Lens a bit larger than expected but high quality components and photos
Nikkor lenses are pricey but definitely worth it !! This lens is a bit large and heavy but well worth carrying around, especially in nature or a city where you need a wide angle and a zoom. I find it more of a pain to carry a bag and having to change lenses. The lens is high quality and pictures come out great. Some people complain of edge blur at 300 zoom, but it's negligible unless you really blow up the photo. This can be expected with any zoom, but less so with this quality lens. If you need 300 plus zoom and absolutely no edge blur (ex: sports, wildlife, etc), then get a fixed length telephoto lens (the price just went way up !!). This lens will do in most circumstances though. It's a great all-around carry lens for a serious photographer. I also recommend getting a special wide angle uv filter that will not shadow the edges. Tiffen makes a good one for under $20.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Monster zoom lens from Nikon!
Any way you look at it, a lens with an 18 to 300mm zoom ratio is awesome. The fact that it's the better of the two DX-series lenses made by Nikon is all the better! Yes, it's a bit heavy, but not so much that you can't use it for a "walking around" lens. Sharp optics and durable construction--just what you'd expect from the folks at Nikon. I had this product on my wish list for some time, long enough that Nikon has dropped it from their catalog. I was lucky to find a dealer on eBay that still had a brand-new one in stock, and I purchased it for myself for Christmas. I'm very happy with this monster zoom!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A very versatile lens
I cover local youth soccer leagues and was looking for a versatile length for my secondary body to have a lens that I could use for the closer subjects and the spectators shots. This lens on a crop sensor body was exactly what I needed to complement the 150-600!on the main camera. It is not a super-expensive lens or very fast, but it does its job perfectly. I have not noticed any distortion at the focal lengths unused it at, it is light and maneuverable, the VR stabilization allows for a couple of stops of shutter speed, which can offset the somehow narrow minimum aperture at max length. Overall a great value for what I needed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

My wife loves the single lens vs. 2 lens' to get the range
Nikkor are good lens, I wish the very end of the optical zoom marks were more separated to be able to more easily fine tune the focal point...as it is, the amount of rotation on the lens that is needed to get from 100x to 200x is about 1/2 rotation of the lens. However, from 200x - 300x the rotation drops to merely 1/5 of a rotation...making it impossible to get the exact focal point you desire, close of course especially if you turn it super slow...just poorly thought out. Otherwise, this lens is great, VR is awesome and the F stops are great. Too bad it's not a larger sensor for the darks.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The Only Lens You Need for Most Purposes
I bought this lens to replace two other lenses - an 18-55 mm zoom and a 70-300 zoom. Both produced good images, but there was a lot of lens swapping and that annoying 15 mm gap in a critical focal length range. This lens makes it possible to keep one lens on my camera most of the time and so far, I do not have any complaints about the image quality. The only slight drawback is that the lens is heavy compared to the lenses it is replacing, but it's not something that I find objectionable. I foresee only limited instances where I would need to have additional lenses. I will probably add a macro lens and perhaps a fast normal lens for use in low light situations, but for 95% of what I do, this lens will be just right.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Stunning General Purpose Lens
I purchased this lens as a replacement for the original 18 to 200mm f3.5-5.6 ED VR II I purchased with my Nikon D7000. I loved that lens and took many memorable pictures with it. I finally decded that I wanted a little more distance and started looking at Nikon's 2 options for a 18-300mm lens. After much deliberation and hand wringing, I finally decided on this slightly faster and beefier f/3.5-5.6G model. It arrived today and I am impressed!. I was initially concerned that it was advertised as an 'import' lens, but when comparing it to my 18-200mm USA lens, they are in exactly the same packaging and come from the same factory in Thailand. For the $130+ savings off the USA version, for me, it's a no brainer. I would purchase again without hesitation. This thing is gorgeous, built like a tank, reaches way out to take the clearest, most beautiful pictures in my portfolio. I'm seeing sharp, individual hairs on the heads of the Gray Squirrels at our feeders at over 100'. I can't wait to actually spend time with the lens to learn it's little tricks to really make it shine. If this lens is on your wish list, do a month of arm curls and pull the trigger. You won't be disappointed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Pro lens at a fair price.
once you get this lens you will feel the difference from the standard lenses that typically come with a lower grade camera kit. the zoom is smooth and focus is quick. I under stand its not the best lens made by Nikon but for me its the one I can afford. also note it will add weight and bulk to your camera bag.

Exactly as expected.
What can I say? This is a Nikon lens that appears to meet the specs in the first 300 photos taken. The lens has great optics and range, and is a great value even at original retail prices. I am very pleased.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great versatile lens, from wide angle to zoom.
I have the identical lens purchased some years ago, which is my main all around lens. It's had a lot of use and still working fine but zoom is getting a little sticky. This lens is to be eventual replacement if required some day.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
