Does this lens "open up" like the 10-30, 30-110 etc to oprat?

No , it's a fixed lens and have no moving parts . It's a Great lens on any Nikon one camera .
570724
No, it does not, which I consider a plus as it makes shooting the first shot easier and faster.

Not quite sure what "oprat" means. It's a fast lensvthat has a fixed focal point.... Very wide angle.
570726
No; it's a very small "pancake" lens that's got a fixed optical length; no zooming required. Always ready to go. Nothing moves on the lens exterior when it's operating or waking up.

I have one of these on the 18-55mm lens that came with my wifes D3000 and I believe it is the same lens you listed above.

You can hold one in front of the lens but not screw anything on it. Don't forget it opens at F8 that's not so clear.

Yes and it is a great lens. All that it should be. A little heavy but it is an f2.8 so you need to expect that. I also have the 100-300 which is phenominal for the price. I have killer bird shots with it.

Yes, it will. We just bought the 30-110mm lens and the zoom is now much better. Takes a little getting used to changing the lens.

Yes it does. Not the highest quality accessories though. But the lens itself has exceeded my expectations, very very good for the price.

Yes. This is a wonderfully sharp lens for ultra close up work. I use it on my K3 but it will work fine on your K30.

I wouldn't do this. 17-70 is a nice lens, but not very sharp, especially wide open. This is nice replacement for the kit lens and not much more.

No, but you can get an identical third party one for about $5 by searching amazon and/or eBay. You can't beat this lense for the $. Mine was better than expected at 300mm.

Haven't used the 10-30 so I can't compare. I have both the 10mm & 18mm prime lenses which I use most of the time and much prefer (on the V1 body). Im actually looking to sell my 11-27.5 as I rarely use it.

No, it does not. I prefer the lower weight of a non-IS lens, and for doing high school sports (including night football), IS would be totally useless to me.

Yes. They are about the same although you lose a stop of aperture with the 70-300. The maximum aperture is f/5.6 instead of f/4. The 70-300 lens is only f/4 near the 70mm end. Otherwise, optically in terms of sharpness, it's about the same.

YES, IT DOES. There are 2 small screws on either side of the lens. Loosen, tilt, tighten.

Yes, the lens is compatible with the K-30. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

There is definitely no problem with the opening and closing of the lens nor other problems. This is a wonderfully useful filter and I do suggest you to get one for any of your pocket cameras. It is also very easy to install.

No, the one for the 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G lens is the HB-57, it's has a little larger opening than the 55-200 (I own both lenses).
