Nikon 70-300mm AFS-VR f4.5-5.6G IF-ED Zoom Lens

Optical Characteristics

With a 35mm equivalent focal length range of 105-450mm, this lens offers a powerful telephoto perspective.

Recommended Applications

*Recommendations are based only on the features necessary to perform the application successfully and do not take into account the relative image quality of different lenses

Field-based sports

300-400mm focal lengths produce scenic shots in field sports played in stadiums. Action close-ups require 500-600mm lenses. Fast ultrasonic focus is a must to quickly capture movement. Tripod mounting is recommended.

Technologies

ED glass

Nikon developed ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass to enable the production of lenses that offer superior sharpness and color correction by minimizing chromatic aberration. 
 
Nikon Super Integrated Coating

Nikons Super Integrated coating multilayer lens coating helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level.
Nikon Super Integrated Coating achieves a number of objectives, including minimized reflection in the wider wavelength range and superior color balance and reproduction.

Internal Focusing (IF)

Nikon’s IF technology enables you to focus a lens without it changing in size. All internal optical movement is limited to the interior of the non-extending lens barrel. This allows for a more compact, lightweight construction as well as a closer focusing distance. In addition, a smaller and lighter focusing lens group is employed to ensure faster focusing.

Distance information

D-type and G-type NIKKOR lenses relay subject-to-camera distance information to AF Nikon camera bodies. This then makes possible advances like 3D Matrix Metering and 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash.

Silent Wave Motor

Nikon’s AF-S technology is yet another reason professional photographers like NIKKOR telephoto lenses. AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon’s SWM which converts “traveling waves” into rotational energy to focus the optics. This enables high-speed autofocusing that’s extremely accurate and super quiet.
 
Vibration Reduction (VR)

This innovative VR system minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, and offers the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed three stops (eight times) faster.* It allows handheld shooting at dusk, at night, and even in poorly lit interiors. The lens’ VR system also detects automatically when the photographer pans — no special mode is required.
