Honestly, I did not get the WAO factor I was expecting on my first shots with this lens.Perhaps my expectations were set too high. It was a perfect overcast day but no birds.So I focussed on the backs of trees.

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, works with my Nikon 2x teleconverter

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!

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.

I put off buying this lens for sometime time simply because of the price tag. I finally made the purchase and honestly cant believe how great this lens is. Even with the 1.4 converter this lens is razor sharp. Absolutely a must for anyone who shoots sports.

Great Lens

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.

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
