Expanding the horizons of the 300mm focal length, this is the world's lightest lens body, a first for NIKKOR, featuring a PF lens. Significant weight and compactness have resulted in the world's lightest*1 lens body. Compared to the previous model*2, it weighs approximately 545g, a reduction of approximately 42%, and its overall length (from the lens mount reference plane to the tip of the lens) is approximately 75mm shorter, while its maximum diameter is approximately 1mm shorter. Despite its 300mm focal length, this telephoto lens offers exceptional portability and allows for agile handheld shooting. Its applications are vastly expanded, from mountain and sports scenes to urban portraits and snapshots. *1 As of January 6, 2015, this lens is an autofocus (AF) prime lens for FX-format digital SLR cameras. Researched by Nikon. *2 Compared to the AI ​​AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF-ED, released in September 2000, with the tripod mount removed. When set to "DX 1.3x crop," the focal length is equivalent to a 585mm focal length. When shooting in DX format, the focal length is equivalent to a 450mm focal length lens in 35mm format, allowing for easy super-telephoto photography. When set to the "DX 1.3x crop" image area on the Nikon D7100, the lens offers a field of view equivalent to a 585mm focal length lens in 35mm format. Furthermore, when combined with the AF-S TELECONVERTER TC-14E ​​III (sold separately), it enables true super-telephoto photography, achieving a field of view equivalent to an 819mm focal length lens in 35mm format. A 4.5-stop VR mechanism provides powerful support for telephoto photography. This lens features a VR mechanism not available in previous models. It effectively reduces not only the image blur caused by camera shake, which is common with telephoto photography, but also blur in the viewfinder. (Compared to the AI ​​AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF-ED, released in September 2000.) Nano Crystal Coat delivers clear, ghost-reduced images. Nikon's proprietary Nano Crystal Coat, trusted by many professionals, provides exceptional anti-reflection performance across the entire visible light spectrum, effectively reducing ghosting in backlit situations. By consistently delivering clear images, you can enjoy creating professional-quality works in a variety of shooting situations.
