<p>I am considering buying this lens and would like feed back as to whether it is a good all round lens to be used with a Nikon D300s<br>

Thanks Harold</p>

<p>Hi Harold<br>

That is a very nice FX lens and I use that with my Nikon D750. It would be a great addition if you plan on upgrading to an FX body at some point.<br>

<br />If a DX body is in your future for a while, you might want to consider the 18-300mm Nikon DX lens (there are two versions). It gives some additional wide angle view compared to the lens you are considering. When I was using my Nikon D200 (DX body), I had the 18-200mm DX lens (the 300mm version was not available) and I found the 18mm point quite valuable for close quarters shooting of groups.<br>

<br />Of course this is all balanced between using a single zoom lens to cover the wide range of situations vs also consider other zooms or primes in the mix.<br>

<br />Just my opinion of course.</p>

<p>Good and allround do not mix well; if optical performance is the biggest concern, zoomlenses with a wide zoomrange are best avoided. Considering it's a 11x zoom, the 28-300VR is certainly a good lens. But in absolute terms, it's certainly not without its flaws, and not all that cheap nor small either.<br>

On a DX camera, a lens that starts at 28mm is fairly limiting, as you'll have very little wide angle. I assume you already have some lenses with your D300, in which case you can check for yourself how do-able it is for you to have 28mm as the widest option. For me, it wouldn't work. In addition, DX lenses as the 18-300 mentioned are cheaper too. If you want a decent step up in quality, the 16-85VR and 18-140VR are optically better, they have a bit less zoomrange though.<br>

But maybe it would help if you could add which lenses you already own, that could help understanding which option could be worth considering.</p>
