I'm using this new lens on a Nikon D5300 with the latest firmware update and everything works just fine. When attached to the D5300 camera, a new menu appears that controls the VR from the camera as there are no physical switches on the lens itself.
I like it because it has vibration reduction (VR) so photos come out sharp when hand-held. It's also light weight, quiet and has fast focus. The photos look good. This is a useful lens for indoors - to catch everything inside a room - and for outdoors for those deep, wide scenic shots. One of the best things about this lens is it allows me to have a quality, true wide-angle lens at an affordable price. It comes with a US warrantee, front and rear lens caps, front lens hood and a soft carrying bag. Hats off to Amazon who delivered this lens just 20 hours after purchase.

Life from a New PerspectiveUltra-wide-angle Views and Close Focusing. With an ultra-wide-angle view that surpasses any kit lens, the AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR lets you play with composition in a new way—foreground, middle ground, background, symmetry, patterns, lines, dramatic skies and more. Get as close as 0.8 feet from your subject to create photos and videos with dramatic leading lines or to capture tight interior spaces with ease. |
Small in Size, Big in QualityDespite its super compact, lightweight design, the AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR delivers huge performance. Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization ensures sharper handheld photos and videos and lets you use a slower shutter speed for brighter photos in low light. Three Aspherical (AS) Lens Elements nearly eliminates naturally occurring distortion and contributes to the lens' lightweight, compact design. Super Integrated Coating (SIC) cuts through ghosting and lens flare in backlit or cross-lit situations; retains maximum color and contrast. A 7-blade aperture design gives your photo and video backgrounds a beautifully soft, round blurring effect. |
Do Not DisturbNear-silent, Fast Autofocus Stepping Motor. The AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR focuses like a dream. When shooting video, its smooth stepping motor keeps focusing noise to a minimum. If you need to make adjustments, you’ll appreciate the silky smooth manual operation. To eliminate unintentional changes to the VR ON/OFF and AF/MF settings, those controls have been moved to the camera menu, and their status can be easily verified in your camera’s information display. |

Great DX (APSC) lens for the price!
I'm a hobbyist in photography and this is my first ultra wide angle lens. It took me some time to learn how to use ultra wide lens but I absolutely love this lens. For around $300 it gives me great images and a lot of fun to use.Pros:- Optically superb, very sharp in landscape photography- Fast and accurate auto focus thanks to the newer AF-P motor- Smooth and quiet auto focus (compared to AF-S lenses)- Close focusing distance- Light weight and small size- Lens hood includedNo real cons for me but there are some limitations:- Maximum aperture F/4.5-5.6, which is not good for low light, indoor, and astro photography.- When using the built-in flash on my D5500, shooting at 10 mm there is a shadow of the lens in the imageOther notes:- Unless you need to photograph people in low light or you want to do astro photograph, the small aperture will do just fine.- I didn't use this lens extensively until I went on a family trip recently; Admittedly I have trouble in composition as the angle of view is too wide in some cases.- I learned to get closer and take advantage of the close focus distance, then I started to really appreciate this little gem.

I'm a hobbyist in photography and this is my first ultra wide angle lens. It took me some time to learn how to use ultra wide lens but I absolutely love this lens. For around $300 it gives me great images and a lot of fun to use.
Pros:
- Optically superb, very sharp in landscape photography
- Fast and accurate auto focus thanks to the newer AF-P motor
- Smooth and quiet auto focus (compared to AF-S lenses)
- Close focusing distance
- Light weight and small size
- Lens hood included
No real cons for me but there are some limitations:
- Maximum aperture F/4.5-5.6, which is not good for low light, indoor, and astro photography.
- When using the built-in flash on my D5500, shooting at 10 mm there is a shadow of the lens in the image
Other notes:
- Unless you need to photograph people in low light or you want to do astro photograph, the small aperture will do just fine.
- I didn't use this lens extensively until I went on a family trip recently; Admittedly I have trouble in composition as the angle of view is too wide in some cases.
- I learned to get closer and take advantage of the close focus distance, then I started to really appreciate this little gem.

I also do a lot of panoramic photography in which I may take 5-10 shots and sew them together in photoshop, this lens has given me the ability to take 2-3 photos and sew them instead of 6-7. Or just take 1 instead of sewing 2-3 together.
I also find the distortion at the 10 setting visually attractive when shooting large buildings or vehicles, it give them a larger than life feel.
Optics are wonderful, crisp and auto focus is quick and accurate.
The lens hood is nice but basic, but be careful you cannot use the built in flash with it, it will create a shadow (same issue with many Lens hoods)

Can't back up? This is the lens for you. Great Optics, very practical IMO..

I have had this lens for about 2 months now, I mainly do construction photography, and I am very happy with the results of the few hundred photos I have taken with it. I have a crop sensor D5500 and I do a lot of indoor photography for work and pleasure. This lens at the 20 mm setting is significantly wider than my standard kit 18-55mm lens at the 18 setting. So if you are in an environment where backing up isn't an option this lens is an ideal choice.Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2018
