Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4E PF ED VR - Nikon F Mount

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4E PF ED VR is a remarkably compact telephoto lens, made possible by the use of a Phase Fresnel (PF) lens element. This design significantly reduces weight and size compared to traditional 300mm lenses. It features 4.5 stops of Vibration Reduction (VR), an electromagnetic diaphragm (E-type), and a Silent Wave Motor for fast, quiet autofocus. When buying used, it is important to test the VR system for any unusual jumping or clicking sounds during activation. The PF element can occasionally produce unique flare patterns when shooting directly into bright light sources; ensure the optics are clean to minimise this. SDS checks that the E-type diaphragm correctly communicates with compatible modern Nikon DSLRs, as it will not function on older film or early digital bodies.
