Nikkor AF-S 55-300mm VR Lens - Unboxing and zoom test with D3100

[IJTRedOne]

which is better? the 55-200mm if vr or this one? im really confused of the two lenses im going to buy.

[MrDugong78]

@IJTRedOne 55-300mm is better, because it has 100mm extra

[IJTRedOne]

@MrDugong78 decided to buy the 55-200mm vr stead'. got better reviews/experiences in the net/personal stories than the 55-300mm.

[IJTRedOne]

@MrDugong78 and if im going for the extra 100mm, ill go for the 70-300mm vr 2 cuz of same IF spec as the 55-200mm VR :D tnx anyway for the rep

macbook :3

[leopoldfoto]

The lens has a poor quality.

I just bought it, because I do n ot often use this length.

Bright weather and normal objects give good photos.

[Srenteria912]

This lens is horrible!

[mrrockitinmypocket]

trying to screw the lens to the body in the opposite direction.. canon user?

[shadowwd]

do u recommend it?

[MrDugong78]

@shadowwd yes

[tomnikond600]

I go for prime lenses...

[prmass1]

Get it while you can. Unprecedented nikon instant rebate on this lens $150 off. I just bought one for $246. At this price it kicks the 70-300 ass costing more than double. 5 more days to go- get it while you can.

[Superketo]

I think it was the best video of unboxing and zoom test on youtube, I'm a bit confused to buy a 55-300mm or 70-300mm which one do you think is better for my D3100? :)

[MrDugong78]

@Superketo nikon 70-300mm VR lens is better, because it has faster auto-focus and have internal focus (IF) assure a quick and silent operation.

[movania89]

@MrDugong78 this lens has IF to.. and its auto focus is very fast! i owe this lens and love it.. the details of this lens at 300 are better then the deails of 70-300!

[MsJohnmckenzie]

@Superketo 55-200 has cheap plastic baynet the 70-300 is made of metal will last longer

[AlmightyPinecone]

I heard the autofocus on this lens is slow, And was curious if it was or not...

[MrDugong78]

@AlmightyPinecone it was not slow, it is normal

[Unahb321]

@BiGPOY24 yes ...

absolutely



[MrDugong78]

@BiGPOY24 no, this lens is with built-in auto-focus motor, so any Nikon body (with or without auto focus motor) works with this lens.

[MrDugong78]

@BiGPOY24 yes, this lens work with D5100 and any nikon DX body

[TheMiszerak]

Numb on Piano, sounds beautiful ..

[bersek23]

@MrDugong78 yun ang the best - naka paa

[MrJakamoJo]

How do you find this lens performs in low light?

[MrDugong78]

@MrJakamoJo This lens is not good for the low light situation, but when you shoot in the low light, you have to reduce the Shutter Speed and increase iso. Try set your camera dial to M for manual

[MrJakamoJo]

@MrDugong78 Thank you, how do you think it would do with a good flash say at a wedding party? perhaps this lens would be better with flash> Nikon 55-200mm?

[MrDugong78]

@MrJakamoJo Yes it is always better with flash..

[MrJakamoJo]

@MrDugong78 Thank you! :o)
