The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR is a compact and lightweight telephoto prime lens designed for wildlife, sports, and portrait photography. Featuring Nikon's innovative Phase Fresnel (PF) lens element, it achieves exceptional optical performance while being significantly smaller and lighter than traditional 300mm lenses. The lens offers a constant f/4 maximum aperture, providing excellent low-light capabilities and beautiful background blur. With 4.5 stops of Vibration Reduction (VR), it enables handheld shooting at slower shutter speeds, making it ideal for tracking fast-moving subjects. The optical design includes 16 elements in 10 groups, with ED glass and Nano Crystal Coat to minimize chromatic aberration and flare. Weighing only 755g, it's highly portable and includes weather-sealing for durability in challenging conditions. The electromagnetic aperture control ensures precise exposure, and the Silent Wave Motor provides fast, quiet autofocus. This lens is perfect for photographers seeking a versatile telephoto option without the bulk of heavier alternatives.
