For anyone seeking a high quality telephoto zoom lens for portraits and action photography at a very affordable price, the Nikon AF Zoom Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G Lens is a great solution.

This very compact telephoto zoom lens is fully compatible with the Nikon N65 as well as Nikon’s Professional D-series Digital SLR, 35mm Professional F5, F100, N80, N75 and Advanced Photo System Pronea cameras. Compact and lightweight, with a comfortable, well-balanced feel, the 4.3x zoom lens is ideal for candid shots, portraits, travel and sports photography.

A key design element considered that the newest Nikon SLR models have built-in aperture control (via the Command Dial), and therefore do not require that the lens have an aperture control ring. With this point in mind, the G lenses omit the aperture ring, resulting a lighter and more compact lens.

Note! AF not supported by D40, D40X, D60, D3000 & D5000 cameras.

• Compact and lightweight 4.3x zoom lens ideal for candids, portraits, travel and sports photography.
• Nine-blade rounded diaphragm.
• Lightweight 4.3X Telephoto zoom lens for SLR cameras that set aperture from command dial on camera body.
• New G-design enables apertures to be selected from select Nikon AF SLR camera bodies.
• D-type design provides precise distance information for flash and ambient light exposure process.

Performs best at the shorter end of the range, but deteriorates as you zoom
