Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4E PF ED VR Super Telephoto Lens

Designed for F Mount, the high quality AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4E PF ED VR employs a Phase Fresnel element to reduce weight without image compromise, meaning this telephoto lens weighs a remarkable 755g.

 

This new addition to Nikon’s line-up of FX-Format lenses, is the first to be equipped with a Phase Fresnel (PF) element. Use of a Phase Fresnel lens element noticeably reduces the size and weight of the lens, while the combination of an f/4 maximum aperture, 300mm focal length, and impressive VR technology enables superb results.

• High-performance telephoto lens
• Phase Fresnel element
• Vibration Reduction (VR)
• advanced optical performance
• Electromagnetic diaphragm
• Fluorine coating
• Minimum focus distance 1.4 m
• RT-1 tripod collar ring (optional accessory)

Full Details

High-performance telephoto lens

Offers 300 mm focal length and f/4 maximum aperture. (450 mm focal length when used with a Nikon DX-format SLR.)

Phase Fresnel element

This telephoto lens delivers great optical performance and boasts a remarkably compact build. Use of a phase Fresnel (PF) lens element noticeably reduces the weight, without degrading image quality.

Vibration Reduction (VR)

With SPORT mode VR minimises the effects of camera shake and lets you shoot at shutter speeds up to 4.5 stops slower.¹ SPORT VR mode delivers a stable viewfinder image when shooting high-speed movement, and allows a continuous shooting frame rate with reduced release time lag, similar to those that are possible when VR is turned off.

Advanced optical performance

Nano Crystal Coat effectively reduces ghost and flare, increasing the clarity and contrast of images. An ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element minimises chromatic aberration.

Electromagnetic diaphragm

Enables consistent, more precise exposures, especially when shooting at high frame rates.

Fluorine coating

Actively repels water, dust, and dirt without compromising image quality. The coating enhances durability and makes it easier to clean the glass without damaging the surface.

Minimum focus distance: 1.4 m.
