Nikon DX AF-S NIKKOR 55-300mm 1: 4.5-5.6G ED VR SWM HRI Details:
In short
Nikon 55-300mm F / 4.5-5.6 VR – Telephoto Lens with Image Stabilizer for Nikon DX cameras. First of all, the Nikon 55-300mm F / 4.5-5.6 VR is interesting for 5.5x zoom and the ability to use 300mm focal length. Considering crop factor Nikon DX cameras for which this lens was designed, its EGF will be as much as 450 mm. This lens makes it easy to ‘reach’ distant objects. With Nikon 55-300mm F/4.5-5.6 VR you can shoot people from afar, wildlife, use as a portrait lens. Nikon 55-300mm F / 4.5-5.6 VR has a small aperture F / 4.5-5.6, but avoid grease when handheld photography stabilization system helps Nikon VR second generation. I achieved what I could take off without grease, using 300 mm focal length and shutter speed of the order of 1/80 second. I was satisfied with the work of VR.
Unfortunately, the focusing speed of the Nikon 55-300mm F / 4.5-5.6 VR is at a very low level, and the lens also has a very inconvenient manual focus.
