About this product

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).

Features
  • 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.

  • 7.2' minimum focusing distance in manual focus mode

  • 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).

Tamron - 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD Standard Zoom Lens for Sony E-Mount - Black

The 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD (Model AFB070S700) is a large aperture everyday zoom lens for Sony E-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. Fast, sharp, quiet, and small—this new APS-C zoom lens is extraordinarily versatile and perfect for everyday photography. The lens was created to achieve a broad zoom range and excellent image quality. With a focal length range of 17-70mm (a full-frame equivalent of 25.5-105mm), it’s the world's first 17-70mm F2.8 standard zoom lens with a 4.1x zoom ratio for APS-C cameras. The 17-70mm F2.8 includes Tamron's proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation). When shooting video, by utilizing AI technology, image stabilization performance improves compared to conventional models. Designed specifically for use with APS-C mirrorless cameras, the lens is light weight and compact, even with VC. Its small size and versatility make it a great choice for outdoor, travel and vacation photography, where compact camera bags are preferred, and of course for daily use. Additionally, photographers / users can take advantage of a close working distance. It features an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.19m (7.5 in) at the wide-angle end and 0.39m (15.4 in) at the telephoto end. The lens is equipped with Tamron’s RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) AF drive system, a high-speed, precision stepping motor unit. It also incorporates a wide variety of other features, including Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating for added durability. In your everyday life and on your trips to distant places, this lens captures all the excitement and discoveries with the finest possible detail.

Canon - RF50mm F1.8 STM Standard Prime Lens for EOS R-Series Cameras - Black

Some items like your keys or wallet you just take everywhere you go because you just never know. For anyone with an EOS R series camera, add the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens to that list. As part of the EOS R System, it’s nice and compact thanks to its RF mount so you can shoot – and get a great shot – anywhere and anytime. Size isn’t all though. As a fixed focal length lens, it lets you be creative with composition and can be used for a wide range of scenes from snapshots to portraits, landscapes to low-light situations and more. Those images will stand out, too, just like you intend whether on social media, or when sharing or printing, thanks to impressive optical features like a PMo aspherical lens to suppress aberrations, Super Spectra coating to reduce flaring and ghosting, and a large f/1.8 aperture for low-light shooting and beautiful bokeh. Pick it up and use it one time and you’ll see for yourself, and you won’t be able to leave the house without it.

Questions & Answers
  • 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

    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.

  • Can you please confirm the version of the lens that is being offered for sale, and whether it is a Nikon USA version. The current picture displayed is for the original 300mm f/2.8 VR I, but the description says it is the newer VR II version. Thanks.

    This is the latest G ED VR II version. The photo might be of the previous version because the new lens also falls under the same product category.
