\nThis Nikon zoom lens will be a great performer for wildlife photography and sports photography. You\u2019ll be able to achieve excellent close up shots of your kids from the bleachers or a fishing heron from the other side of the lake. Other than that it is a pretty standard lens with vibration reduction, silent focusing, and a 4.6ft minumum focus distance. The low light performance isn\u2019t so great, but that\u2019s okay since this will primarily be an outdoor lens. It\u2019s also pretty light for a lens with this kind of focal length. You can get this zoom lens for $399.95

    The large focal length makes this perfect for many different situations<\/p>\n

    Solid build quality with a metal mount means you won’t be afraid to rough it up slightly<\/p>\n

    Gets a clear shot of far away action<\/p>\n

    Weaknesses<\/span><\/p>\n

    It’s a bit bulky to be an everyday lens<\/p>\n

    Won’t be a very good indoor performer due to the widest aperture and 55mm minimum focal length<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
