Nikon AF-S 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II



Professional, fast aperture, super-telephoto lens. Incorporates Nikon`s second-generation Vibration Reduction system, and Nano Crystal coat for outstandingly sharp images, even in low-light. Boasts superb edge-to-corner sharpness, fast, quiet autofocus and a weather-sealed magnesium body to meet the demands of the most challenging professional environments.

AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II primary features

  • Built-in vibration reduction (VR II) offering camera shake compensation equivalent to a shutter speed increase of approximately 4 stops
  • The addition of A/M (autofocus with manual override; AF priority) focus mode prevents accidental switching from autofocus to manual focus.  Along with M/A (autofocus with manual override; manual priority) mode, which enables manual focusing by rotating the focus ring while autofocus is operating and M (manual) mode, this makes for a total of three focus modes.
  • The lens optics and Nano Crystal Coat so well received with previous lenses have been adopted without modification
