To me, Nikon's new Nikkor 300mm f/4E PF ED VR is the perfect storm of everything in modern optics coming together. The quality is there as is the innovation with the Fresnel lens and the lens is sharp. Really sharp! However, in all cases, the overall shar...
It's nice to see innovation hard at work, and the resulting reduction in size and weight is welcome for users who were tired of lugging around the 3+ lbs. 300mm ƒ/4 AF-S. If there are any shortcomings with the new PF version, it is that it is not capable...

Lightweight design. Sharp from edge to edge. Optically stabilized. 1:4 magnification.
Pricey. Not compatible with some older cameras
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4E PF ED VR is a light and compact telephoto prime lens, but you pay a premium for its size...

average performance against bright light, price.
If you compare the lists of pros and cons you can answer a question concerning the advantages of using new technologies without hesitation. A classic lens – made of ordinary elements – perhaps would have higher resolution results and would fare against br...

VR not working properly around 1/160 1/80 on the samples I tested, Fresnel flare under extreme conditions, Expensive.
The Nikon AF-S 300mm f4E PF ED VR delivers very good sharpness and overall contrast even wide open. And that in a package that is the smallest and lightest 300mm f4.0 lens available for full-frame cameras: indeed, it's lighter and only a little longer tha...

Abstract: With a strap line of ‘Fill your frame, not your bag' Nikon has launched a small and portable F-mount 300mm telephoto lens for sports and wildlife photographers. Boasting a new ‘Phase Fresnel' element, Nikon claim they've effectively reduced the bulk and w...

Piqué légèrement en retrait à f/4, Vignetage imposant à f/4, Bague de mise au point un peu bruyante
Impossible de ne pas recommander cette optique! Elle a tout d'une grande dans un format compact. La qualité optique est remarquable malgré un peu de vignetage et un léger piqué en retrait à la plus grande ouverture f/4. La prise en main est réellement su...
Abstract: Nikons nye teleobjektiv på 300 mm og blænde F4.0 er 700 gram lettere og syv cm kortere end den gamle tele med samme brændvidde. Det kan lade sig gøre på grund af Nikons første Phase Fresnel-linse, hos Canon kaldet DO, som bryder lyset ......
