Nikon AF Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6D ED - Nikon F Mount

The Nikon AF Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6D ED is a lightweight telephoto zoom lens featuring an Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element to reduce chromatic aberrations. This 'D' version provides distance information to the camera for more accurate metering. It is designed for use on Nikon DSLRs with a built-in focus motor, as it relies on a mechanical screw-drive system for autofocus. When buying used, test the autofocus speed and sound, as the screw-drive mechanism can become noisy or slow over time. We check for any play in the lens barrel when fully extended and ensure the zoom ring operates smoothly without tight spots. SDS inspects the rear element for scratches and checks the internal optics for the presence of dust or fungal growth, particularly common in older telephoto zooms.
