I had wide angle (12-24) and zooms (70-200 VR) and (18-55) as well as a couple fixed lens. I thought I would try the 28-300 and although not perfect, I am very thrilled with it. Since I bought it, I have not had the 70-200 (my best lens) on my camera. I still opt for the wide angle occasionally. The lens gives up slightly in the area of contrast and shapness especially when extended, but with post processing - one never knows the difference. It has fit the bill perfectly for the alll around lens.

I will make it Short This Lens is great. Long shots and up close.It will do it all and not a bad price for a 28mm and up to 300mm I have used both higher priced lens in both ranges.And this is the one I carry for trips for a shoot when I do not want to carry the bag...

This 28-300mm VR is Nikon´s all-rounder of a lens. It does everything, and it does most of it very, very well. The 28-300mm VR is much better than I expected.

I am on several trips (Amazon, Eastern Europe, etc.) and needed a walk-around lense.
This one fits my needs perfectly. I still bring my prime lense and wide angle zoom with me, but this is the first one that I turn to, in part because it works so well to take both video님ꖖ using my D7000.

This lens is very good for wildlife photo shoots.At the price it is about as good as is gets.I use this lens for all my nature shoots.Whenfully exstended it is zooming almost 500mm.It is mounted on a NikonD90.As is with my 18-200,I only need to carry two lens.I highly recommend it for those on a budjet.

This lens is great, it took the place of three lens I had and I have never been disappointed

I purchased this lens with a D7000 body. I wanted one lens that would fulfill all my needs. It´s some what heavy, but eliminates carrying other lens and changing back and forth. The picture quality is very good, as you would expect with Nikon. This lens is loaded with features that justify spending the money. I recommend this lens to those that are serious about photography, but can´t afford professional grade.

Not very sharp. Poor low light performance. Not worth the price I paid.

I really prefers to have 16-300 Nikkor lens. It looks same as 16-85 and 18-200. 16-300 will be so perfect to be used a lot.
