Para quem estiver buscando uma lente zoom telefoto de alta qualidade para fotografia de ação e retratos a um preço acessível, a Lente Nikon AF Zoom Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G é uma excelente solução.
Essa lente zoom telefoto muito compacta é totalmente compatível com a Nikon N65 bem como SLR Digital série D Profissional da Nikon, F5 35mm Profissional, F100, N80, N75 e câmeras Pronea Advanced Photo System. Compacta e leve, com uma sensação confortável e bem balanceada, a lente zoom 4.3x é ideal para retratos e fotografia de viagem e esportes.
Um elemento de design importante considerando que os modelos SLR Nikon mais recentes possuem controle de abertura integrado (via Dial de Comando) e não exigem que lente tenha um anel de controle de abertura. Com isso em mente, as lentes G omitem o anel de abertura, resultando em lente mais leve e mais compacta.
NOTA: Lente Nikkor tipo G são totalmente compatíveis com as séries F5, F100, N80, N65, N60, N50, N4004, PRONEA 6i, PRONEA S, D100 e série D (ou qualquer modelo mais novo, exceto D40/D40X e D60). Não é compatível com outras câmeras da Nikon. Para as câmeras da série F4, N90, N70, N8008 e N6006, pode ser usado apenas o modo automático programado ou o modo de exposição automática com prioridade de obturador.

This will be a VERY unusual kind of review...unusual for me, anyway!I call this lens, with both affection and some precision, "The Thing". To put that in some kind of context, I refer you to the following "memorable quote" from indy movie producer Quentin Tarantino's 2007 film "Death Proof", specifically the scene where the three hot girls, Arlene, Shanna, and Radio DJ "Jungle Julia", are discussing Arlenes recent date:Jungle Julia: Okay, we're pretty clear on what it is you didn't do. How bout' enlightening us on what it is you did do?Arlene: Nothing to write home about. We just made out on the couch for about twenty minutes.Shanna: Dressed, half dressed, or naked?Arlene: Dressed! I said we made out. We didn't do "the thing".Jungle Julia: Excuse me for living, but what is "the thing"?Arlene: You know, it's everything but.Shanna: They call that "the thing"?Arlene: I call it "the thing".Shanna: Do guys like "the thing"?Arlene: They like it better than no thing.Witty dialog, you say, but what relevance to a Nikon Zoom lens?Ok...it's an FX (full frame) 70-300mm F4/5.6 Nikon Autofocus zoom lens from the '35mm film camera' days and therefore will only autofocus on Nikon DSLRs that have their own built in auto-focus drive motor. Although it is of fairly sophisticated and complex design, none of its THIRTEEN multi-coated elements are ED glass, and therefore no 'shiny gold on black' badge anywhere in evidence; just flat, matte' light gray print, instead. In fact, it is one of the least flashy products ever to wear the Nikon name! And while it has a focus distance scale, it has NO focus point mark or DOF scales; it's symmetry is not even broken by an auto/manual focus switch on the side! When the variator (zoom control) is turned, the front element does not rotate...however, when the lens is focused, the front element DOES turn!Color and clarity are frankly amazing and it's quite sharp throughout its range; surprisingly so for it's [$] price. In fact, it's almost as sharp as the present day AF-S 70-300 VR. ALMOST, but not quite, and then only on a DX body, but it's bokeh is actually better! And unlike the $600 AF-S 70-300mm VR, it doesn't rattle when you shake it!It has no VR mechanism and as I mentioned, no internal focus motor, but then, it's pretty light weight and quite well balanced on a D90 body, so it is very easy to hand-hold at lower shutter speeds. It may not get many covetous stares from other shooters...but it probably won't attract any of the 'wrong kind of attention', either. To be perfectly honest, with its lens shade attached, it doesn't look at all out-of-place on a D80, D90, or a D7000, but it just might on a D3.In the right hands, this lens will produce simply stunning images; sharp and clear with very good color and contrast...but you have to know what you're doing. I dare say that the 'point and shoot' crowd would be very disappointed, but 'Gray Barrel Nikkor Lens' aficionados will probably be more than a little bit irritated to learn this lens costs only [$]! I call this lens "The Thing"...because I like it better than no thing...about A MILLION TIMES better than no thing!The Thing...get it now?Did I mention it's also half a 'stop' FASTER at the wide end of the zoom than the $600 VR lens!! Yep, that's right...F4 at 70mm! HA!

This is an excellent paperweight and I would definitely recommend it to my enemies...
Jokes aside, this is a good lens for the money. I have used mine for photographing wildlife, birds, including birds in flight, surfers in action, the moon, flowers, street life, and even portraits with quite acceptable, at times good, results. I just don't think many of the shots I have made with this lens are great, and the blame for that does not always lie with the photographer.
I have found both soft focus and chromatic aberration to be fairly constant problems with this lens. Shots just are not as sharp as I want them to be, and at times I can see the magenta/cyan edges of particularly backlit subjects without even enlarging the image.
It performs acceptably in bright light, but as light drops off, so does image quality and it can take it a very long time to focus.
Since sharpness is very important to me and I find I use the 300mm a lot, I will probably get a 300mm prime instead.
However, for those who do not require great sharpness, or are on a very tight budget this is an excellent lens for the money. It is relatively lightweight, the zoom range is convenient, and in bright light the image quality is most often quite good.
I might not recommend this lens to a friend without a warning about its limitations, but it is a good value for the money.

All and all it did ok, but unless you are using a trypod and are over 200MM on a DX body wiht out VR it is very hard to get a clear shot. The VR lens is way better. I sent this lens back to B&H and got the VR one and all I can say is WOW.

Worked great for outdoor shooting with tripod. Not recommended for poor lightning or situations where the shooter is in motion or unstable position.
It is an excelent option for landscapes, wild life, flowers, animals, portraits in light,the details and resilution are incredible when using a triopod.

Comments about Nikon AF Zoom Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G Lens (Black):
I've rated this item 5 stars. Here's why:
- Of course I want a 70-200 f2.8. This is not that lens. However, it gets the job done.
- I am not a professional, but I've taken great shot with this lens. As long as you understand the limitations of the lens, i.e. f4-5.6 and slow AF and no VR, you will be happy.
- The price basically makes this a must-have. On my recent vacation, I shot 90% of the time with my 50 1.8D (another 5 star lens). 5% of the time with my 17-70, and 5% of the time with this lens. Considering that a fast 50 or a 35 gets the job done for my shots (street photography, candid shots indoor, portraits) I only needed this lens when I had the luxury of walking around and taking my time for day-time landscape/scenery. And I got great shots. I can't justify spending more on a lens I will not shoot with very often. A 70-200 f2.8 is on my list, but very far off... much after I get a 24 f1.4, and an 85 f1.4, and the 136 f2 DC. Then I'll consider an upgraded tele.
Unless you have a specific use case that exceeds this lens' limitations, this is a great value.

I use this lense to shoot my daughter's high school soccer team. It doesn't have VR or any other bells and whistles, but for the money it cannot be beat. Focus is a little slow in low light, but takes great shots in daylight.

Comments about Nikon AF Zoom Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G Lens (Black):
I'm on the fence about giving it 3 stars. Are we categorizing these things? If so, 5 stars all the way. Pitting it against a 70-200 2.8? No way.
I needed a lens with a decent range on it for a casual thing I shot one weekend, and didn't want to take a chance with an expensive lens (and I usually stick with primes), so I saw this, figured it couldn't be bad for what I was going to be using it for.
I was super happy with the results. Shot with a D7000, and it had no issue focusing it. Zoom ring isn't the smoothest in the world, but that's fine with me. I'm not doing any smooth video zooms.
I only shot on small jpeg, but image quality looked pretty sharp.
However, when I shot on full 14-bit RAW a few days after, you can definitely notice a little softness on it, and some pretty wonky chromatic stuff going on.
But, really, if you can stand having a variable aperture across the range and don't need anything crazy fast, for the money, you can't beat this.

Comments about Nikon AF Zoom Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G Lens (Black):
Being a first time Nikon user I needed a lens when I purchased the D7000 body. Being a film shooter with a collection of Minolta Rokkor prime lenses, I didn't know what to expect from a zoom lens. While this Nikkor 70mm-300mm Zoom lens is not equipped with Vibration Reduction, I find it to be a great lens for tripod mounted shooting. Trying to shoot freehand with it really magnifies the "shake" when it's set at the higher magnifications. At the lower magnification this lens is wonderful without any of the distortions caused by "shake." The autofocus is a wonderful feature of this lens, considering all of my older Minolta lenses are manual focus.
I will be adding the Nikon 70mm-300mm with VR for more handheld shooting, as well as, other Nikon lenses to my collection of glass.

Preaty good lens for this price ... the wight works in your disadvantage in this case ... witout VR in low light conditions betwin 200 and 300mm you need a tripod ... `if you want sharp pictures .. try to set the aperture at minimul F/8 ... in conclusion if you are on a buget .. this is the perfect lens!

I know people will complain about this and that about any lens. All I can tell you that this lens is excellent for anyone who is not looking to photograph a needle three miles away :)
Well, you know what I mean.
Great 'walk-around' lens during your shoot in the nature walk to get close to those critters. The best lens would be from 19-300 mm but, hey... who can afford that kind of lens.
If you're a novice and not a pro, buy this lens and you'll like it. Am a pro, but I don't care about razor sharp corners, look at my SUBJECT in the center is my motto here :)

This lens is perfect for someone who is not a professional photographer. It's a great learning tool. It does not have all the bells and whistles that will make the price skyrocket, but it takes great photos. You will need a tripod because the lens does not have vibration reduction. This lens WILL autofocus as long as your camera body has it's own autofocus motor. I was very happy to find a lens that will get me up close to the action at sporting events, that was at a very reasonable price.
