    Verified Purchase
    I have been looking for a new lens for my wildlife shooting. I already have the Tamron 150-600mm lens and does really well in good light, but very large as expected. This prime Nikon 300mm F4 PF lens was a shocking change, and I must say a pleasant one. This thing is even smaller than my 24-70mm lens, and a telephoto lens that is extremely sharp, something I have been looking forward to. The focusing ans SWM is very fast in even average light. In low light and depending on which focus mode you have can hunt, but again that is to be expected in AF-C mode. This lens in light, and pulls things up close and clear. I will keep this lens on my 750, or 610, or my 7100. Way to go Nikon!

    Reviewed in India on April 19, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    It’s lightweight for its focal length. Very sharp. Nikon’s TC-14E iii (with loss of one stop transmission) works smoothly. Excellent for normal zoom, superior IQ than zoom super telephoto lenses with DX mode which are much heavier.
    It’s probably the only telephoto prime from Nikon which has best value for money.

    I bought this lens as a lightweight alternative to a f/2.8 300mm Nikkor lens that I have used routinely for bird photography over the last few years. This purchase was made following a recent Antarctic cruise, during which I saw a fellow birder producing great photos without the chore having to carrying a heavy-weight lens around! I have been really impressed with the results so far. This is clearly a high performance lens with excellent auto-focus and vibration reduction capabilities, greatly enabling the tracking of and focusing on birds in flight. Importantly, it works seamlessly with the TC-1.4E III teleconverter (aperture reduced to f/5.6) that I had already, with no obvious performance impairment. I cannot wait to use it on an upcoming trip to Iceland. The big decision now is whether or not to keep my heavy F/2.8 300mm lens; its so easy to carry around the 300mm PF! The use of a tripod collar ring is to be recommended (but Nikon-branded expensive).

I have been really impressed with the results so far. This is clearly a high performance lens with excellent auto-focus and vibration reduction capabilities, greatly enabling the tracking of and focusing on birds in flight. Importantly, it works seamlessly with the TC-1.4E III teleconverter (aperture reduced to f/5.6) that I had already, with no obvious performance impairment. I cannot wait to use it on an upcoming trip to Iceland. The big decision now is whether or not to keep my heavy F/2.8 300mm lens; its so easy to carry around the 300mm PF! The use of a tripod collar ring is to be recommended (but Nikon-branded expensive).

    This lens has lived up to expectations. It is much smaller and lighter than my other Nikon 300mm f4 lens, and at least as sharp. The VR is also helpful. It is much easier to carry and aim at birds before they fly off or when they fly over.

    Je ne m'attendais pas à pareille qualité ! Léger pour un 300mm, court et d'une netteté incroyable. Rien à voir avec le 150-600mm dont les qualités s'effondrent après 400mm et qui pèse plus du double.

    El precio es elevado pero la portabilidad y calidad de imagen lo valen. El 300mm f2.8 tiene marginalmente mejor calidad de imagen pero al triple de precio y 4 veces el peso.
