What Buyers Say
Nikon Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G DX AF-P ED
75 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews
This Nikon 70-300mm lens is generally well-liked for sports and kids' events, offering good reach and image quality at a reasonable price. Most users praise its performance and value, especially as a renewed item that looks and works like new. However, one buyer received a defective unit with non-functional autofocus and manual focus, and another noted minor cosmetic damage on arrival. The lack of VR is a common consideration, but many find it acceptable with a tripod or steady hands.
