The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR Telegraphs exceptional reach with a design that is considerably lighter and more compact than its predecessors, thanks to the innovative Phase Fresnel element. Along with the element, the lens incorporates an extra-low dispersion glass that minimizes chromatic aberrations and color fringing, enhancing clarity and color fidelity. Optimal image quality is further ensured by Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings to control lens flare and ghosting, and a fluorine coating that protects against dust and moisture.

Autofocus is powered by a Silent Wave Motor delivering quick, quiet, and precise focusing, essential for both images and video. Manual focus override is also available for finer control. The Vibration Reduction (VR) feature helps to produce sharper images by offsetting camera movements, and an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism ensures consistent exposure during rapid shooting.

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR is a high-performance telephoto lens designed for Nikon F-mount cameras. It features a compact and lightweight design, thanks to the Phase Fresnel (PF) element, and offers superior image quality with reduced chromatic aberration. The lens includes Vibration Reduction (VR) technology for stable handheld shooting and is ideal for wildlife, sports, and travel photography.

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR is a **prime** telephoto lens with a fixed **300mm** focal length, designed for **Nikon F mount** DSLR cameras with **full-frame** sensor coverage. Its maximum aperture of **f/4** provides a consistent exposure baseline across any shooting situation, and the built-in **optical image stabilization** helps maintain sharpness during handheld use at telephoto distances. The lens supports both **autofocus and manual focus**, giving photographers direct control over how they acquire and adjust focus for different subjects. A **77mm filter thread** makes it straightforward to attach polarizers or neutral density filters from most standard filter systems. Weighing **755g**, it sits in a practical weight class for a full-frame 300mm prime, reducing fatigue compared to larger super-telephoto options. Whether used for wildlife, action, or portraiture, this lens offers a focused optical solution for F-mount shooters who want a dedicated telephoto prime rather than a zoom covering the same range.

A Phase Fresnel lens element dramatically reduces the size and weight compared to conventional 300mm f/4 primes, making this one of the most compact telephoto options in its class.

Phase Fresnel (PF) Element

Fixed 300mm focal length with a maximum aperture of f/4 provides a consistent telephoto perspective optimized for wildlife, sports, and portrait shooting.

300mm f/4 Prime

Vibration Reduction (VR)

Fluorine Coating

Designed for full-frame Nikon F mount DSLRs and also compatible with APS-C bodies, where it provides an equivalent 450mm field of view.

Nikon F Mount, Full-Frame

Nikon's Silent Wave Motor delivers fast, quiet autofocus well-suited to wildlife and sports shooting where noise and speed both matter.

AF-S Silent Wave Motor

At just 755g, this 300mm prime is significantly lighter than traditional designs, reducing fatigue during extended handheld or travel use.

Lightweight at 755g

The 77mm filter thread is one of the most widely used sizes, making it straightforward to pair with existing polarizers, ND filters, and other accessories.
