Great general use prime lens!

Use this on my D800 and it focuses quickly and is very sharp. Some might be put off by "no VR" but this lens does not need it and I am able to get good photos of my kids indoors, one handed. Its a great buy and if you can get over not having a zoom lens you will not be sorry.
What's great about it: Superb sharpness, quiet operation.
What's not so great: lightweight, could be mistaken for being cheap
I would recommend this to a friend!

The versatile focal length allows you to capture intricately detailed photos of sports events, wildlife and distant scenery. Vibration reduction technology reduces blur caused by camera shake for crystal clear handheld photos and action shots.
 

Is this lens(70-300mm) compatible with my D80?

Yes it is.

i have a D40 AND WANT A LENS FOR TAKING UP CLOSE SHOTS AND PORTRAITS THAT ARE CLEAR WHAT IS A GOOD LENS FOR THAT?

i WANT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE SHOTS UP CLOSE OF THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO GIVE ME A VERY CLEAR PICTURE OF DETAILS OF SUBJECT SUCH AS DESIGNS ON A BUTTERFLY WING
If you want extreme closeups, you will have to get a macro lens. The Nikon 105mm VR Micro might work for you.

I want to move up to a better lens for my D3000.

I purchased a D3000 camera package with a AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED lens. It takes great outdoor action photos of softball games. I want to get another lens for closer closeups. Any suggestions?
The only option that is reasonably priced is the Nikon 55-300mm VR lens. Nikon does make an 80-400 lens that is much larger and cost about 4 times as much. Both have built in AF-S motors and will work with your camera.

I have seen a bundle of Nikon D3100 with 55-300 lense however in most of the other websites we only find 70-300 lense

I have seen a bundle of Nikon D3100 with 55-300 lense however in most of the other websites we only find 70-300 lense. Is 55-300 authentic Nikon/Nikor lense? Is 55-300 compatable with Nikon D3100?
The 55-300 is compatible with your camera and might be a better option than the 70-300 VR.

Kenko 2x Multiplier with 70-300mm on DX D80

So If i used this 70-300MM FX lens on a DX D80 making the lens a 105-420 then used a Kenko Teleplus 2x DGX 7-Element Teleconverter for Nikon AF between the body and the lens I could effectively have an 840mm lens for around $700-800?
It might work, but your aperature on the lens would be like F8 and your camera might have difficulty focusing. You might have to manually focus.

Lens Compatibility for D70

Will the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1:4-5.6G lens work with a Nikon D70?
Will the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G lens work with a Nikon D70?
Both of those lenses will work with your camera.

Will this lens work on a D3000? I thougth only DX lens were compatable?

The d3000 requires a lens that has a built in AF-S motor. The Nikon 70-300 VR lens has a motor built in it, so it will work for your camera. The 70-300 VR is a pretty large and heavy lens so unless you really need the reach to 300mm you may what to opt for the Nikon 55-200mm VR lens.

What is a Nikon DX vs. just a DSLR?

I have been looking for a short range zoom lens for my D3100 DSLR. I see lenses for Nikon DX SLRs. Will those lenses fit my D3100?
NIkon DX refers to their crop frame sensors. The D3100 has a crop-frame DX sensor. The DX lenses are made exclusively for crop-frame sensors and will work great.
