Unmatched Performance in a Compact Build

The Nikon 300mm F4 PF ED VR telephoto lens offers the perfect balance of portability and performance. Weighing just 755g, it's 30% shorter and significantly lighter than its predecessor, making it an ideal travel companion. Whether you're shooting fast-paced sports, distant wildlife, or detailed portraits, the lens delivers superb sharpness, contrast, and colour reproduction in a compact form factor.

The Phase Fresnel (PF) element minimises the number of lens elements required, effectively reducing both the size and weight of the lens while still providing high-quality results. This innovative design makes it easier than ever to carry a telephoto lens without sacrificing performance, making it an excellent choice for photographers on the move.

Superior Image Quality and Precision

Thanks to Nikon's ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass elements and Nano Crystal Coat, this lens offers outstanding sharpness and minimal chromatic aberrations, even when shooting at wide-open apertures. Ghosting and flare are greatly reduced, ensuring clear, high-contrast images in a wide range of lighting situations.

With its fast f/4 maximum aperture, this lens delivers beautiful subject-background separation (bokeh) while maintaining excellent low-light performance. The PF element enhances clarity and reduces chromatic aberrations, ensuring crisp and sharp results even in challenging conditions.

Vibration Reduction with Sport Mode

Nikon’s renowned Vibration Reduction (VR) technology allows for handheld shooting at up to 4.5 stops slower than normal, making it easier to capture sharp images in low light or at longer focal lengths. The VR system features both Sport Mode for tracking fast-moving subjects and Tripod Mode for improved stability during stationary shots. This makes the Nikon 300mm F4 PF ED VR ideal for wildlife and sports photographers who need flexibility and precision in capturing action shots.

Built for Durability and Easy Maintenance

Designed for use in various weather conditions, the Nikon 300mm F4 PF ED VR features a fluorine coating that repels water, dust, and dirt, ensuring durability in harsh environments. The lens is easy to clean, and the fluorine coating helps protect the glass surface without damaging it, making it a reliable companion in rugged shooting conditions.

Versatile Focus Modes

The lens is equipped with three focus modes for ultimate flexibility: A/M (autofocus priority even when the focus ring is in use), M/A (instant switching from autofocus to manual focus), and M (full manual). This ensures fast, smooth, and precise focusing, ideal for situations where timing is crucial.

Accessories Included

The Nikon 300mm F4 PF ED VR comes with the HB-73 Lens Hood and CL-M3 Lens Case for safe storage and transport. Additionally, the optional RT-1 Tripod Collar Ring enables smooth rotation between vertical and horizontal shooting when using a tripod, offering better balance and easy transitions.
