its onboard VR is so good that I can hand hold it at full telephoto extension at rather low shutter speeds. Although I have heard that it may not be as sharp or "flat" (i.e., no pincushioning or barrel distortion) as a set of prime lenses, I haven't found that obvious or objectionable. Of course, at maximum telephoto, it doesn't have much depth of field unless stopped down further than its max of f/8, and then one must crank up the ISO. When rapidly changing focal length, the autofocus can sometimes "get confused" (and I haven't tried it yet on flying birds), but once locked on to a focusing point it does a good job of staying there through moderate changes in focal length. I am happy that I bought this lens, and it is the lens that I will usually keep mounted on the body. ... show more

  • Great lens and versatile
Bough over a month and so far so good. It's convenient and easy for going around. I don't have to change lenses. The images are sharp.

Nice lens but cannot be used with a telescope extender !

  • Great for birding, but heavy.
Loving this lens for bird photography! There is some chromic aberration at the longest reach but easily fixed in post processing. This lens is HEAVY!
