I have to say the softness at 300 mm really bugs the heck out of me. I know I need to just pay up for the Nikon 70-300 VR but have trouble justifying it when the cheap 70-300 gets the job done well enough for most shots. That lens is so weird in that you can back off the slightest bit to 200-250 mm and see a huge increase in sharpness. The other thing that really bothers me about it are the chromatic aberrations along white edges and lines. Again, I realize it's common in cheap lenses like this but it's still annoying particularly when taking pictures of birds with white sections of feathers.</blockquote>
