The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4D IF-ED is a compact telephoto prime lens combining a substantial focal reach with a relatively lightweight design. An aperture setting of f/4 provides a balance of image brightness and lens size, suitable for handheld shooting. Its optical construction includes two extra-low dispersion glass elements, enhancing color fidelity and sharpness by curtailing chromatic aberrations. Additionally, flare and ghosting are minimized through a Super Integrated Coating, optimizing image contrast even in bright lighting. The Silent Wave Motor delivers fast and quiet autofocus, ideal for snapping rapidly moving subjects.
