“Is this lens compatible with my D300? I am reading that if it's not full frame there will be vignetting around the edges. I need a good portrait lens and I'm leaning towards the 85mm.”

The AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G lens is a beautifully fast and sharp lens that is perfect for portraits and will work well with the Nikon D300. Vignetting can occur with this lens when the HB-62 Bayonet Lens Hood is not attached properly but taking off and re-attaching the hood should solve that problem. Removing an attached filter from the lens can also solve a vignetting problem. If you see there is vignetting, even after trying these tips please contact Nikon Support for troubleshooting help.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will work with your D300. It will be 127.5 mm with the dx crop factor but vignetting will not be a problem. That generally happens with putting a dx lens on a full frame camera. If you want to be close to 85 mm equivalent you will need to look at around 60 mm. I use the 60D micro on my D300 and D7000.
