Review: Can perform very well with the right techniques - This is a surprisingly good lens not only for the price the optics are good, well on lens I have. I have several lenses some are vintage legacy lenses i.e. Zeiss, Schneider and modern lenses. I have experience with the use of fine optics this lens really cannot compare directly with such but it does hold its own. If you require the need for fast focus and or low light, this lens is not for you. If you take your time with reasonable light a little like the old days of Film and a steady hand with the correct techniques you will get a result that is good in some cases very good.
Review: Good Lens for a great price. - Good Quality lens with a great zoom, at this price point it's outstanding. Was used with a intro level DSLR, d3100, so i was unable to test the auto focus feature. The manual focus was smooth and i was able to take great quality photos of moving subjects playing sport. I would highly recommend this lens to entry level photographers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this lens work with a Nikon D5300 camera?**
A: This lens and all of its functions works on both FX and DX Nikon digital SLR cameras (D5300 is not an exeption). According to the manual if mounted on a DX format digital SLR camera the 35mm equivalent focal length range is approx. 105-450mm.

**Q: Will this work well on a Nikon D70 body - and is any one using it for sport - for example football at  local level Sunday afternoon matches**
A: I use it on a D90 and am very pleased with the performance of the lens. I haven't tried it for sport. The lens is fairly heavy, so you may need a monopod. I have tried the lens with birds in flight and it can track the bird easily in the 'C' continuous focusing camera mode.

**Q: compatible with 3200 ?**
A: It will work with the d3200 but won't autofocus.

**Q: is this an FX format lens?**
A: this IS primarily meant for FX,   and can be used on the smaller DX bodies

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap construction, but amazing value for money
*by M***L on 2 July 2008*

First the bad points: the construction of this lens is lightweight plastic, it feels cheap, it drops down to f5 or below fairly rapidly as you zoom in, and being a Nikon "G" series lens it has no aperture ring so you can't use it on a trusty old manual camera. But for £75 what do you expect? Then the good. Other reviewers say that it is not sharp, or is "soft", but looking at the shots I have just taken on my 10 MegaPixel D200, at between 70mm and 200mm focal lengths, blown up to 100% magnification on the screen I have absolutely no complaints, as it is pin sharp to my eyes; and the images are good and contrasty too. On a moderately bright over-cast day I set the camera to ISO 200 and let it worry about exposure, which resulted in shutter speeds between 1/150th and 1/320th and apertures from about f6 to f9 as the clouds came and went. Hand-held results were very slightly blurred at the longer focal length/slower speed end of the range, but otherwise the fact that its maximum aperture is f4-5.6 proved not to be a problem at all. Other reviewers have criticised its auto-focus speed. Yes, if it is currently set at 5 feet and you point it at something 300 feet away then it takes a little while to get there; but if it is more or less at the right distance already it snaps into focus faster than I can blink. Also, unlike some AF lenses, the focus ring turns through quite a large arc so focusing it manually is easy. It starts to get a bit tricky to use hand-held in the 200mm to 300m range, partly because the zoom barrel extends such a long way and partly because it is so light-weight; but that is not a criticism of the lens, rather a fact of life - if you want to use a long lens you need to use a tripod, or to shell out 5x as much money for a Vibration Reduction (VR) version. Remember though that VR doesn't freeze your subject motion, only your camera-shake; if I were going to spend that much I'd save up a little longer and buy a non-VR f2.8 70-200m zoom instead. Last saturday I was standing next to someone who had a monster Nikkor 70-400mm f4.5-5.6 VR zoom on his camera, about £900 pounds worth, and he was lamenting that he struggled with its intended use for wildlife photography because it didn't give him a fast enough shutter speed. I looked down at my little plastic toy which cost 1/12th as much, yet gives nearly the same focal length and aperture range ... and, I confess, felt rather smug. In summary: not the best money can buy, but surely far and away the best value for money in its focal length range.
