One-lens travel zoom for FX and DX DSLRs

This Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II covers a 10.7x focal range from 28mm to 300mm. It is built for photographers who want wide-angle to telephoto reach without changing lenses on Nikon DSLR bodies.

Confirm F-mount compatibility

Verify that your camera uses the Nikon F mount before ordering. On DX-format bodies the angle of view equals a 42-450mm equivalent in 35mm terms, so the wide end becomes moderately wide rather than truly wide.

VR II stabilization and SWM focus aid handheld work

Vibration Reduction II allows shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than normal for sharper stills and steadier video. The Silent Wave Motor drives fast, quiet autofocus while the 18-inch close-focus distance works at every focal length.

Questions about this item

Does the box include a hood and filters, or must they be purchased separately?

The lens ships with front and rear caps. A petal hood and circular filters are optional accessories not included in the package.

Should I choose the FX 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II or a DX-specific zoom for my DX body?

On DX the 28-300mm covers an equivalent 42-450mm range, giving wider reach than most DX kit zooms while keeping full-frame compatibility.

How does the 10.7x zoom range perform for handheld video at 300mm?

VR II stabilization allows shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower, keeping 300mm footage steady without a tripod.
