As someone else pointed out in these reviews, it doesnt perform like a lens that costs a thousand dollars, but you will get some nice pics with a wide range of focal lengths. It is great for walking around without carrying a lot of equipment. I took the cardinal photo just before dark at 300mmm and thought the detail was pretty nice.

this is a great lens for everyday use. its relatively light and compact. i like that it locks on 18 so no creep when carrying it. it is very sturdily built. focal / zoom ring has a bit more drag than some of my other lenses but not a detraction. if you want an all- around lens so no switching for close and telephoto this one is hard to beat for the price. i am sure experts want better, but i took this all over africa on vacation and shots were amazing.

Did not fit my camera (Sony alpha a6000) had to buy an additional adapter, which has made this lens manual. However, still works pretty well as a manual lens, but may look into a different adapter to utilize the auto functions.

Works well with my Pentax K3, but focus is a little soft "out of the box". To be fair, I could probably figure out how to adjust it to sharpen it up a little, and when getting a one-size-fits-all lens, wont be as nice as a Pentax prime. Duh. That being said, I love the versatility, as I can put it on, go for a hike, and photograph whatever I want, while leaving my camera bag behind. The freedom that gives me makes up for the quibbles.

Being its still so difficult to find reviews of this lens, and its now the holiday season, heres a limited pic first impression mounted on a Nikon D5100. When compared to the latest Sigma 18-250mm Macro lens this lens feels of better build quality, noticeably heavier up front, stiffer zooming (not a bad thing), noticeably sharper images...seemingly across the full zoom, feels about the same focusing speed across all lighting/zoom...possibly a tad faster, stabilization seems about the same...possibly a tad better, BUT...WOW THIS LENS BREATHS LIKE A DRANGON. You can actually feel the air being forced through the camera. Some have commented about the Nikon 55-300mm lens being a dust sucker, I dont find that lens too terrible, but Im pretty sure this lens will have that one beat hands down...unfortunately. My particular lens does have a noticeable "click" when ending its focus hunt, possibly a parking mechanism for gears?, and its focus is dead on right out of the box. Barrel distortion isnt too bad, chromatic aberration doesnt appear to be either, but with the built-in flash Ive gotten a few shots with a half moon on the bottom from the lens blocking the flash. At this point Id have to call this lens a buy, bearing in mind it might not be the best choice for a dusty environment. If youre after a versatile family lens this lens can catch my 18 month old grandson indoors, in low lighting, clearly...and he never stops moving, not even in his sleep. Deer out in the field, snowscapes, birds at the feeder, Jack-frost paintings, snowflakes,...hopefully its longevity matches its versatility.

In an attempt to take more photos, I bought this lens in the hopes I would be able to capture a greater range of shots with the 18-300 zoom. So far, this lens has been just the inspiration I needed. I can take Bokeh portrait shots, wide angle landscape photos, and everything in between with this lens. My intention was to have a single lens to take on an Alaska trip in August, 2019. I wanted to travel light and not need more than one lens and this lens has been perfect for that. The auto-focus is smooth, quick, and quiet, and the image stabilization helps a lot on those longer focal length shots. I highly recommend this lens to any beginner/intermediate photographer looking to step up from the kit lens or have a all-in-one lens for macro to zoom. It is much heavier than my previous 18-55 lens, but in no way am discouraged by the weight. Is compact enough to fit in my small bike messenger bag along with my lunch and rain jacket.

Its a very good lens, in my opinion better than some Pentax lenses that I own. Very good macro capabilities, sharp all the way, nice colors, very silent, not the fastest but very fast autofocus, annoying vignette but not the worst (might be the lens hood). Perfect for hiking and traveling due to its pretty compact form and low weight (for a 300mm at least). Great versatility, you can shoot everything from macro to portrait to landscape and to wildlife. The very silent autofocus and sharp 300mm is just perfect for wildlife, way better than my other Sigma 135-400mm that is noisy and very very heavy.

Im not a photographer, so I cant really give a huge in-depth, nerdy, review, but I will say that I absolutely love this lens. I havent taken it off my camera since I got it two months ago. The build quality is fantastic, I actually prefer the heavier feel to it(its really not even that heavy), and after only a few zooms, it loses its factory stiffness and develops a very smooth action. Worth every single penny. Im not sure Ill ever really buy another lens.

Great lens for the money. When I am backpacking or climbing and can carry only one lens, this is it. I can work close or fairly long shots and dont have to swap lenses. Its not a smooth as some lenses when moving through the range of focal lengths, but I do not consider it a problem. Some may not like the less than perfectly smooth barrel travel. However, doesnt affect the images! Gets my vote!

Very good lens the only problem I have with it is that it is too dark. So personally I want with a much brighter lens but the one that has less zoom. With A73 I feel like if I need more reach I use "lossless" zoom in the camera and turn on APS-C crop. Just put them on hot buttons and you are set. Having a brighter lens totally worth the trade off. Most pictures we all snap are at home in poor lighting conditions and having a brighter lens makes a lot more sense.
