The lenses is way better than my previous one. You can’t even tell it was refurbished and it’s a great way to save $100

Auto-zoom works perfectly. Nice weight (feels "high quality"), the included caps lock tightly. Included a large shade (thank you!). Impressive product.

I bought this item for a special event. Unfortunately I'd have to be far away in order to take pics. Many of my pics came out blurry since I couldn't get it to focus being that it doesn't have a focus ring on it.

I purchased this lens for my Alaskan vacation. The zoom was perfectly situated for pictures of wildlife on the mountains, such as Caribou, sheep, and mountain goats. It also allowed me great close-ups of the whales in the straits.The lens worked perfectly with my Nike on operated flawlessly during the vacation.The lens is a little heavy. You need to be aware of that if you’re going to carry it for a long period.

I was skeptical about buying a refurbished lens however I was pleasantly surprised. The lens is in perfect condition, the shipping was right on time and the lens takes beautiful pictures. I wanted to upgrade from my kit lens and I’m glad this is what I chose.

Na descrição do produto não tinha especificação nenhuma que a lente possuía problemas de foco e nem que estava com fungos. Como eu estava trabalhando em outro local e a pessoa que recebeu o produto não tinha conhecimento técnico infelizmente não tive tempo hábil para fazer a devolução.

The best normal to tele zoom for a DX Nikon. I hate zooms, I only use them when it is to troublesome to attach an older, sharper, all-manual Nikkor. There are times when a zoom is very handy, and this one is pretty darn sharp -- better then the 200mm model. The VR function can give you 3 extra shutter-speeds higher than w/o VR -- it really works. You can hand-hold this beast in decent light!One star deducted for the slowness of the AF. Forget using it for sports, unless you take the time to learn the right places to be, and anticipate the action (what you should do regardless!). For auto racing, pan-zooming, this isn't a good lens. Be very careful when the barrel is protruding way out. This is a cheaper, plasticy lens. You can break it by bumping into something hard zoomed all the way out! For $200-$250, a sharp lens!

For all the reviews stating that "if you can't take a good picture with an 18-55 mm then it won't help to upgrade", I have to respond with: that is patently false. One of the only things that DSLRs are good for, in comparison to the 16MP smart phones of today, is the zoom feature and there are certain shots that you will never be able to get without a zoom.The way I look at it, these types of far seeing lenses are better than a pair of binoculars in most cases and you can also capture an excellent image of what you see at the same time! That is truly priceless, and nothing can replace the ability to take an image that would otherwise require you to be floating mid-air to get the same level of detail; maybe when jetpacks become available or quadcopter photography, but otherwise, it is impossible to get telescopic detail with a wide-angle lens, especially in places that you are not able to move closer in order to view.Additionally, the flattening effect of a telescopic photo is quite beautiful and this particular lens does produce a fantastic bokeh, as others have stated.I have attached three pictures which allow you to see the benefits of a telescopic lens.The first shows the bokeh in the lower left corner; the photo was taken at a cliff's edge. The other two demonstrate the detail of a full zoom which would otherwise have never been captured.
