About this product
Product Information
For superior quality in any kind of photo shoot, the Nikon Nikkor AF-S 300 mm f/4.0 D IF ED Lens has become an essential ingredient in the world of photography. The Nikkor AF-S is a superb camera lens made of ED glass that is now considered a mainstay in Nikon camera equipment. When shooting through this type of lens, the chance of chromatic aberration is dramatically reduced. What this means is that when light rays hit a lens glass, there is a tendency to odd colors and images because of varying wave links filtering through the glass at the same time. Extra-low Dispersion (ED glass) can provide the clear contrast and definition that is needed for a professional quality photo, without the headaches of past solutions for glare and aberration. The Nikkor AF-S also has multi coatings of glass that helps minimize reflection while, at the same time, helping to give a wider range in color balance. These assets, combined with a feature that allows for internal focusing so that the camera lens does not have to change size, make the Nikkor AF-S a lens that is light-weight and easy to carry, while creating a superb array of photos.Product Identifiers

Perfect Lens but Plan on Replacing the Tripod Collar
Perfect with a singular exception. I luv this lens but am still healing from the shock of needing to buy a replacement collar/mount from Kirks. This lens is just a joy to use and produces impeccable images, beautiful bokeh, and is f4 fast. The AF-S design is snappy while focusing and the close focus distance is incredibly short (switchable to 3m if not close focusing to speed things up a bit). I highly recommend it with the caveat regarding the lens collar/mount. One look at the Nikon collar and it's not difficult to see the design flaw. The actual tripod mounting surface juts forward away from the load axis creating leverage resulting in the mounted lens having distinct 'shake' along the vertical axis. I can flex it between my thumb and forefinger when off the lens so there's no hope of it properly supporting the 300mm. (NOTE: This flex is due in large part to the material Nikon engineers selected for this mount. If I had to guess I'd say it's an aluminum alloy of some stripe and simply doesn't have the rigidity to support the lens with this design configuration (ie jutting forward)). The Kirk's replacement is a testimony to thorough engineering and distributes the lens weight across two support cradles (ie perfection). Just calculate the Kirk's Collar into the cost and get out to enjoy this otherwise phenomenal optical stunner from Nikon.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Nikon 300mm f4
Incredibly sharp with autofocus fast enough for sports. Only a couple of design issues, first, the tripod collar does not rotate very smoothly so when it is on your mono pod turning your camera body from landscape to portrait orientation is not an easy task. Secondly, The aperture ring at the base must be kept at F 32 to allow autofocus on modern cameras and it moves very easily so I find my hand hitting it frequently while holding the lens and knocking it out of place. Otherwise, this is an exceptional lens at a great value!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Old school but great
Great older lens, all metal, no cheap plastic, I bought the new one and it was like a cheap toy so I sold it and bought this one. I shoot rodeo and the focus on my D4S is as fast as it needs to be. Contrast and sharpness is excellent. No regrets, it is a light weight compliment to my 300 f2.8 that is just too heavy in some situations.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Sharp and fast
Sharp at all apertures. Extremely fast to focus on a Nikon Df or d600. Nice bokeh. This is a good lens for wildlife photography and portrait on a Df body if you are not after bird photography (you need a higher tele range for birding). It is easy to carry with the camera attached on a over-the-shoulder sling strap, even on a day long hike. With modern dSLRs, there is little danger of lens/camera shake if you just use 1/1000 s shutter speed. A good trick is to rest the lens on your left elbow facing forward, parallel to the ground, as your left hand grips your right shoulder--your left hand becomes "bean-bag" attached to your shoulder! :-)Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best used lens I purchase to date.
This is one of those gems within the Nikon Line-up. Fast focus, sharpe images and light enough to be hand held. I did get the tripod collar replacement with this used lens and was very pleased to have this up-grade. It is a solid piece of glass well worth the price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Lens!
We have used this lens for wildlife photo's and with some experiementing, it has taken sharp pictures! We are pleased with the results so far. It is a heavier weight than some of the newer lenses but it is worth it for the picture quality.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great fat tripod lens
Chunky lens is tack sharp at the right exposure on a tripod. I recently purchased the lens to photograph the recent eclipse. It did an amazing job. I am looking to see how it will fare on other applications.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
