Exceptional lens - tack sharp focus and considerably lighter than other 300mm or similarly sized lenses. Hand-held works well. Great birding and landscape lens. Speed of order processing, shipping and delivery by Crutchfield second to none.

Chances are if you take a poll of what photographers picked for their first telephoto lens, it would be the 300mm. For one thing, it's a good choice for those starting out in wildlife or sports photography and, given the nature of millimeters, it's relatively inexpensive as compared to the big guns...

I do not think lenses can get any better than this one. Outstanding performer, razor sharp even with the TC-14E III 1.4x tele extender. The VR is also very efficient even with the extender.

Normally buy from Wex but on this occasion went elsewhere due to lower price, sorry Wex. This lens is one of the best buys I've made in some time, it is light, very light and small for a 300mm and yes I know its an f4 but for someone who used to lug a 300mm f2.8 about this lens is a revelation.

Consistent Output; Lightweight; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus

Weak Casing

This lens is always in my bag with the TC-14EIII teleconverter.

Extremely sharp Fast and accurate auto focus Very portable Feels professional (except for lens hood) VR works great on D750 and D7200

Could have better color / contrast Some ghosting when shooting into bright lights Some aberrations when paired with teleconverters

Great lens for bird photography - light to hold and tack sharp; creates a nice bokeh. Great when used on a dx Nikon camera.

Introducing a thrilling new 300mm f/4 prime lens capable of changing the way pro and serious enthusiasts shoot. At just 147.5mm long and 755g-over 30% shorter and 1.5lbs lighter than its predecessor-the AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR is the world's lightest 300mm full-frame AF lens.

My passion is wildlife photography and in particular birds and birds in flight. I was looking for a setup that was light and nimble for walking long distance and times when I just wanted a smaller profile. The Nikon 300 f/4E PF pared with the Nikon D7200 does that and more.

Great product. https://www.walsallroofingpros.com
