Mine is fine.
It's not the sharpest glass I own at the long focal lengths, but it's good for casual shots. I do use other lenses for important shots, but the 28-300 gets a lot of use generally.

Understand. I have this lens. I use it on my D7200 for video. I often have shadows on the edges at 28mm.
Makes me wonder which 28-300 you use.

There are settings to reduce this also.
Yes and they reeeeeally work !
If you see vignetting check the menus.

Acoarst. APSC eliminates vignetting.
Yet previous poster experienced vignetting w/7200 which is.... APSC, no?

Peripheral to this exact post. I have a Nikkor 28 - 300 lens I just bought an adapter to test the lens on my Sony ar7 IV. There is no vignetting and I never have noticed .I don't use lens hood but I almost always heavily crop. But I did notice that despite the adapter working well I now don't like this lens. Maybe spoiled by my new Sony 200 - 600 lens. Am not sure. The pictures are not razor sharp although the auto focus and tracking seem to be working. Still testing adapter and lens but right now it looks like I will send back the adapter and save up for a Sony 28 - 105 f2.8 lens . Any comments on this lens. I will use it for flowers and bugs and landscapes and my Sony 200 600 for birds.

Wouldn't recommend the 28-300 for detailed work (flowers & bugs). I thought this lens was great, until I got better lenses. Now I only use it for casual walk-about. Your results- like your copy of the lens- may vary.

I've used this lens extensively on my D700, D800, and D850. It's an excellent lens and I have no complaints regarding either image quality or vignetting. I use it with the supplied lens hood and, usually, with a UV filter attached.

I noticed that too. Seems like pure UHH.
My 28-300 is just fine on FX. If someone gets "shadows" on the edges using it for DX the lens is NOT the problem. Thaz as politely as I can put it.
For all we can tell that person is using an 18-200 and thinks its a 28-300. Its just a random nonsensical post. Having no other info, I 100% discount it. What if someone posted that their camera becomes noisier and noisier the more they lower the ISO ?

No it is a 28 to 300 and she is using the Nikon 750. I am waiting for her to send me some samples. She also has to go to menus to make sure the vignetting is turned off I will keep you informed

Good to hear. Hopefully one of you will share the results of the investigation and not leave the rest of us to argue ourselves to death!
