 Best price 70-300mm. Lens September 6, 2008
Ufuk Gumustekin (Orlando, Fl Usa)
I have the Nikon D60 I think it's the best lens for this price ,but the bad thing is that is not VD, if your are not a professional photographer this lens can be a little difficult for taking pictures because of this. I'm telling you again its a really good lens.
Awesome Lens, Superfast Delivery September 5, 2008

If you're on a budget or just getting started, this lens does the job. Buy this lens and get used to it before you try and upgrade. You'll be happy you did since it may take a while before you enter the pro division. Spend your money on other needed gear.

I ordered this for my wife. The ordering process was easy and the company was a breeze to deal with. Good communication and fast shipping. Now on to the lens. It produces crystal clear photos and runs smoothly with her Nikon D40x camera in either manual or auto mode. She's very happy which means I'm very happy. Thanks.
 Good for the price! August 23, 2008

I think it is better if you can save your money and buy a better lens. This lens is OK, but it's takes a long time to focus. If you want to take a picture of an animal, by the time that this lens focuses the animal is already gone. The macro is not what I had expected!! You can do a better macro photography by buying a +10 magnifying filter which costs $30 and use it on an 18-55 lens that comes with Nikon D40x and D40.

This is the first non-kit lens that I have used on my D-40. The price was great for my budget. The macro works well for what I need, although I can't compare it to one of the 800.00 macro lens.
