Nikon AF-S 70-300mm used #9163013

Of course! Here is a detailed description of the Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR:

General features:

The Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is a telephoto zoom lens for Nikon DSLRs with an APS-C or full-frame sensor. It offers a versatile focal length range from 70 to 300 mm, making it particularly suitable for sports, wildlife and nature photography. With its Vibration Reduction (VR) technology, it is able to reduce motion blur, which is particularly helpful at longer focal lengths and in low light.

Optical features:

1. Vibration Reduction (VR): VR technology ensures effective reduction of camera shake. This function is particularly useful when shooting at longer focal lengths and in low light to achieve sharp images without a tripod.

   There are two modes:

   • Mode 1: For general stabilization

   • .Mode 2: For stabilization during movement (ideal tracking for moving objects).

2. Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass: The lens is equipped with ED glass elements that reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing.

3. This improves image quality and ensures greater sharpness and colour rendition, especially when using long focal lengths.

4. Multi-layer coating (Super Integrated Coating): A specially developed coating on the lens surfaces minimizes ghost images and stray light, so that contrasts are maintained even in difficult lighting conditions.

Autofocus and motorization:

1. Silent Wave Motor (SWM): the Silent Wave Motor enables fast, precise and, above all, very quiet autofocus.

2. This is particularly advantageous when working with video recordings or in situations where quiet autofocus is required.

3. Close focusing distance: The close focusing distance of the lens is 1.5 meters (for the entire focal length). This means that you can get relatively close to your subject even at longer focal lengths, making the lens even more versatile, especially for macro photography.

Construction and handling:

1. Focusing and Zoom mechanism: the lens has an internal focusing mechanism where the focusing range does not change, so the lens barrel does not rotate when focusing.

2. This is particularly advantageous when using polarizing filters or when working with a tripod

3. .Convenient Zoomring: The Zoomring is easy to turn and enables smooth zooming in on subjects, whether at 70 mm or 300 mm.

4. Compact design: Compared to other telephoto zoom lenses, the 70-300mm lens is relatively compact and lightweight. Weighing only 1,070 g, it is easy to transport in the telephoto range, making it ideal for photographers who travel a lot.

Image quality:

• Sharpness is good across the Zoom range, with the best results in the center of the frame at medium focal lengths.

• At maximum focal length (300mm), there may be slight blurring and a reduction in contrast in the corners, but this is quite normal for this price range.

• Colours are clear and well reproduced, with the ED glass insert helping to minimize chromatic aberrations.

Areas of application:

1. Sports photography: the fast autofocus response time and Zoomflexibility are ideal for shooting moving subjects.

2. Wildlife photography: with a focal length of 300 mm, you can shoot animals from a safe distance without disturbing them.

3. Landscape photography: Thanks to the flexible focal length range, the lens is also well suited for landscapes, especially when a longer focal length is required to capture details.

4. Travel photography: The compactness and versatility make it a perfect travel companion when you want to capture different scenes with just one lens.

Compatibility:

The Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is compatible with all Nikon DSLR cameras that have an F bayonet mount. It works with both full-frame and APS-C sensors. On cameras with an APS-C sensor, the crop factor (approx. 1.5x) results in an effective focal length range of 105-450 mm, which makes the lens even more versatile.

Conclusion:

The Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR is a very good telephoto zoom lens that is suitable for photographers who need high image quality, fast autofocusing and convenient image stabilization without having to spend a huge budget. It offers excellent performance for a wide range of photographic applications, from zoom photography to sports shots and landscape photography. Despite its compact size, it offers good value for money and is one of the preferred options in the telephoto zoom lens range.
