Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm - Review

As a professional photographer or someone who just loves taking pictures, having a reliable and high-quality telephoto zoom lens is essential. The Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras is one of the best lenses in the market, and for a good reason. This lens is the perfect choice for photography enthusiasts who require a high-quality lens but do not want to break the bank.

The NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR lens is from the stable of Nikon, an established brand well known for producing excellent cameras and lenses. The lens is designed to work perfectly with Nikon DSLR cameras that have a cropped sensor (DX format). It has an aperture range of f/4.5-6.3 to F/32, making it suitable for capturing images in different light conditions, and it has a filter-attachment size of 58mm (p = 075 mm).

One of the features that make the NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR lens stand out from the others in the same category is the built-in Nikon VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization. The VR technology allows photographers to take sharp and blur-free pictures even with slower shutter speeds. This is particularly useful when shooting in low-light conditions or when you want to capture motion shots.

The lens features a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.22x, which means you can capture the tiniest details in your subject. This feature also makes it possible for you to zoom in and out to get the perfect shot without having to move closer physically, making it an ideal choice for wildlife photography, sports events, or portraits.

Another striking feature of the NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR lens is the ED (Extra-low dispersion) glass element employed to achieve excellent optical performance, resulting in high-quality images with minimal lens aberrations. The lens also features one aspherical element that helps reduce distortion and spherical aberrations, giving you even sharper and more detailed photos.

One remarkable feature of the lens is the easy access to lens settings. You can change the aperture, switch between auto and manual focus, and enable or disable VR in-camera menu, eliminating the need to switch between camera and lens for setting adjustments.

Interestingly, the Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR Lens is compatible with a limited number of Nikon DSLRs. The fully compatible cameras for this lens include the D7500, D5600, D5500, D5300, D3400, D3300, D500, and all later models. However, for the D5300 and D3300 model users, a firmware update may be required. The lens is also compatible with some models with limited functions such as the D5, D810 series, DF, D750, D7200, D7100, D5200, and Nikon 1 Series with the ft1.

However, the number of cameras that are compatible with both lenses is limited. Nikon users with older DSLRs such as the D4 series, D3 series, D2 series, D1 series, D800 series, D700, D610, D600, D300 series, D200, D100, D7000, D5100, D5000, D90, D80, D70 series, D3200, D3100, D3000, D60, D50, D40 series, and film cameras won't be able to use this lens.

The compact and lightweight design of the lens makes it incredibly easy to carry around, and you wouldn't have to worry about a bulky and heavy lens weighing you down.

Overall, the Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras is an excellent choice for anyone looking to take their photography skills to the next level. The lens is affordable, light, and easy to use, yet produces images that are sharp, clear, and with minimal aberrations.

In summary, the Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR lens is an exceptional telephoto zoom lens suitable for Nikon DSLR cameras with cropped sensors.
