Telephoto zoom for FX and DX cameras

The Nikon AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR covers a versatile focal range from 70 to 300 millimetres on full-frame bodies. On DX cameras the effective reach extends to 105-450 millimetres. It uses a stepping motor for ultra-fast, near-silent autofocus and includes Vibration Reduction for sharper handheld shots and steadier video. The lens weighs 24 ounces and focuses internally down to 1.2 metres.

Suited to sports, wildlife and event shooters

Photographers who need a lightweight telephoto for outdoor action, concerts or weddings will appreciate the balance and VR performance. The variable aperture of f/4.5-5.6 and the 70 millimetre wide end limit its usefulness for indoor low-light work or wide environmental portraits. Buyers who want a constant f/2.8 aperture or a wider starting focal length should look at something else.

Steady handling during long sessions

Vibration Reduction keeps images sharp when shooting handheld at slower shutter speeds during extended events. The stepping motor maintains quiet, responsive focus tracking for continuous bursts of sports or wildlife action. Internal focusing prevents the barrel from extending, preserving balance on compact DSLR bodies throughout the day.

Questions about this item

Which Nikon DSLR bodies can autofocus with this AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR lens?

This AF-P lens requires a Nikon DSLR body that supports AF-P autofocus; models without AF-P support will not autofocus with it.

Will the 105-450mm equivalent reach on my DX camera still cover the 70mm wide end I use for portraits?

On a DX body the zoom becomes 105-450mm equivalent, so the wide end starts at 105mm rather than the 70mm available on FX cameras.

How can I confirm VR is active after I mount the lens and half-press the shutter?

The viewfinder image should stabilise noticeably and the VR indicator in the viewfinder or on the rear LCD will show active when the system is working.
