I do not think lenses can get any better than this one. Outstanding performer, razor sharp even with the TC-14E III 1.4x tele extender. The VR is also very efficient even with the extender.

Exceptional lens - tack sharp focus and considerably lighter than other 300mm or similarly sized lenses. Hand-held works well. Great birding and landscape lens. Speed of order processing, shipping and delivery by Crutchfield second to none.

I have to admit that I was hesitant about this lens at first. I had heard of some people having issues with the VR on their D800 and D810's. So, like most of my purchases, I rented this before I bought it. I shoot a Nikon D750 and this lens is an absolutely stellar piece of glass.

Great lens for bird photography - light to hold and tack sharp; creates a nice bokeh. Great when used on a dx Nikon camera.

A lightweight 300 mm with VR and very good image quality. I'd say the build quality is very good as well. I dropped it once abut 3 feet onto ceramic tile and it wasn't fazed.First time I remember dropping a lens and hopefuly the last. Paired with the D500 its great for wildlife and birds.

"I, like many others, have been waiting for this upgrade to the 300mm f4 for a long time. I have had it now for a couple of weeks and can give my first impressions. First, it is a lot smaller and lighter than the lens it replaces, thanks to the use of diffraction optics.

Normally buy from Wex but on this occasion went elsewhere due to lower price, sorry Wex. This lens is one of the best buys I've made in some time, it is light, very light and small for a 300mm and yes I know its an f4 but for someone who used to lug a 300mm f2.8 about this lens is a revelation.

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4E PF ED VR is a surprisingly small and lightweight full-frame telephoto lens that delivers excellent results in the field. The amazingly compact design and moderate weight allows the lens to be used hand-held in most shooting situations.

Great product. https://www.walsallroofingpros.com
