I DO NOT REGRET MY PURCHASE - great rate, great goal - a good dive all focal even 300mm. correct contruction close enough of an expert model. Only small regret: MAP close to 1.40 m, Nikon could have done better and no possibility of manual focus in AF mode. Anyway a Nikon 70-300mm VR is not the same prix.On can not have your cake and eat it too. Highly recommended both by its qualities - it is highly rated in magazines pictures - that its price accessible to small budgets.
