A Sharp, Light Telephoto Lens That's easy to carry>
This is a nice, light telephoto lens that has lightning-quick focus and produces tac-sharp images. I think it's all plastic, but who cares? It works just great!. The VR is fantastic, allowing you to produce very sharp, contrasty images with the lens wide open and at slow shutter speeds. I wish it would have added a stop or two, at least to 3.5, but if it were so, the lens would not be so affordable. As it is, on a reasonably bright day, you are going to get some shots that will look as though they were done on a pro lens. You might have to be a little more gentle putting on and removing the lens, since the mount is plastic, but the quality of the images you get and the very affordable price, make it a bargain in my book. I use it on a D7100 and I have gotten some incredible bird and wild life shots. I am very, VERY pleased with this lens! FIVE STARS.Read full review...

I do not know...it is too early, perhaps.
I bought this for a trip to Iceland. I have three Nikon bodies. D7000, D5100, and D90. Lends does not work with any of them–will not focus. So I bought a D5600. The lens focuses, but my Lightroom and Photoshop will not recognize the RAW files it produces. JPEGs are ok, but serious photography demands RAW. So then I do not know if the product is sharp or a good value and certainly not durable. However, it is Nikon and I still have my first Nikon F from 1966. No film any more, of course, but the camera still works.Read full review...

Great lens for the price
I am new to digital photography but have researched it pretty intensely before taking the leap. This lens was one that caught my eye since it was rated well online, was not too pricey and had the range I was looking for. Having used it now for a few weeks I can say that the autofocus is extremely quick and very quiet. The images are very sharp as well. There is no button on the lens to switch from manual to autofocus but that does not seem to be so much of an issue since after autofocusing one can simply turn the ring on the end of the lens to manual focus (I think this is what is called manual override). No button for the VR on/off either, that is done through the camera's menu. So overall, I think this is a great lens at a very reasonable price.Read full review...

Best DX telephoto lens
It's sharp, fast focusing and cheap. Great for sports. Mostly plastic, so it's not going to take a lot of beating around. But make sure your camera is compatible before buying. Only the latest bodies like the D3400 and D7500 allow you to turn off the VR. On other bodies, like the D7200, you have to update the firmware or the lens loses focus when the meter powers off. This lens won't work at all on older models. But if you've got a compatible body, there's no better choice for the money.Read full review...

Very nice lens for the price
Detail and clarity are very good, even at maximum zoom. I like that the manual focus ring works without having to push any other button at the same time, or go into the menu. I wish the kit lens would do that! Also, the autofocus takes only an instant; there is no hunting back and forth, and no sound that I can hear. Kudos to Nikon for achieving all this in an entry-level lens.Read full review...

Exceeds Expectations
I already had the AF-S 70-300mm G VR ED for my full frame Nikon. I wanted to get the AF-P DX model to lighten the load with my AP-C Nikon. I hoped for an equivalent product, but the AF-P version focuses almost scary fast and silent and the images are very sharp on my D7500. It is better than I expected.Read full review...

Fine lens/good price
Using lens with DX camera. I'm very impressed with the full zoom images with VR on. Weight is acceptable and the manual focus override is also useful on occasion.
Very happy with the lens.

Great Kit Lens for Nikon DLSR Cameras
Telephoto zoom lens can be very expensive yet are critical for certain types of shots and conditions. I enjoy this lens and found it to be very sharp yet lightweight and easy to carry around. I owned this lens already but due to a mishap of dropping my gear into a river had to repurchase. :)
This lens is a great value when you consider the excellent deals you can find. Highly recommended and this kit lens would be part of your most popular lenses for sure...Read full review...

Nice lens, but only for newer Nikon bodies.
As far as I can tell, this is an excellent lens, but I returned mine because I failed to notice it is an AF-P, not an AF-S or AF-D lens. In other words, this will not work on a Nikon D5100, like mine, since it is only compatible with newer Nikon bodies. Be sure to check the Nikon site for the compatibility possibility for your body. In my case, I exchanged it for an AFS 55-300 and love it.Read full review...

Ridiculously fast autofocus, crisp and clear too
Until I used this lens myself, I couldn't fully appreciate reviews that said this lens was super fast and almost silent. Now I get it! Press the shutter down halfway and you're in focus - no noise and it's instantaneous. Not sure how you improve on this AF system. I get more usable shots with this than my old 55-200mm lens - and it's not even close. I liked that lens, but it's clearly getting relegated.Read full review...
