Nikon Lenses Not yet tested Lens Review Navigate Review
The lens also does not focus very close
light lenses are very prone to vibration
Distortion is noticable at the long end
The focus speed is quite slow
Nikkor does not feature an internal focus design so
autofocus isn t always This doesn t have much in the way of image stabilization
The lens is a poor performer past 200=220 mm
The pictures tend to be soft and color kind of flat
just does not live up to the Nikon quality
6G AF can be a bit confusing to research online
people can t even agree on the specs
cameras
you only get manual focus
Nikon clearly did not make manual focus a priority on this lens
Zooming in/out was a little stiff at first
