Review: What a great lens! - I must admit up-front that I am newly digital, so I may have my quirks and strong opinions being a very very late convert from manual SLR film cameras... I guess I always liked the medium and had real trouble letting go. The D800 I own is as good as any of my film kit though, no its better, and that was hard for me to acknowledge at first until I actually held it in my hands and shot with it. This little lens is the perfect partner for my medium format FX digital camera, so if you buy one lens let this one be it... Why? Because it offers unmatched versatility in focal length and portability without compromising as much as you might expect in the results, while saving you loads of money on building a collection of lenses that in my view don't justify the cost vs benefit factor... simply put you broadly covered with this lens, and its stunning quality: - Its surprisingly small and compact, it weighs only about 1kg and is solid and well built... ideal for event photography, or outdoors. - Excellent at low light, it really performs beyond my expectations, although the full frame format does help here. - Sharp throughout, and fast, excellent autofocus - 28-300, that's amazing versatility! Unmatched maybe, when you consider how short and compact a lens it is... This means it is the perfect lens for landscape and wedding photography, and also performs exceptionally at both ends of the range so I can't really fault it! - Some minor criticism I have read were unfounded in my view... Thinking theoretically about low light, speed and bokeh I also went and bought the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G prime lens believing I wouldn't have this area covered properly... That 50mm prime is also a superb lens, its supposed to be unmatched in low light, however after using both these lenses in anger I am hard pressed for a real reason to switch lenses when shooting to my 50mm lens because the quality and speed of this lens is generally close enough to that one... On that note someone else also mentioned it doesn't achieve the desired bokeh, but I find the results actually very pleasing and comparable to using my 50mm prime when at full aperture in aperture priority mode, and you have the added benefit of a faster autofocus and VR... trust me its pretty good, so unless you the fussy type and nit pick about fractions and theoretical margins, you won't be disappointed. - Everyone has a preferred style of working, one thing I love about a lens like this is having the benefit of being able to adjust my focal length incrementally as I please, its not everyone's deal I know, but my experience with portraits is that especially between adults and children I do sometimes like some variation in focal length to get the most pleasing result I love this lens, what a bargain in my view!
Review: Great lens, worth every penny! - I have two Nikon D7000 cameras, a Nikon 35mm F1.8 prime, a Nikon 50mm F1.8 prime and also the Nikon 18-200mm VR lens. After careful consideration, reading the reviews and looking at the images taken by others, I decided to buy the Nikon 28-300mm because I hope to upgrade at some point to a full frame camera like the Nikon D4 and this lens can be use on both full frame and DX models. The D7000 is a DX camera so with the crop factor the Nikon 28-300mm becomes efectively a zoom of 42-450mm (with reference to the 35mm film format). I have read some negative reviews regarding this lens with comments like, It's too big and heavy, lens creepage when tilted downwards, lens distortion at both ends of the zoom range and that the focus is soft. Ok let's take a look at these points of criticism:- Yes, if you are only use to the standard kit lens like the 18-55mm, then this lens will seem big and heavy to you, but remember this is a super zoom lens and it has a lot of glass in it to do what it does and although it is has a weight to it, I found it not to be so heavy as to be uncomfortable to use and on the D7000 I find the balance to be good overall. Another point to consider that you don't have to carry a load of other lenses with you to cover the range of zoom that this lens covers, so as a walk about lens this lens is great. What about lens creep? I have never experienced it myself on either the 28-300mm, or the 18-200mm, in any case Nikon now includes a zoom lock on the lens, so there should not be a problem when the lens pointing downwards in one's camera bag. What about lens distortion? If you have a Nikon D7000, there is an option in the camera's menu settings, switch the `Auto Distortion Control' to `ON' and the distortion is virtually eliminated. If your camera does not have this option you will see some barrel distortion and maximum zoom and pincushion distortion at the wide-angle setting, depending on the subject you are photographing. If it is objectionable one can always correct it in your photo editing software. Remember no zoom is perfect, top professional lenses are better and have less distortion, but they cost a whole lot more and their zoom range is far more limited. What about lens sharpness? The colour rendition and contrast of the 28-300mm (and 18-200mm) I find to be as good as my prime lenses, the prime lenses are a little sharper when stopped down, but the difference isn't that great in reality and if the image is found to be a little soft one can easily correct this with your photo editing software. People may comment that their prime lens is a lot sharper, but then their prime lens cannot zoom from 28-300mm can it now? A top professional lens will perform better if you can afford it, but their zoom range is a lot more limited and you will need two or more lenses to cover the zoom range that this lens covers. Overall, I find the lens sharpness to be good throughout the zoom range, both on the 28-300mm and the 18-200mm and when you consider the range of this zoom, I think Nikon have done a really good job and that why I give five stars in this review. One really big advantage with this super zoom is that one can go from wide to full zoom instantly and so never miss a shot. Another advantage is that you don't have to carry a bag full of lenses with you and because one is not changing lenses all the time, there is less risk of dust getting into your camera to contaminate you camera's sensor. What about Bokeh, those nice blurred backgrounds? Bokeh is limited due to the relatively small maximum aperture of this lens, if Bokeh is of critical importance, one could purchase a prime lens with a maximum aperture of F1.8 or better, or a zoom with a maximum aperture of F2.8, however such zooms tend to be very expensive. Which zoom should I get for my DX camera, the 28-300mm, or the 18-200mm? If one is not planning to go to the full frame format, I would recommend the Nikon 18-200mm, if you do decide to go for the Nikon 28-300mm for use on a DX camera, one will also need a wide angle lens in addition to the 28-300mm. If you already own a the standard kit lens such as the Nikon 18-55mm, this will help cover the wide angle side of things. If one is going to upgrade to the full frame format, then I would recommend the 28-300mm. Whatever lens you go for, make sure that you put a good quality lens protector such as the Hoya Pro 1 Digital MC Protector. This is a low profile, multi-coated filter which will protect your expensive glass. I have come across people who have used a cheap filter, which is not even multi-coated and they wonder why they get poor results. Is the Nikon 28-300mm (and the Nikon 18-200mm) worth the money? Every penny in my view, especially if you can acquire it at a good price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this perform with the nikon D750?**
A: I use it on a D750 and i'm  not joking its my sharpest lens.    Its replaced my tamron 24-70 for walk about.    Sharper than some of my primes.     F8 seems to be its sharpest    sharper than my 50mm @f8.      Its my goto lens unless I need a faster apature.     Really good throughout  the focal length.     Gets "the shot" more overall unless I need something specific like really low light or ultra shallow DOF

**Q: is this compatible with a d810, and has anyoe used this combo,,mark in yorkshire**
A: All Nikon f mount lenses fit on all Nikon dslrs. This lens does fit on the d810, but does not bring out the best of 36mp sensor; however, it is possible to get good results, but nowhere near as good as the 70-200 f2.8. I got it for a d700, with which it works very well. As a basic alrounder it's not bad, but it won't get highest definition the d810 is capable of. You pays your money and takes your choice.

**Q: Is this fully compatible with D3300 and if I later upgrade to a full-frame Nikon is it compatible with most of those please?**
A: The AF-S NIKON 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR is a great lens for travel, landscapes, and portraits. While the D3300 is a crop frame, (DX) camera the lens is also suitable for full frame, (FX) cameras and will therefore work with your future camera upgrades.

**Q: Will this work with the Nikon D850?**
A: YES this lens is a FX formatt and an ideal compact lens the D850 uses the same as the D800 as I have 28mm to 300mm hope this is helpful John

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Never miss a shot again
*by D***Y on 30 May 2011*

I needed a versatile lens for a photoshoot at the Hay Literary Festival. The 28-300mm did not let me down and I used it all day, never missing a single shot. No fumbling around changing lenses, it covered the lot. The images are sharp, the autofocus fast and near silent, the zooming smooth. Lens elements move internally so nothing rotates on the outside. The filter size is 77mm; buy filters on Amazon and you'll pay half of what the big photo dealers charge. Yes, there are picky reviews out there that get bogged down in barrel/pincushion distortion and chromatic aberration issues but these effects are hardly noticeable. A lens with this zoom range is never going to be perfect, but it's close enough and it's better than missing the chance to get a picture. I agree with the other reviewer that it is a heavy and solidly constructed beast. It's an FX lens, designed to work on the bigger full-frame pro Nikon bodies as well as the smaller DX bodies. In fact, as an FX lens it is better suited to the Nikon D7000 that has a sensor that is said to challenge the resolving power of DX lenses (a lot of pixels on a small sensor). The Amazon image shows the lens unextended, at the 28mm end of its range; it lengthens quite a bit at 300mm and droops if carried vertically, which is why there is a 28mm lock button on the side to keep it short in transit. Do I have a criticism? Yes, the plastic lens hood (not shown in the image) is a bit flexible, springy and can work free. I've withheld one star for this but half a star would be sufficient. Anyway I expect to lose it before long when it drops off. Otherwise, this is a really useful lens.
