Excellent lens, the macro effects are outstanding, this is what I was looking for in a micro lens. I prefer to use MF on macro photography as it gives me more control of the background.

Great Lens

I got mine from WE. Pity Amazon does not stock these because they are the business. If you want a perfect image mount one of these on a sturdy tripod with a gimbal head (you'll need it because it's 2 kilos) put it on timer and use a remote.

This lens is consistent every time I use......the clarity is unbelievable. I take mostly wildlife photos and this has taken my pictures to a whole new level.

I appreciate Cameta's fast service and overall excellent service I received when I bought this!

great lens, works with my Nikon 2x teleconverter

Handling and features Performance Verdict Specification Nikon's latest flagship 300mm f/2.8 lens isn't a lens for everyone. The price of around ￡4000 means only the rich, or those who need the very best performance will be able to justify the cost.

Outstanding optical quality; Super fast focusing; Low Chromatic aberration; Low distortion; Excellent build quality

Heavy; Expensive

I bought this lens to shoot sports and events. I have found that there are situations where my 200 f2.8 just does not have the reach I need to get the shot.

Fast, responsive, VR and really not that heavy. I've used this hand held, with formal support (mono or tripod), or simply leaning on a tree, car door frame, or my knees sitting on the ground. Pairing it with a 1.4x tele still gives great results.

I struggled with the decision to buy this lens given it's hefty price tag but I have to say it is worth every penny. The sharpness is quite frankly unbelievable and although I'd read about it's fast focus it has to be seen to be believed.

This is a true high-class lens, and its versatility is amazing. It is so sharp, with such great bokeh, that you can crop butterfly images and they look better than if taken by a macro lens. You can also safely slap a 2x TC III on it, double your reach, and yet still get *outstanding*image quality.
