Sorry to bother you but what does F mean and what does it stand for if you don't mind. Thanks again.
F mount is the Nikon connection between DSLRs and lenses. It just means this lens works on any Nikon DSLR, but on Nikon Z mirrorless cameras it'll require an adapter.

FX means full frame lens, covers the entire sensor on a full frame camera. This lens is FX. It'll work on a crop camera like D5300 it just uses the center of the lens, and the lens is much bigger and heavier than it needs to be for a crop camera.

So should I go with different lens if this is unnecessary heavy one 🤔?

I think it's rather that there's so much competition in this focal range now.

I got a Nikon 70-300 AF-P DX factory refurb for $130, and it's amazingly sharp and fast focusing. The FX version is even better. The Tamron 100-400 has less competition and is still going for MSRP.

Nikon's own 70-200 f/4 is also getting a lot cheaper especially used so tough competition in this space.
I also shoot with the 70-300 DX-P lens and it's excellent. This 70-210 is very good, but not better than the 70-300 at less than half the cost. The Tamron weighs 859g vs Nikon at 450g.

Well, as jimx said above, the 70-300 AFP is about as good for a lot less (if you can find a Nikon refurb for $130). But it's getting hard to find that price now. I don't think I'd pay MSRP for it, or $250 for the refurb which is the price I see right now.

That AFP lens requires a firmware update on your D5300 also.

The Tamron is faster at f/4, so if you're shooting outdoor sports or something that'll help when the light gets poor, and it'll have a little more subject isolation which looks better.

Not any f/4 alternatives really so if you're shooting low light outdoor sports (and need a zoom rather than a prime) it's a good choice.

I have the Canon version of this lens, its pretty good but mine wasn't well focused out of the box, had to buy the Tap-in-Console to make manual adjustments. Was kind of a pain to be honest, but if you get one that is well focused for your camera body out of the box its a very good lens, especially at this price, I paid $409 for mine.
That's the issue with DSLRs, need to calibrate the lens to body in some instances.

For mirrorless less of an issue. My EF glass works better adapted on my Sony bodies than it does on the DSLRs.

Title should say $379 (or $304 w/PayPal offer) - I thought it was stacking both.

Have you shot with the Canon 55-250? I have it on a Canon 60D and good gracious, what a fine lens and inexpensive too. I read the STM (newer version) may be slightly better. It's a must have lens for any Canon shooter and inexpensive too.

Have this lens paired with my D500, awesome bokeh and really pulls it all in with the zoom. Paid way more than this. Good deal

Just got the shipping notice. I had to cancel an earlier order to use the paypal offer and place a new one. For the second one it showed back ordered. I called them up and they happily applied the inventory from earlier order. Glad they could do it.

The Back Ordered status changed to Order In Progress so hopefully the lens will be shipping soon.
