[Nikon AF-S 70-300mm ED-IF VR] Class resolution – sharpness pure.
From ghoff
I work with a D300 now and build my lens collection. From the history I still have the 18-200 and the 50 / 1.8. What with the 70-300 I have received is simply top. Immediately compare images in low light conditions recorded. The 70-300 provides amazing. So I just wanted the photos, high resolution (comparable to the 50mm – and wants to read what a zoom), clean images with good contrast and excellent color reproduction over the entire zoom range even at open aperture (according to test reports, the lens on Vollformatsensor at the edge and at open aperture is not as good and therefore has “only 5 stars” instead of “Excellent” received – this does not affect me because I use the DX format in the D300 and have more hits since the verdict “Excellent” too).
In addition, the lens for Nikon, despite its very reasonable price even equivalent processed, no rattles, nothing moves, dust and splash protection. Measure I could not, but my feeling tells me that the VR still works somewhat better than the 18-200. With 300mm and 1/40sek. hot shots from the hand at open aperture – but what is – or? The 18-200 is unfortunately now dead for me, this image I will not renounce. Sorry, but it annoys me when at 100% magnification in the telephoto range everything is blurry, as with many lenses and also the 18-200. This is the sharpness of the lower part OK, but it sings from the resolution of 80mm from the right at 18-200. It is also different, see 70-300.
As previous speakers have said, I confirm. The only weakness I must admit: From 250mm telephoto in the candlelight of Autofouks needs a little time sometimes – but OK, so I can live (I can even use the Einstelllicht – but what the D300 is almost still in the dark without a light sharp relief !) The 70-300mm is already the top right and affordable lens for me.
