Tamron 70-300 VC

Wow. Nice.

There is indeed.  F8 also but I simply could deal with the softness past 250 or so despite trying several copies.  Went Tamron 70-300 VC and never looked back.

It should auto focus fine. Good luck.

I find variation in these lenses. I tried one and it was very close and had very good IQ compared to my 18-55 vr kit lens but I also have a very good copy of that one.

18-105 VR Simple.  Has enough range to cover most everything with being just portable enough.

Assuming you mean the VR version of the 70-300 that one would be my choice.  I found it quite a bit better than the 55-300

Sorry, no.

Sorry you'll disagree but I find way too much QC variances among copies of this Nikon lens.

Disagree on the 70-300 options. I've had both and find the Tamron better in all aspects.

Have you tried using it?

For me..18-55 kit and then add Tamron 70-300 VC

I like.

Sorry people. Wrong answers. The label on the boxes and the registration on Nikons site only use numerical values.

+1 and I do own one!
