Verdict
Despite having a wide zoom range, Nikon's 55-300mm zoom failed to deliver anything special of significance. As such, and given its DX-only sensor coverage, potential buyers may prefer to choose Nikon's AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR telephoto zoom, it delivers a more refined performance and better results.
