Like many photographers I like to take photos of any type of nature and this is often helped by the use of a longer lens. I use the Nikon 300 F4 with 1.4 and 1.7 tele-converters. It is the best options for me based on budget available, for what is...

Stunned by this lens for the price, well worth the wait. Shooting always with F2.8 lenses normally (although shorter) I was slightly apprehensive about purchasing this. Very glad I did. The VR on this less is astounding. For example the attached photo...

bit worried when I saw the price thinking what have they cut out , but on using this lens fantastic sharp fast well made and good price well done
