Cons: cheap construction, AF may be more accurate and fast, expecially accurate.
Pros: very good image quality straight over 200mm. Many 70-300 lenses performs decent until 200mm, then lacks in quality. This Nikkor generates in every condition, excellent images. Efficient VR system, but cheaper than other Nikkor lenses.
Summary: excellent price/performance ratio. Very recommended.

Cons: Plastic mount, VR maybe not as effective as higher end VR lenses. Can produce a slight blue-tint on full zoom, easy fixed in post-processing.
Pros: Great quality for very cheap, Light, fun to use, no obvious CA or fringing
Summary: A very affordable, light-weight, no fuss tele-photo lens.
