中古 Nikon AF 55-300mm F4.5-5.6 G ED VR レンズ

Took this on a birding trip and the VR really saved my shots in low light—I could hand-hold at 300mm and still get crisp images. The zoom ring action is smooth and the lens feels solid despite being surprisingly lightweight for its reach.

I've been shooting local soccer matches with this lens and the VR makes handheld shots at 300mm surprisingly sharp. The zoom ring is smooth and the autofocus locks on fast enough for action. It's also noticeably lighter to carry around than my old telephoto.

Took this out for a weekend of birds and soccer games, and the reach at 300mm is just ridiculous for the weight. Even at full zoom, the autofocus locked on pretty snappy, and the VR kept my handheld shots sharp enough that I barely used a monopod.
