Excellent, very sharp and exceeds my expectations
I bought this to use with a Nikon 1 V3 and the FT-1 adapter. This lens is a great value and exceeded my expectations for sharpness. I also have the CX 70-300mm which is slightly sharper. However, with modern image processing software, the AF-P DX 70-300mm is excellent. The AF-P DX appears to have better optical image stabilization than the CX version.
I bought this lens to future proof my fun little Nikon 1 cameras (which, together with their lenses, were discontinued by Nikon). The cameras and the CX lenses are great but many CX lenses tend to eventually die, apparently due to use of a tiny nylon gear inside that eventually wears out. While my CX lens version continues to work, I'll use this one on a 2nd body. And when the CX lens dies (as it may do), I'll just keep shooting with this AF-P lens. Very pleased with the AF-P lens.
