I use the 18-300 on a D500 and once in while on a D7200. I find that it works well as a walk around for the type of photos I take.
Not a pro, just take pics.


Not a pro here also, thank you.

It is a fine lens, particularly for $700. I will be traveling in France in March with one.


Hope we have good weather, thank you.

Just something to consider: I have toured five countries in Europe. Mostly in the cities all the usual tourist stops along the way. I think you will find that long focal length lenses is not where the emphasis should be. A moderate length zoom will be all that is necessary and the wide end of your lens will get way more use than the long. I like my 24-120 a lot but something a little wider would be even better for indoor shots of cathedrals, museums, etc. Have a great trip!


Hoping for an awesome trip :-) thank you.

I shoot a D 500 and have the 18 to 300-3.5 to 5.6 And That is a good price however I also for a brief time owned the 18 to 200 2.8 And found it to be much quicker and clear but also much more expensive. And traded it for the 18 to 300 because I prefer the reach and shoot primarily outside daylight and want to be able to catch a bird or two. But have to admit when I had the 18 to 200 it was Faster and did have better IQ just depends on your budget and what you will be shooting.


Shooting typical tourist stuff, lol. Leaning tower Pizza, Coliseum, Vatican, and more. Thank you

In the cramped streets of Europe you will definitely need something wider. 27mm FF equivalent on a DX will be very restrictive. Consider the new 10-20mm DX - very lightweight and ideal for buildings, churches, etc. My 2c.
