Nikon AF-S 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR Lens

Speed, reach, and flexibility define the Nikon AF-S 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR, an F-mount telephoto zoom characterised by an advanced optical design, quick focusing performance, and a bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture. Fluorite and extra-low dispersion glass is used throughout the optical layout to effectively suppress a variety of aberrations for improved clarity, sharpness, and colour accuracy throughout the zoom range.

Balancing the optical merits, this 120-300mm is also characterised by its inclusion of a Vibration Reduction image stabilisation system that compensates for camera shake to enable sharper handheld shooting. A Silent Wave Motor also benefits producing sharp imagery, and affords quick and quiet autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. Additionally, a rotating tripod collar is featured to assist working with a support system and this lens utilises an electromagnetic diaphragm to ensure consistent exposure stability when shooting at fast continuous speeds.

• Designed for use with FX image sensors, this 120-300mm lens is also compatible with DX sensors where it will provide a 180-450mm equivalent focal length range.
• Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture offers consistent illumination throughout the zoom range and benefits working in available lighting conditions as well as offers improved control over depth of field.
• Fluorite and extra-low dispersion glass elements are incorporated into the optical design to greatly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve notable clarity and colour accuracy.
• Vibration Reduction image stabilisation helps to reduce the appearance of camera shake, benefiting this lens' use in low-light conditions. Additionally, a designated Sport Mode is well-suited to working in fast-paced conditions and a Tripod Mode helps to suppress subtle ground vibrations when working atop a support system.
• Silent Wave Motor affords quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override.
• Focus range limiter allows you to constrict the focus system to a 19.7' to infinity range for faster focusing performance.
• Assignable Function buttons can be used for lens-based activation of AF/AE Lock modes or for switching between different AF Area Modes.
• Dust- and moisture-resistant magnesium alloy lens barrel benefits the lens' use in inclement conditions.
• Tripod collar offers well-balanced support when working from a monopod or tripod. The collar ring also incorporates ball bearings for smooth transitions between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations.
• Specialised electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.
