Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF-ED

 

Primarily purchased as a ‘with minimum compromise' telephoto lens for wildlife photography, after years of being ultimately disappointed by the performance of 70-300 f.4-5.6-type lenses when compared to my prime wide-angle and medium-range telephoto...

Pretty much everything, see above

Great For Birds & Other Wildlife

 

I've taken some stunning photos of birds with this lens. It would be great if the lens had a larger aperture, but then the price would shoot up. Make sure you have a good, solid tripod.

Great Lense

 

This is a great lense, fast focusing and Image Quality is also very well rounded. Also add a 1.4 Extender or 1.7 and reach out a little further for some good wildlife shots.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF-ED

 

Nikon introduced the AF-S 300/4 lens in 2001, thus replacing the glorious AF ED 300/4 IF. The new lens has some interesting features, which allow to consider it, at least in my opinion, as a real improvement on the previous model. Such features are:-...

Sharpness & contrast. Good quality with 1.4 X TCs

Price, considering that the lens does not have VR feature

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF-ED

 

This lens is super sharp and super fast focusing. The only lens in this range that I would consider optically better(for Nikon) is the 300mm 2.8AF-S. This being true, I believe with all my heart that the 300mm f/4 AF-S is a BETTER lens. Now before you...

Sharp, fast focus, light. relatively cheap

The resale value if and when nikon releases a VR model

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF-ED

 

A fantastic lens. I have used it with a Tamron SP AF 1.4 converter and the Kenko autofocus extension tubes with great results. This lens focuses close by itself and with addition of either the 1.4 converter or the Kenko extension tubes,it makes a...

Very sharp, fast & quiet autofocus, well built

As others have noted the tripod collar isn''t as smooth as on other Nikon lens but I can live it
