Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Gasp...me using a superzoom.....I have been playing with this new lens for work. Putting it through it's paces. Although I dislike superzoom lenses I have found the focal range to be very useful and the image stabilisation in this lens to be very powerful.

As a bonus I discovered that the D80 can be usable at 1600 ISO and 3200 ISO (under the right conditions...but then it may have been the superzoom affecting me)

I had the previous version of this lens for about a week when I first bought my D90 (waiting from my 18-200 to arrive) and I was very happy with it.

im glad you posted about this lens!

i have been looking at upgrading my 18-105mm kit lens from the D90 for one of these.

i have been looking around at the 28-300mm VR nikkor lens.

This new version is smaller, lighter and a joy to use. It could do with full time manual focus override though.

I would be more inclined to get this lens than a 28-300 VR as this will still leave you with wide angle abilities, and will be much better balanced on the D90.
