Hi! How are you? I noticed that you were looking at the Nikon 18-300mm lens?
Did you have some questions about this lens today?
Will this sense work on a Nikon DSLR 300S. Also, I was just checking prices. Does this lense ever go on sale?
Will this lens.....
Courtney B
Yes, this will work well on your D300s. It's a great option for a lot of versatility!
Nikon doesn't run sales on this lens very often, unfortunately
Spring is the most likely time that it would go on sale, but that didn't happen this year
Is there a better Nikon 18-300 lens I should consider?
Courtney B
We do have it available refurbished for $599.95 if that interests you at all
Otherwise we have this version as well, which is a newer lens. it has an f/5.6 max aperture on the 300mm side, which is an improvement
But it's a lot larger and heavier
What does refurbished really mean, used, with a problem that was resolved by Nikon?
Courtney B
Not always. Sometimes it was returned to a store without all of the packaging
Other times it's overstock, or it may have never passed the inspection at the Nikon factory
So....it's a gamble as to what the issue is?
Courtney B
Well, they don't have an issue anymore. So it's not a gamble :-)
Nikon fully inspects them, repairs them if needed, and cleans them/repackages them back to new condition
Does that help a bit? They come with a 90 day warranty from Nikon USA and you can return it within 30 days for a full refund if you're unhappy for any reason
Yes, you've answered all my questions. Great job. I will bookmark Adorama and this particular lens.
Courtney B
Ok! Sounds great! :-) I'm glad that I was able to help!
Make sure to stop back in chat if you have any further questions, ok?
