Nikon AF-S 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VR IF-ED | Secondhand

With its wide to telephoto zoom range, the Nikon 28-300mm VR lens is perfect for photographers wanting to shoot a wide range of applications, and wanting to do so without switching lenses. This means it is wide enough for landscapes and group shoots, long enough for sports and wildlife, with plenty of space in between for snapshots, portraits and more. This lens has been made for FX-format cameras but it can be mounted on DX-format Nikon DSLRs also, where you lose the width but gain a bit more zoom at the tele end, in its 42-450mm equivalent zoom range.

With VR II stabilisation, the Nikon 28-300mm lens is suited to walk-around, handheld shooting, its 3.5 stops of shake reduction preventing camera shake that can occur from shooting at lower shutter speeds, and from bumps occurring at long magnification. Autofocus performance is not just accurate, but also fast and quiet, stemming from the inclusion of a Silent Wave motor. Distortions, aberrations, flare, and ghosting are all minimised, thanks to the ED and Aspherical elements used in the optical construction, and the application of Nikon’s Super Integrated coating. The Nikon 28-300mm lens doesn’t just temporarily mind the places of several other lenses in your kit, it makes itself at home.
