I have gained this Tele for my natural u. Wildlife photography. Ordered, a day later I was able to test it right. Super, Amazon! In our zoo a falconer show took place. So, I'll be back and have only kept this lens on my Nikon D90 still on it. The final results obtained are terrific. An incredibly good sharpness and detail. During the air show, I have used the continuous shooting mode. Here, the Committee is of course much, but I've reached yet grandiose single shots.
I also know the "big Buder" of this lens, the Nikkor 70-300 VR, also in practice. The image quality is pretty much identical because of my experience, which I think subjectively that the sharpness of the 55-300er perhaps a tad better.
In contrast to the same high-intensity 70-300er, but which one is heavier and larger, no Innenfocussierung takes place in this objective, which in turn is slightly faster. This is to cope with the use of a continuous shooting mode obviously beneficial, yet. Further moves in 55-300er while focussing the tube on / off, which also includes the risk of dirt / dust influences on the lens inside.
In consideration of all the u. Of good verschmerzbaren drawbacks I can still safely recommend this O.. For me, it's primarily the result generated illustration. In this point, the 55-300 is hard to beat. It is also cheaper to buy compared to the certainly good 70-300er 1/3. I am very pleased overall u. I am pleased now to be able to call this lens my own! So who still hesitates, I can only advise to access. The price / performance ratio is top notch! Enjoy all those who decide now :-)
