What do you think of the nikon 70-300mm vr lens?

I have the 70-300 Nikon G lens. It is not too sharp. I don't want to end up with similar results but spending a lot more money.

Any thoughts from those who own this lens? Asked by mrkoty 54 months ago Similar questions: nikon 70 300mm vr lens Arts > Photography.

I have one The VR 70-300mm lens is producing superb sharp images for me and I'm thinkig it was a bargain. It is a real improvement over the non-VR and is also an improvement over Nikon's early VR telephotos. It's a keeper for me.

Jump to:Press Release Specifications Press Release (Nikon UK):Nikon is pleased to announce the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-EDNikon UK is pleased to announce the introduction of the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED, a high-performance telephoto zoom lens incorporating Nikon’s most advanced features. The lens features Nikon’s Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass, Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and enhanced Vibration Reduction (VRII) to ensure the best images. Optics have also been perfected for use with both Nikon DX format digital and 35mm film SLR cameras.

The Zoom-Nikkor lens offers 70-300mm (4.3x) zoom performance, and is suitable for various telephoto shooting opportunities, particularly in sports, nature and wildlife photography. When used with a Nikon DX format digital SLR, the picture angle is equivalent to what would be experienced with a 105-450mm lens on a 35mm. SLR Advanced Nikon engineering has given rise to a compact lightweight lens design that offers outstanding optical performance and excellent handling characteristics.

The new Nikon Vibration Reduction (VRII) system enables users to take substantially sharper handheld pictures at slower shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower* than would otherwise be possible. For VR shooting, users can select two VR modes to suit shooting conditions. Normal Mode primarily reduces camera shake in handheld shooting, detecting panning automatically.

Active Mode can compensate for vibration when shooting from, for example, a moving vehicle. The AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED also incorporates the Silent Wave Motor, an outstanding feature that offers fast and precise autofocusing with super-quiet operation. The two ED glass elements provide higher resolution and high-contrast images.

Together with the AF-S DX 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED lens, the new lens gives Nikon digital SLR owners a focal-length range from a wide 18mm to super telephoto 300mm (the picture angle is equivalent to 27mm to 450mm of 35mm format). RRP: £399.99Sales release date: October 2006AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED Major Features 4.3x, 70-300mm telephoto zoom (picture angle, when used with Nikon DX format digital SLRs is equivalent to a 105-450mm on a 35mm format SLR). The VRII minimizes camera shake by offering the equivalent of a shutter speed 4 stops* faster.

Normal and Active modes are available. Two ED glass elements minimize chromatic aberration in the entire zoom range while ensuring high resolution and contrast. Outstanding Nikkor optical performance makes it suitable for photography with both Nikon digital and 35mm film SLR cameras.

The SWM enables fast and quiet autofocusing, and smooth switching between autofocus and manual operation. Two focus modes are available — M/A and M. The Internal Focus (IF) design provides a constant lens length and eliminates rotation of the front lens element, facilitating the use of circular polarizing filters.

The nine-blade rounded diaphragm opening makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural. A flower-shaped bayonet hood is provided. Ø67 mm filter attachment size (Non-rotate).

2 I shoot RAW most of the time and post process with Capture NX. I'm shooting with a D2X and a D200. For jpg I like the vivid color setting, but the extravivid just looks unreal.

Otherwise default settings are fine.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
