Nikon 28-300 VR

This lens is a great walk around lens for Nikon full frame (FX) cameras such as the D700 or D3s. It's the full frame answer to Nikon's wildly popular 18-200 VR lens for DX cameras. The VR is fantastic and comes in handy at all focal lengths, especially on the long end. 

It's a great lens but NOT made for weddings as it is f/5.6 on the long end.
