Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II

 

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II is a big, expensive telephoto lens with a bright aperture and the superb build that working professionals demand.

Wide aperture. Quite sharp. Minimal distortion. Rear filter support. Pro-grade build. Rotating tripod collar. Focus hold and memory functions. Teleconverter compatibility.

Heavy. Pricey. Vignette at f/2.8.

Yes it is heavy and certainly not for long periods of hand held shooting. But on a tripod the detail and accuracy are fantastic and the focus speed is lightning fast. I use this on a D810 with and without the TC-20E converter and have been stunned with...

I would recommend this product.

 

Used to get clear sharp images of wildlife, especially birds in flight. The only negative comment is how very heavy the lens is.

I struggled with the decision to buy this lens given it\'s hefty price tag but I have to say it is worth every penny. The sharpness is quite frankly unbelievable and although I\'d read about it\'s fast focus it has to be seen to be believed. I\'ve...
