Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II Super Telephoto Lens: Capture the moment by attaching this super telephoto lens to your camera's Nikon F-Bayonet mount. You'll be able to achieve crystal-clear shots with minimal blurring and flare thanks to VR II (vibration reduction) image stabilization and a nano crystal coat. Plus, autofocusing is fast and quiet with the SWM (silent wave motor).

Lens Buying Guide

  • Compatible with most cameras with a Nikon F-Bayonet mount: For a precise fit.
  • Telephoto lens provides detailed photos from a distance: Magnify distant subjects and isolate a small field of view for vivid close-up shots.
  • 300mm focal length for intense magnification: Ideal for wildlife photography, sporting events and any photo shoot that prevents you from getting close to your subject.
  • f/2.8 maximum aperture: Creates sharp, detailed images with shallow depth of field and softly blurred background. Performs best in moderate-to-bright light settings or outdoors on overcast days.
  • Enjoy crystal-clear shooting: VR II (vibration reduction) image stabilization compensates for camera shake to minimize blurring and ghosting. The nano crystal coat reduces ghosting and flare for even more accurate shots.
  • Pull subjects and scenes into view: The SWM (silent wave motor) allows smooth, quiet autofocusing.
  • Effectively processes light: The SIC (super integrated coating) minimizes flare and provides faithful color reproduction, while 3 ED (extra-low dispersion) elements limit chromatic aberration at wide apertures.
  • Rounded 9-blade diaphragm: Provides a natural out-of-focus effect to help you get creative with your shots.
  • Defends against the elements: The magnesium die-cast barrel construction and protective meniscus front lens resist dust and moisture for a durable design.
  • Accommodates 52mm filters: 52mm NC filter and filter holder included.
  • Accessories included: Comes with a slip-on front lens cover, rear lens cap, 52mm filter holder, 52mm Nikon NC filter, strap (LN-1), slip-on lens hood (HK-30) and semi-soft case (CL-L1).

Q: hello all. my question is will this lens work on a D7500 and D7200 Nikon ? if so how was quailty of the photos? thank you for all the help

A: Yes, the AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II Lens will work on both the D7500 and D7200. Please keep in mind that when using this lens on a DX Crop sensor body like the D7500 and D7200, there will be a crop factor of 1.5 times, meaning the focal length on this lens will appear to be a 450mm lens.
