Nikon AF-P Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR

I use the lens on a d7200 as a replacement for the old af-s version. Much sharper, much quieter, much faster but not cheap. This also has a switch for vr, because on the cheaper version it is missing and it cannot be switched off (yet?).

Should not be missing in the camera bag, unbelievably sharp hand-held photos at full zoom range. Highly recommended.

Good optical performance for a very reasonable price. In terms of telephoto lens, very practical range (70-300mm up to 450mm if you use DX mode). Feels solid and is weather sealed, even though it is not a lens from the professional series. Mostly plastic is used (unlike many pro lenses), but the mount is metal and the lens feels sturdy. The construction of course keeps the weight low, which is a big advantage. In terms of brightness, it is not a star, but the difference between f4.5 (70mm) and f5.6 (at 300mm) is not that bad. If you need more light intensity, there are better alternatives, although they are of course larger, heavier and more expensive. I don't need that for my landscape photography and I am especially happy with a lightweight and weather-sealed lens with good image quality for a competitive price.
