Nikon Zoom-Nikkor telephoto zoom lens - 70 mm - 200 mm F/2.8

Advantages: Superb quality, great value for money!
Disadvantages: Much heavier than its competitors

...This lens is one of my favourite lenses of all time! It is strong, reliable and incredibly sharp. The action on the zoom is smooth yet sturdy, and the auto focus works just as fast (or certainly not noticeably slower) as the far more expensive Canon version. Even the bag that comes with it is classy and stylish, as is the slick black body of the lens itself. The only possible complaint that I could have is that it's quite heavy, which makes it almost impossible to get a sharp picture when hand-holding at anything greater than 100mm zoom. Overall though, I couldn't be happier with this lens, and it certainly offers amazing value for money when compared to Canon and Nikon versions, which are several times more expensive, with no noticeable difference in quality!...

Advantages: quality otics, very rugged, smooth focus
Disadvantages:

Nikon have not sacrificed the ease of use in manual mode as tends to happen with cheaper lenses. The combined focus / zoom control is excellent for fast manual use. If I had to choose one lens and no other, this would be the one for me.... Read review
