Nikon AF-S VR NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED -- The Professional Lens

Nikon Corporation is a Japanese multinational company with its headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. They are specialists in imaging and optical products. They also produce cameras, binoculars, microscopes and steppers used in photolithography. Nikon introduced a high speed super-telephoto lens called AF-S VR NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED.

The dimension of the lens is 124 x 268 mm (4.9 x 10.6 in). The lens gets constructed with a combination of 11 elements in eight groups with three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements. The focal length of the lens is 300 mm. The maximum and minimum apertures of the lens are f/2.8 and f/22 respectively. The minimum focus distance is 2.2 m (7.2 ft, 86.6 inches). The maximum reproduction ratio of the lens is 1:6.1 (0.16x). The lens includes a filter sized 52 mm.

AF-S VR NIKKOR has a telephoto lens system. The minimum focus range is 2.2 m. The lens can be mounted on a Nikon F mount and the maximum angle of view offered by the lens is 8.2 degrees. It includes a feature called Vibration Reduction (VR) technology. This reduces the camera shake and produce sharp pictures even in low light conditions and at shutter speeds at three stops slower. The normal mode compensates the camera shake even when panning. The active mode reduces the vibrations effectively while shooting from a moving vehicle. The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) of Nikon gives fast autofocusing operation without any difficulty. The lens offers high optical performance and it is compatible with both 35 mm and digital SLR (Single Lens Reflex) cameras.

AF-S VR NIKKOR contains a nano-crystal coating which overcomes the ghosts and flares nicely and provides clear and excellent images while shooting under the powerful sunlight. This NIKKOR lens has a meniscus protective glass element. It overcomes the internal reflections from digital imaging sensor brilliantly. The focus mode switch is available on the side of the lens which helps to change the situations between manual priority autofocus (M/A) and manual focus (M) modes. The AF operation switch makes the selection of settings very easy. The lens mount is fitted with a rubber ring which resists the incoming dusts and drops of water.

The accessories included with this lens are front cap, rear cap (LF-1), strap (LN-1), hood (HK-30), semi soft case (CL-L2) and filter holder (with 52 mm NC). The optional accessories are teleconverters (TC-14E II, TC-17E II, and TC-20E II), slip-in gelatin filter holder and circular polarizing filter (C-PL2L). The lens weighs 2.85 kg (100.53 ounces). It delivers quality sports and action photography. AF-S VR NIKKOR 300mm lens is suitable for all professional photographers.
