Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR
|
Specifications
Lens rental package includes: Front cap, rear cap, UV filter, and lens hood.
Description On an FX body, the AF-S 28-300 ED VR covers nearly every aspect of travel, landscape, and portrait photography - including those elusive distant subjects. On a DX-format camera, the apparent focal length gets a 1.5x bump and it turns into a long-range ace-up-the-sleeve. The VR II image stabilization allows you to handhold the your camera at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper still images and stable video capture. For critical focusing-moments the lens has a M/A focus mode switch that allows the photographer to quickly change between manual and autofocus modes. The autofocusing is remarkably smooth and quiet - thanks to Nikon's silent wave motor system. The aperture diaphragm boasts no fewer than 9 blades that produce a rounded opening - a feature that will be greatly appreciated by bokeh-lovers everywhere! The lens elements have been treated with Nikon's Super Integrated Coating - an optical lens coating process that maximizes light transmission while enhancing clarity and contrast. All of these world-class features add up to the AF-S 28-300 ED VR being a go-to lens for just about every adventure. |

Shantanu: An excellent walk around lens. Can't beat the sharpness of a prime, but makes up in full in terms of versatility. A great choice to take on a trip, instead of lugging around a huge bag of different lenses. This lens and perhaps a compact wide angle prime are really all one needs on a day-to-day basis.
Francis: Overall great walkaround lens. Images are fairly sharp with great bokeh. The focal length is ideal as a single lens for your outings. The problem, however, when going to 300mm is that you'll most likely need a tripod, or VR on with a very steady hand. In addition, there is lens creep from either fully extended or fully collapsed. I highly recommend using the 28mm lock on the lens. I used the lens on a Black Rapid strap and the lock switch was vital. All in all, the image quality and color rendition are great. The lens is heavy, but it's much lighter than carrying a bag with lenses covering that large focal range.
