Nikon 300mm AF-S f/4 D IF-ED

The Nikon compact 300mm telephoto lens combines superior optical performance and swift autofocus operation with portability, making it ideal for action/sports photography and general photographic applications.Nikon's exclusive built-in Silent Wave Motor, a key feature of the new lens, ensures fast, quiet autofocus operation. The incorporation of ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements in a new optical design also contributes to the high optical performance of the f/4D IF-ED lens. And the new lens is designed to be usable with the AF-I Teleconverter TC-14E attached, enabling 420mm supertelephoto photography while maintaining superior optical quality.While the lens has been designed for maximum autofocus performance, it can also be used as a manual focus lens with other Nikon SLR models. The advanced M/A mode lets you switch quickly from automatic to manual focusing, even during AF servo operation, with virtually no time lag. Furthermore, manual focusing operation consumes no power.This new lens represents a significant addition to the AF-S Nikkor lens lineup, enabling photographers to shoot in a broader range of situations.Major Features:Nikon's exclusive Silent Wave Motor enables swift autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and powerful, super-quiet operationNewly designed optical system ensures superior optical performanceDesigned to deliver high optical performance even with AF-I teleconverter attachedTwo ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glasses minimise chromatic aberration, provide higher resolution and superior contrastHigh-performance Nikon Super Integrated Coating enables superior colour reproduction while minimising ghosts and flareRounded diaphragm opening (9 blades) makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural1.45m closest focusing distanceIF (Internal Focusing) ensures fast AF operation and closer focusing distanceM/A mode enables instant switching from autofocus to manual focus, even during AF servo operation, with virtually no time lagNew easy-to-use design with simulated leather finish for superior gripEasy, smooth manual focusing operationSimulated leather finish for superior gripNo power required for manual focusing operationFilter attachment does not rotate during focusingBuilt-in lens hood effectively minimises stray lightDust- and water drop-resistant designDetachable tripod mounting foot providedLens case CL-M2 providedSpecifications:Focal length: 300mmMaximum aperture: f/4Lens construction: 10 elements in 6 groups (including two ED glass elements)Picture angle: 8°10'Focus distance: 1.45m to infinityMax. reproduction ratio: 1/3.7Aperture scale: f/4 to f/32Attachment size: 77mmDimensions: Approx. 90mm dia. x 222.5mmWeight: Approx. 1,440g (1,300g without tripod mounting foot)
