The AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR telephoto zoom lens covers 70 to 300mm2 focal length, and is designed for superior resolving power at both maximum wide-angle (70mm) and telephoto (300mm), putting it amongst the top few in its class and giving you the ability to isolate certain aspects of your shot or compose the perfect image with minimal distraction to your subject. At close range, it delivers exceptional performance too, with a minimum focus distance of 1.2m and maximum reproduction ratio of 0.25x, allowing for brilliant magnification of your subject up close.
Deliver even more breathtaking photos with the new AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR telephoto zoom lens. Featuring an ED glass element that corrects chromatic aberration effectively even at the periphery, it has the ability to produce images that are sharp, with colours that are more true-to-life, even in high-contrast situations. When paired with modern high-resolution cameras, it outpaces the competition with its excellent high-resolution imagery.
Stay at the top of your game under any circumstance. The AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR features a vastly improved, fast and highly accurate AF function. With its stepping motor (STM), you can swiftly and smoothly change focus, allowing an uninterrupted transition even when capturing action in your videos. The lens is also nimble and ultra-responsive to challenging scenarios as its built-in VR function delivers an effect equivalent to a shutter speed 4.5 stops1 faster in Normal mode. When VR Sport mode is employed, a stable viewfinder image enables easier composition for you to score that perfect shot, even with the fast-paced action on the field.
