Nikkor lenses are synonymous with excellent edge to edge sharpness and this lens is no exception. Nikkor is generally also associated with "expensive" label, but this lens is real value for money and reasonably priced, for the performance and quality. This len the Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm is ideal for wildlife photography .


I was able to shot some amazing wildlife shots, when I visited Wildwood, a British Wildife reserve in Kent. The day was overcast and the indviudal pens are nestled in some ancient woodland, giving the animals a real natural envirement. I was glad for the anti-shake facility built into this lens, which allowed me to shoot with slow shutter speed withhout the dreaded camera shake. The VT allowed me to handhold at 30th of a second and yes, the picture was sharp and correctly exposed.

The quality is pin sharp and the versatility of this zoom is just perfect for Wildlife photographers. This is not just useful for wildlife photo shoots, but I would go as far as saying, this Zoom lens should be in every Nikon DSLR owners kitbag . Don't leave the house without one.
Happy shooting

If like me you own a Nikon Digital camera and a standard 18 to something zoom, the next step is to invest in something a bit longer to capture those far off objects.
Now this is where the fun starts,there are lots of lenses out there from just under a £100 to well over £4K, all claiming to give you excellent image quality.
It pays to do a bit of searching on the net and if you research this lens you will discover that it gets great reviews from all.
For me it has the VR or vibration reduction function which is really useful allowing the use of slower shutter speeds allowing you to get sharp pictures more of the time.
In my opinion anything handheld at 300mm and using less than 1/250th sec would be blurry,as I seem to have the shakes(No wonder im not a brain surgeon LOL)
What VR does not do,is help freeze action.So if you need high shutter speeds then sell the wife and kids and buy one of those £4k monsters, for the rest of us the 70-300 VR is perfect offering fast focussing and sharp images and all for well under £300 if you look hard on Ebay.
