Hi folks,



I love my Nikkor 70-300 VR.

This is a very affordable lens due its quality.

Until 200mm, its a monster. Very good IQ.

Impressive image at 70mm.

VR is very good.

I found a very good use to photograph birds, animals and guess... portrait shots.





Check some nice shots i have with this at my webpage:

It is affordable "due to its quality"? I think you may mean something else <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />.



You basically like any 70-300mm, not the Nikon in specific. The Canon 70-300 IS is optically better at the long end, you would love that lens too. The Sony 70-300mm on a Sony SSS body you would love too... as it is even better. And the new Tamron 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 VC USD you would love too, as it appears to even beat the Sony at 300mm. And then you would also love the 70-300mm L IS USM from Canon... because it has super optics (like the Tamron) with super build quality.



Basically, the "new" generation of 70-300mm lenses, which started with the Canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM (is we do not count the Zeiss 70-300 zoom lens for Contax) has improved the breed quite a bit.



I am glad you are happy with your lens.
