Why we recommend this

Covering a 150-600mm focal range with built-in VC image stabilization, this f/5-6.3 zoom brings distant subjects within reach for Nikon F-mount cameras. Its Ultrasonic Silent Drive autofocus motor operates quickly and quietly, while eBAND and Fluorine coatings combat flare and repel moisture and oil. The lens suits budget-minded wildlife and sports photographers who need significant telephoto power without the weight or cost of exotic primes.
