| 22 of 22 people found the following review helpful  Got what I expected: very good quality in the price range, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Digital SLR Zoom Lens with HB-36 Hood & Pouch Case + UV Filter + Accessory Kit for D3000, D3100, D5000, D7000, D90, D300s & D300S DSLR (Electronics) I read and watched many-many reviews before ordering this lens. I bought my Nikon D60 with in kit with the 18-105 VR lens, so this 70-300 is the logical extension of its zoom range.Having so much advance information I was well prepared for the cons: soft pictures at >200mm and occational focusing problems. Based on those reviews I actually expected them to be much more a problem: I probably wouldn't have noticed them if I didn't know about them up front. I took a few test pictures in the overlapping zoom ranges: at 70mm and at 105mm, in both cases pictures taken with the 70-300vr turn out to be noticably sharper and more colorful than the pictures taken with the 18-105mm. VR works unbelievably well, but you have to get used to the clicking sounds when VR turns on and off. VR makes up for the not so low F values of this lens. But any zoom lens with similar zoom range and lower aperture settings seems to come at triple prices or more, so for me they...

The optics of this lens is much better than the cheaper versions that this lens replaces. In particular, the 70-300 G and the metal mount 70-300 ED versions are not as sharp as this lens. The VR function really works and significantly improves the picture image eliminating most blurs due to camera vibration and hand movement.Folks using this lens on a DX sensor camera need to know that the crop factor means you are shooting with a much longer lens effectively. For example, at a focal length of 300mm the equivalent full frame is 450mm. The rule of thumb is to use 1 over the focal length as a minimum shutter speed to get a blur free shot. At the full 300mm zoom focal length this means you need 1/300 on a full frame and 1/450 of a second on a DX to get blur free shots. The VR function helps to provide a 3 to 4 stop advantage. This means in practical terms that you can take a...

So I am not going to bother writing about the lens since other reviewers have written a lot about it.This review is about the other options of buying on Amazon. I bought it from Cameta camera via Amazon. The lens cost offered by Amazon was $540 just for lens which is still less as compared to other vendors. But I got the lens with hood + UV filter + lens cleaning kit + shipping for $539 It took 6 days to ship as mentioned but everything is just as expected. So i would give full point to Cameta camera for excellent price offer and fast service. People please look for the bundled offer since sometimes you might end up getting more for lower price |

Product Description

♦ 2) Precision Design 6-Piece Deluxe Cleaning Kit

The Nikon 70-300mm is a powerful 4.3X telephoto zoom lens designed for Nikon Digital and Autofocus Film SLRs. When used on a Digital SLR, it is equivalent to a 105mm to 450mm telephoto zoom lens on a 35mm film camera. This zoom range is ideal for portraits, candids, sports, travel, wildlife, and nature photography. This versatile lens also has macro capability for impressive close-ups of smaller objects such as flowers along with Vibration Reduction (VR) which provides sharper, blur-free pictures at shutter speeds as much as 4 stops slower than one could ordinarily handhold; a Silent Wave motor (AF-S) for fast and quiet autofocus operation.
This Vivitar UV Filter is a multi-purpose, fine-weather filter that is designed to optimize your photography experience. UV filters block out unwanted ultraviolet light and prevents the UV "fogging/haze" effect", which can result in inaccurate color and lower the apparent sharpness. This filter is also ideal for protecting your valuable lens from scratches and dust, and it can be kept on the lens at all times. Perfect for digital, video and photo.
The Precision Design 6-Piece Deluxe Cleaning Kit contains everything you'll ever need to properly clean your lenses, including a Hurricane Air Blower, Lens Cleaning Tissues, Lens Cloth, Lens Cleaning Liquid, Brush and Cotton Swabs.
