Which to keep, the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6g VR or Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G

1 year 9 months ago #740245 by iKokomo
I have been in the Nikon world for a while and have amassed a large collection of Nikon lenses (either bought or received free via kit lenses).I have both a Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6g ed if af-s vr as well as a Nikon AF-S FX 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED vr.

Is there much difference optically between these two, or should I just sell the 70-300 as the 28-300 covers that focal length and more?

What is the advantage of one over the other?Thanks! :)

Keep the 28-300mm because it's more versatile travel lens, plus the 70-300G isn't as good as the newer AF-P 70-300E. I use the later and it's a very sharp.

Ken Rockwell's most used DSLR lens is the 28-300 and he says it's very sharp.
