Comments about AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Zoom Lens - Factory Refurbished

Pros: Shipped quickly and very well packaged...arrived in perfect condition. This lens adds another level of capability to my Nikon D3300. While I haven't had time to experiment much with it the photos I have taken came out great. Very happy with it so far. Cons: None yet...other than size and weight, which is not a fault of the lens but a by product of its capabilities. Other thoughts: A worthwhile addition to my camera accessories and capabilities.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
