5:52 Those 2 pics with the leaves in the ice are just glorious

Your videos are very informative and and I'm glad to be the first person to like this and hope it continues as always. All best to you..

Just purchased the lens can't wait to try it out! Thanks for the review of the lens it made purchasing it so much easier.

Thanks for another great tutorial video, look forward to seeing your thoughts on camera shooting as well as light room and post production . I bought this lens in addition to the non vr version that came in my kit package, primarily for video or long distance stabilization, has fared well. Went outdoors with my two shelties to a local state park and got some teriffic shots of a red-tailed Hawk against the blue sky and both warping and vignetting were non events, the photos turned out great Imo. Have a great day, and thanks again for your time and insights!

Exactly what I wanted to see, i.e. a multi-task lens in a camera like mine. Now I have bought it at half price in perfect condition to replace my 18-55, 55-200, 55-300. I would like to add that many of my friends have full-frame Nikons and are admired by the quality of such amateur equipment as the D3400 and dedicated lenses. After a series of photos taken with the 18-300 lens in manual mode, manual changing ISO frequently and other parameters, in a newer version, simplified and cheaper than its predecessor, I must admit that it perfectly replaced my current three lenses. Fast autofocus at various settings, good or even better quality photos / sharpness in low light. The manual ring close and in the perfect place does not interfere with the rest of the lens for hand positioning or other things. The zoom adjustment is not exactly perfectly smooth, but you can feel it. I found a review of this lens where someone was putting it on an FX camera ... My hands dropped. Or they compared it to lenses with a completely different purpose or wider ranges of work ... Once again, hands dropped at the sight of these pseudo-professionals. In my Nikon D3400 this lens does a very decent job and I don't think I would ever replace Nikon lenses with low quality Chinese from Tamron or Sigma.

Thanks for the video. I appreciate your camera tips as I am a new photographer. But this song has become one of my favorites after hearing it in a previous video. Thanks again.

I was looking for your review, you are always amazing

Your narrations are flowless and superb. May be You are the only photographer who showing us that with entry level DSLR we can take amazing clicks. Thanks for your review of this lense.

You have a great eye! Your videos always get me excited and eager to go out shooting

Thank you so much, been waiting for this video..Especially 18-300 lens

Great video! I've fancied this lens for a while now, especially as my Nikon 70 - 300 is cracking on, so you have inspired me to purchase it even more now! Love the leaves in ice :-) Keep up the great work. Tim Snow from North Wales, UK

Awesome video as always im loving my nikon d3400 and your videos are very helpful👍👍👍👍

Great video, and some wonderful shots. Nikon D3100; new to DSLR...

Another great video.As I always say it’s not the camera that makes the shot.Well done sir.Sniper Photography Australia

Terrific entertaining review and love the sound track. Many thanks 🙏🙏👍👍😊

Nice shots, especially the low light ones 👍

Great review and tutorial(!), and this exact combo is a steal on ebay these days, a LOT of bang for the $.

Thank you Sir. i asked a lot of questions about 18-200,70-300 and 18-300. so this video is really helpful to me sir. Thank you again for this wonderful video.

Nice lens, for a lens that reaches out to 300mm it sure is compact. I have a Sigma 28-200 that I love, it eliminates the need for some smaller zooms, much like this one you reviewed, but it is a little larger. The detail on this lens was really good with those close up shots. That extra hundred millimeter reach is a nice plus, this is a lens that I could easily make room for in my bag. Thanks for showing this lens to us.

One more great review! Your videos are so inspiring! After having photography as my main hobby for the past 2 years, I 've come to the conclusion that missing a shot is less forgivable than not having the best lens in terms of sharpness/distortion etc. I regretted buying (used of course!) the Tamron 70-200 as secondary lens for telephoto shooting. Too heavy! I rarely carried it in my bag because of the weight and also was a bit discouraged to move around strangers with this big gun. I sold it recently and I'm pretty convinced the 18-300 will be my next best lens-buddy (along with the 16-80 I'm already using as main lens on my d7500). I also keep a 50mm 1.8G for low-light. Thanks for your review and effort! Stay safe my friend!!! Ps. Forgot to mention that your field testing results agree with Ken Rockwell's review about the good bokeh of this lens. It's amazing how many pros this lens has, and distortion/vignette is a zero problem to me as I do raw editing 99% of the time!

Awesome videos as always!

I have the earlier version, bought it together with the D7K 6 years ago. It is heavier than this one. However, I can say it is a great lens.

Very interesting on this type of lens, and photos.

Thnk you, i think this video really help me a lot because i've been thinking of buying this lens..anyway, i got all the answers that i need regarding this lens, so keep it up on creating a video like this in the future..

3:13 great shot! Goes to show that you don’t need a super fast aperture for beautiful soft bokeh if you know what you’re doing.👍

Great review as all of your other ones. You are one if the best reviewers out there. Great photos too, thanks so much.

Buen día, para mayor claridad y nitidez en fotos a la luna cual es mejor el 18-300 o 70-300?

I had been considering purchasing this lens. Right now I have a 55mm-200mm which is ok but would be much more diverse with the 18-300. Biggest issue is the price point. Little doubt that it is a reasonably priced lens but much more that the lower end lenses. I also have the 35 and 50 primes which I love!! The lens I am really enjoying right now and just got this week was the 40mm macro. I never had so much fun shooting such a variety of tack sharp images. I am sure you have reviewed it already, but if not you got to spend a day with that one!!! Enjoy your videos and all you do. I can see where the 18-300 could be a real workhorse!!! Moonpie

Thank you sir. I appreciated your considerate analysis. The images looked lovely. The colour and contrast also looked will balanced. I use the Sigma 18-250mm and very happy with it on my D7100. It also performs beautifully on my D500. No need for the extra 50mm. Zooming with my feet is good enough. Cheers👍🏽

Can you please review the 85mm 1.8? Thanks in advance and great video.

Just bought one for my D7200 on David Busch's recommendation. I too like the 18-55 'kit' lens.

Good review as always. Earlier I said that i am going to buy Canon 800d but you made me like Nikon d3400 even though they reliased the d3500.

Great video and review- agree with your points. My main issue with mine is that its a very soft lens.

Excellent video, helpful. Thank you.

Yeah , its clear . Thank you sir !

Pienso exactamente igual que ud. Me encanta todos los rangos en uno solo. También depende para que lo quiera cada uno. A mí me vendría especialmente. Muy buen video congratulaciones

I am from INDIA, Could pls do a demo video about Nikon D3400 manual settings

Another good one 👌

I wonder how this lens will work with the Z6

How did you reveal/edit the photograph at 7:20? I love the sky and I can't figure out how to make it look so colorful

John Cena from the future! Thanks for the video. I found it helpful. I loved you in Peacemaker

I am a Canadian photojournalist /street photographer in Santiago Dominican Republic. And I love the nikon 18mm to 200mm lens great allows me the distance I need and the closeness I love. So I am sure 18mm to 300mm will be incredible. Wow great shots...

Great job!

What a timely video for me! Because I like to test 70-300mm lens this weekend. One question, when you took a photo of a leaf holding on your hand, the exposure setting was 1/125 at 300mm. Obviously, the shutter speed is slower compared to the focal length of 300mm. Did you use VR on? Many thanks!

Do you have any videos using filters? Do’s and dont’s or good times to use them? I also love your D3400 videos! I have learned so much from you.

Nice examples. You have the professional eye! I just got the D7500/ 18-200 but I'm thinking the 18-300 gives me a bit more reach for about the same size and weight. Should I upgrade, or will I lose quality? Or should I get the 18-300 Sigma, or the 18-400 Tamron? I intend to shoot videos and landscapes, and general photos like butterflies and birds. I'm a professional videographer, but a good amateur photographer. TY!

Hi, please advise...... at 18mm which shows best quality..this Nikon lens or Tamron 18 to 400 mm.... Similarly at 300 mm....which of the two shows better results.

Which lens do you prefer the most the 18mm to 200mm or 18mm to 300mm?

You take such amazing photos! Do you have a video on how to clean your lens?

Thanks for another great video., I've been wondering about this lens for a while. Trying to break down and find something with a better zoom for getting the shots that I want. Your review is letting me start to think it might be the right choice for my camera needs. The only question is "Would it replace my default 18 - 55mm?"

Just rewatched this one. As usual, it inspires me to go shoot random things and find beauty in the details. I have a question, though: what do you use to "colorpop" your images. I know Photoshop can isolate a certain color, but you have some that isolate an object with all its colors and leave the rest monotone.

As a rusted on Canon user (Sorry Nikon/Nikkor) this is the best all round lens I have ever had. I got some brilliant shots with this lens on both a Nikon D700 and D810, yes Fx. To go from close up at 18 mm or 30mm on Fx to 300mm is fantastic. In mho the most understand lens in digital history.

You just me saved me a bunch of cash. I was toying with the idea of ditching my 18-55 and 70-300 and replacing it with this lens but no, I don't want have warping at 18. Thanks!

Last Week I Bought a Nikon Nikkor 18-200mm😁... Much Love from Germany!!

Thanks a lot as this lens was actually on my purchase list. however, I am not sure if I am enough convinced to get one. :/ can this be used for portrait as well?

Hi!! I like so much ur vids! Thanks to you I bought my first DSLR, the D3400 and I'm so happy with this camera :) Is it possible to make a review of the fast standard zoom lens Sigma 17-50 F2.8 OS? Thank you

Another question!^^. Is Roberts Camera you mentioned in the video the same identity as Usedphotopro active in ebay?

Hey man thanks for all the awesome videos I just had one question I have a d3500 and I am thinking about getting the 18-200 like you have, I was just wondering is it to heavy for such a small body could you damage the lens mount/camera body or is that not a concern?

I found an 18-300mm Sigma compatible with my Canon EOS 4000D. Ought to get some great shots of my hummingbirds on my 4 acre paradise of woods and marsh in southwest Michigan. I loved those railroad pictures, by the way.

Great info for me as a newbie, was considering a 70-300 but this one for me on my motorbike would save space and be more convenient

first i would like to thank you again for your time into these videos ... i have a question ? i have the D5300 with the 70-300 kit lens and have been shooting the birds at our feeders outside and i notice if i shoot at just a little under full zoom it has its sweet spot ...but i would like to get closer with the lens.. do they have a good magnifier for more zoom???? ive also been looking at bigger zoom lens .... 500+MM do you know of a decent zoom lens ???? that is cost efficient??? im afraid of the cheep ones on amazon but have been considering one..:-)

So happy i found your channel. Nice and informative take my like and my sub good sir

Nice video!

Could you do a video comparing the 18-200 & the 18-300 please? Not sure which one to get Thanks

Great video. I was hoping for sharper images with the 18-300 lens. I'm getting a lot of noise even with the auto focus on while shooting outdoors.

It seems pretty much perfect for everything, from portraits to landscapes and nature stuff I'm a newbie, is it worth for it to be used as everything kind of lens? Can it do everything

Hi, so what would you recommend if I'm hesitating between the 18-200 and 18-300? (My old 18-200 broke and I want to replace it). The extra range is tempting but some reviews says it's not worth it because of the warping and vignetting and reduced light... Do you have a recommendation? thanks :)

Nice video once again! Do you plan to review the 16 80 from nikon? Cheers from Germany!

Thanks for this video! Think I'll stick with my 18/200. Can always carry the 70/ 300 if I need it. As for the temperatures, well in the Midwest, it's not the temps that are the worst it's the wind chills!!😉

I noticed in your metadata your ISO was constantly changing.. Did you do that or does the camera body have that capability if you are shooing in aperture or shutter priority? Thanks

Nice one !!

Thank u for this nice review ! I'm on a d7500, do u think it deserves a 18-140mm + 70-300 or this 18-300 will do the job well enough ? (Seems yes watching ur pics on a cheaper set !) I use to shot a lot of animals at sunset and at night with low lights... Nice song by the way xD Thanks

Good video! Thanks!

hey..great shots..im struggling to make those glare ripples that you have right there at 7:08 down the video... how did you get that? if it's by post processing, please do tell that setting, if that's a pure talent dive, ;) , please explain that too :)cheers...

Nice video as always! Have you ever taken pictures with Fujifilm cameras? If yes, what's your opinion to Fuji? I recently got a x100f with a fixed 23 mm lens and I really like it. Especially the film simulations are Pretty nice and the fixed lens that I can't change forces me to think more about my composition. Maybe you can get a Fuji camera in Robert's camera store for a future video :)

I believe you said you prefer shooting in either Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority. What are your thoughts on shooting ISO on Auto?

I had a nikon d5600 you think is a good lens to start i do love landscape and events

Looks like a decent wide range zoom ! Also , I was wondering , have you ever done a video on Super Wide angle photography and the fun shots you can get especially with people ? I really have fun with that kind of photography sometimes !

I was wondering if this was in the fall time....I would take my camera out but its 25 below zero with a wind chill of minus 35 and slippery. So I think ill wait

Sir, how to turn on the manual focus on in nikkor af 7070-300mm lens in nikon D5600? Need reply, pls

Love your work Rick from Aus

I have a Nikon D 7500 , I wanted to buy a big range zoom, I’m looking between the tamron 18-400 and nikkor 18-300 which of these two Lens you think is the best option for traveling with my D7500 Thank you in advance for your advice

Hello What will you recomand: NIKON AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm 1:3,5-6,3 G ED VR or NIKON AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm 1:3,5-5,6 G ED VR . What is the difference? Thank you for the great work. Best regards

It would be interesting if you could compare it with tamron 18-400mm since both of them cost almost same.

Hello, this seems like an good lens, if you can deal with warping issues on small zoom sizes. However I am still undecided between this and the AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED. It seem this AF-S DX NIKKOR has better aperture, minimum focus distance and quieter. Which one do you feel has better telephoto zoom quality in final shots, esp in middle and 300mm? I am a high entry level user using 5600. Esp as £200 of difference.

I may have missed it, but I do not think you ever distinguished which of the two Nikon 18-300 lenses you are reviewing in this video. Is this the f/3.5-6.3?

I have the 55-200mm and a 70-300mm. They are fairly cheap so the focusing isn't very fast. Would you say the 18-300mm has a fast focus, say for sports photography?

Hola. Te pregunto, entre el 70-300 y el 18-300 cual tiene mejor calidad de imagen? Gracias

Hi, Would it be suitable for taking pics at my son's rugby games? I currently have the 18-200 but the reach is short.

Hi I need an help. I own a D7200 with a 16-80, 70-300 IF ED VR, a 35 DX and a 50 AF-D. When i bought the camera it was in kit with the 18-140mm which i used in very fews occasions. With my set of lenses, that 18-140 is "useless", so i were thinking to replace it with the neewer version of 18-300 (the f/3.5-6.3). It could give me the chance to have a single all around lens in daylight situation where a i can't/won't carry all the equipment (eg. on beach with child). Based on your experiences, immage quality is so far from 18-140mm? I'm not a pixelpeeper but i use to see immages from my better lenses and so i fear 18-300 is too much far from them. Coud you give me a suggestion? TNX. Regards from Italy. Giuseppe.-

Could you please review the Sigma 17-50 F2.8 OS? It’s a older lens but I’m thinking about selling my kit lens from the D3400 and purchasing the Sigma instead. I would greatly appreciate you reviewing the lens and telling us viewers your opinion :)

I was expecting a lot of chromatic aberration, was pleasantly surprised!

I am very much interested of watching yor videos ❤. All of your videos are very helpful for me.. Love from India 🇮🇳❤

At 18mm there was barrel warping, did you happen to shoot the brick wall at 24mm? Did you figure out where the barrel warping stopped?

Can you please make a video on how to do a time-lapse on the Nikon D3500? I'm having trouble finding how to do it.

There are two versions of Nikon’s 18-300. The older, heavier and more expensive 3.5-5.6 and the newer, lighter 3.5-6.3. I had the 3.5-6.3 and because of its range was my go-to lens for traveling with my D7100 DX body when I shot Nikon and didn’t want to take a bag of lenses with me. It’s compact and exactly the same size as the 18-140 that offers similar optical quality but significantly less reach. I never noticed the distortion that gets easily corrected in Lightroom. It does lack the speed of faster lenses so it’s strictly an outdoor lens in good light. On the long end it falls short optically compared to Nikon’s 70-300 FX lens and far short of a Tamron 70-200 2.8. But for a single lens on vacation travel it’s a good choice.

Since the demo camera is a more modern type body the 18 300 would fit great on my d5600

I have the 70-300, 18-55 and Nikon 10-20 mm wide angle Hmmm do I need this Lense or maybe fixed 35mm instead?

Thanks for a very informative video. Since you have both the 18-200 and 18-300, which one would you personally prefer? And also - if I may ask - is the Sony RX10 IV a better/worse option as far as image quality is concerned? Thanks so much!

Still searching for an all around extreme zoom for my Canon M50 Mark II....I love Nikon - will it work?
