Telephoto Prime with Phase Fresnel

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR is a compact telephoto prime for FX-format F-mount cameras. It also works on DX bodies where it delivers a 450mm equivalent field of view. The Phase Fresnel element cuts size and weight compared to conventional 300mm designs. A fluorine coating on the front element repels dust and moisture.

Upgrade from Slower Telephoto Zooms

This lens replaces variable-aperture zooms that lose light at the long end. The constant f/4 aperture holds exposure across the frame and supports faster shutter speeds. The jump is worth it when you need 4.5 stops of Vibration Reduction for handheld low-light work. Buyers who need zoom flexibility or wider maximum apertures should look elsewhere.

F-Mount Compatibility Limits

The lens uses the Nikon F bayonet and covers the FX image circle. On DX sensors it crops to a 450mm equivalent angle of view. The electromagnetic diaphragm requires a compatible body for aperture control. Older film or early digital bodies without electronic contacts will not meter or stop down correctly.

Questions about this item

What filter thread size does the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR lens accept?

The lens accepts 77mm filters, matching the included filter kit and snap-on cap.

How do you correctly attach the HB-73 bayonet hood to avoid vignetting?

Align the hood's bayonet mount with the lens barrel, twist clockwise until it clicks, and ensure the hood petals are oriented horizontally.

How should the fluorine coating on the front element be cleaned to maintain its dust and moisture resistance?

Use a blower first, then gently wipe with a microfibre cloth and lens cleaning fluid; avoid abrasive materials that could wear the coating.
