AF-S VR Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED, a new high speed super-telephoto professional lens for Nikon digital SLR and 35mm SLR cameras; now with Vibration Reduction (VR) technology, focus preset functions, Meniscus front element; and is the first Nikkor lens to feature Nikon's Nano-Crystal AR (anti-reflective) coat, all to enhance your ability to deliver great professional quality sports and action photography.

High speed super-telephoto lens for Nikon digital SLR and 35mm SLR cameras with fast handling, fast operation and outstanding optical performance.
Vibration Reduction (VR) technology compensates for typical camera shake and extends your ability to shoot at shutter speeds that are up to three-stops slower than would be possible with a lens without VR technology. Nikon VR technology automatically detects panning action, and with Active Mode selected you can enhance your ability to shoot from unsteady platforms such as moving cars or aircraft. VR On/Off mode allows conservation of battery power.
Three Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements effectively diminish secondary chromatic aberrations while retaining ruggedness and durability associated with glass elements.
Nikon?s New Super Integrated Coating, complimented by Nikon Nano-Crystal AR coat, further minimizes ghost and flare to provide even higher contrast, and more vivid images, even in challenging light conditions.
Nikon's exclusive Silent Wave Motor enables ultra-high speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and super-quiet operation.
Internal Focusing (IF) design provides smoother, lighter and faster focusing and helps improve the lens? overall balance and handling characteristics.
Meniscus protective glass element protects the lens? front optical surface and also helps to eliminate potential internal reflection off a digital SLR?s sensor.
Focus Mode switch enables quick-switching between M/A (Manual-Priority Autofocus) and M (Manual Focus).
Focus Preset function instantly recalls a preset focal point.
Focus Limiter switch limits AF-servo movement to a selected shooting distance range.
Compatible with Nikon TC-17EII (1.7x), TC-14EII (1.4x), and TC-20EII (2.0x) teleconverters, extending flexibility.

"The price tag on this lens is steep, but I needed something that would track birds in flight during uncertain lighting conditions hand held, and still provide sharp images. This lens is about the largest Nikon prime that doesn't require the support of a monopod or tripod. I use it with a Nikon TC1 …" Read Full Review »

Exceptional optical quality lens

★★★★★

"In my constant search for perfection of optical quality, I kept upgrading from a 70-300mm zoom lens (very disappointing in optical quality) to a 300mm F/4 lens (much better but still room to grow). Then I decided to replace it with a 300mm F2.8 (AF-S, VR etc...) and it was instantly the nirvana (for …" Read Full Review »

"I use my 300/2.8 with a D300 for sports and wildlife. Its low-light and speedy autofocus capabilities have taken my photography to another level. The keeper shots are way up. I regularly get brilliantly crisp subjects against ghostly bokeh backgrounds.

It is heavy. For sports, a monopod is a m …" Read Full Review »

"I shoot with a Nikon D300 and D200. I've had this lens for 8 months and have used it to shoot at PGA golf tournaments and MLB day and night games with a monopod and have gotten stunning results.
