Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR Lens (USED)

Remarkable Reach in a Revolutionary Compact Design

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR is a game-changing telephoto prime that defies the traditional size and weight of its class. By utilizing Phase Fresnel (PF) lens elements, Nikon has engineered a lens that is nearly 30% shorter and 1.5 lbs lighter than its predecessor. This makes it an indispensable tool for wildlife, sports, and travel photographers who need professional-grade reach and sharpness without the burden of a massive lens. Whether you are trekking through the Pacific Northwest or shooting from the sidelines, this lens delivers stunning performance in a handheld-friendly form factor.

Phase Fresnel Technology and Superior Optics

The standout feature of this lens is the Phase Fresnel element, which significantly reduces chromatic aberration and ghosting while allowing for a much smaller physical footprint. Combined with Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass and Nano Crystal Coat, the 300mm f/4E PF ED VR produces high-contrast images with exceptional clarity across the entire frame. The constant f/4 maximum aperture provides beautiful background blur (bokeh) and reliable performance in challenging lighting conditions.

Steady Shots with Advanced Vibration Reduction

Capture crisp images even when shooting handheld. Nikon’s Vibration Reduction (VR) technology provides up to 4.5 stops of image stabilization, effectively compensating for camera shake. This is particularly useful for the "Sport VR" mode, which offers a stable viewfinder image when tracking fast-moving subjects like birds in flight or athletes on the move. Coupled with the Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for ultra-fast, near-silent autofocus, this lens ensures you never miss the decisive moment.

Rugged Build for Professional Demands

Designed to withstand the rigors of professional use, this used copy is in good condition and features a weather-sealed barrel. The inclusion of a tripod foot provides added stability when using a monopod or tripod, while the fluorine coating on the front element makes it easy to wipe away dust and moisture. This lens is a perfect match for Nikon’s high-resolution DSLRs and performs beautifully on Z-series mirrorless cameras via the FTZ adapter.
