Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4D IF-ED – Review / Test Report by photozone.de

The Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4D IF-ED is one of the few near-flawless lenses tested so far. The resolution figures are generally excellent and distortions and vignetting are basically negligible. CAs are very well under control. Adding a Nikkor AF-S 1.4x only results in a moderate decrease in resolution (about one school mark). The mechanical quality of the Nikkor is exceptionally high and it was a joy to use this lens in the field. Highly recommended!

Nikon AF Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF ED Lens Review by slrlensreview.com

Nikon AF Nikkor 300mm f/4D ED IF is a pretty solid long telephoto lens. Its biggest advantage is the bang for the buck it delivers in terms of performance to the price ratio. Image resolving capabilities of the lens are quite sound, APS-C sensor or FF. The lens is built like a tank, has very decent command of color, flare and vignetting. On the low-down, AF performance is just plain horrible. This is the only reservation I’d state about this lens – if you intend using it for any sort of action photography, you should look elsewhere.
