More telephoto reach than most APSC zoom lenses, Very good image quality, 4stop stabiliser enables consistently sharp handheld shots,

The latest-generation 4-stop Vibration Reduction works a treat and build quality is a step up from Nikon's smaller 55-200mm VR lens, making the Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR well worth the extra £60 outlay.

Optically, the Nikon AF-S Nikkor DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is better than we expected it to be, based on its price tag and 5.5x zoom ratio. Centre sharpness, in particular, is very good at most focal lengths, including 300mm where most consumer zoo...
