Nikon's DX telephoto zoom with extended 300mm reach and VR stabilisation.

The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G VR was released in 2010 as a budget super-telephoto zoom for Nikon DX bodies, providing an 82-450mm full-frame equivalent range — one of the longest in the budget DX telephoto category. The AF-S Silent Wave Motor enables compatibility with D40/D40x and later motorless Nikon bodies. Vibration Reduction extends handheld capability at the long end, where the narrow maximum aperture of f/5.6 at 300mm makes slower shutter speeds more likely in outdoor conditions.

The optical design uses 17 elements in 11 groups, including two ED elements. Nine rounded aperture blades produce smooth out-of-focus rendering. The 58mm filter thread is the Nikon DX kit standard — consistent with the 18-55mm AF-S kit zoom for filter carry-over in a two-lens DX setup. At 580g the lens is moderate for its reach. Minimum focus distance of 1.4m. VR provides handheld stability at telephoto distances. Variable aperture from f/4.5 at 55mm to f/5.6 at 300mm. AF-S SWM enables D40/D40x and later motorless body compatibility.

The 82-450mm equivalent range on DX is the primary practical argument for this lens: birds, wildlife at moderate distance, and outdoor sports at reach levels that a 70-300mm or 55-200mm cannot match. The 450mm equivalent provides a meaningful working distance advantage for wildlife photography. The shared 58mm filter thread with the 18-55mm DX kit zoom makes a two-lens kit practical with one filter set. VR extends handheld telephoto capability at the long end.

On the used market the 55-300mm VR is affordable as a budget DX super-telephoto. Condition checks: VR engagement, AF motor response at the 300mm end, zoom ring smoothness — push-pull zoom designs accumulate wear across the range — and front element for cleaning marks. The 58mm filter thread is consistent with the 18-55mm DX kit lens. Compatible with all Nikon F-mount DX and FX DSLRs; a DX crop is advisable on FX bodies at shorter focal lengths.
