Product Description
The AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor lens will complete your photographic equipment so you can take photos like a professional. This lens works with digital reflex cameras to capture pictures that are rich in colour and true to life. The AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor lens is an ED lens of 15 elements in 11 groups for precise close-ups and ultra-accurate focusing. Perfect for portrait photographers or for distant subjects, the AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor lens includes a VR function that allows for speeds that are 3 times slower than normal. This system works directly with the focus by diminishing vibrations and correcting the chromatic distortions that are caused by low light. Plus, the AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor lens benefits from an amazing focal range going from f/22-32 minimum to 2/4-5.6 maximum for optimum use. Including a ?Silent Wave Motor? for quick and quiet focusing, this lens can be used anywhere at any time, be it for weddings, holidays, or nature hikes. With the AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor lens, you?ll always bring back your favourite memories.

Superb Lens but beware incompetent carrier!
Lens is excellent - service provided by the seller Allcam first rate let down only by the staggering incompetence of the delivery courier Citylink who managed to attempt to deliver to the wrong address twice in succession.

Now e-commerce is a fantastic retail development but it depends on the reliability of the carrier. This one, Citylink in Northern Ireland should be avoided at all costs - they are eyewateringly inept and their customer service is a disgrace. By all means buy online folks but avoid this courier service like the plague!

One long lens
I've come back to photography after twenty-five years away so I still think in 35mm terms. I have this lens on my D40 and was very surprised at its long range which will be quite enough for me to take cricket photos this summer. I have a bad tremor but seem to have no problem getting good results with this lens so the VR works. The autofocus is something else but manual focusing is easy enough. For the money I don't think you could get any better but keep your 18-55mm to hand because I think you'll need both.

A great companion for the Nikon D40/D40x
A great lens for a tiny price! This is an excellent lens to really take you a step further into the world of digital SLR photography.

I've owned the D40 for about 7-8 months and I finally decided that I'd like to be able to pick out features and have a bit more flexibililty with zoom. So after reading around I decided upon this for it's ability, but mainly becasue of the price tag! A quality lens for this much money is a nobrainer. The VR is essential, especially in low light situations and i've got excellent results with it.

Great Lens!
I was immediatly impressed with this lens. It feels well made and sturdy. The image quality seems impressive, and the Vibration Reduction works extremely well, making telephoto shots a pleasure to take. I would recommend getting this over the non-VR version anyday, it really is worth the extra money.

Good Lens but why so expensive?
Good lens to complement the 18-55mm kit lens. However I found an online/ retail shop in central London selling for £177 plus delivery. Also got a filter and a spare battery - similarly lower prices too. It pays to search around.
