To get even closer to your subjects, simply attach a teleconverter such as the AF-S Teleconverter TC-17E II. This applies a 1.7x multiplication factor and pushes the focal length of the AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR to 510mm.
Redefine the boundaries of telephoto precision and uncompromising image quality with the AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR.

*2 The PF lens, developed by Nikon, effectively compensates chromatic aberration utilizing the photo diffraction phenomenon. It provides superior chromatic aberration compensation performance when combined with a normal glass lens. Diffraction phenomenon explains that light has characteristics as a waveform. When a waveform faces an obstacle, it attempts to go around and behind it, and this characteristic is referred to as diffraction. The diffraction causes chromatic dispersion in the reverse order of refraction. Due to the characteristics of a PF (Phase Fresnel) lens that utilizes the photo diffraction phenomenon, when there is a strong light source within the frame or when light enters the lens from outside of the frame, ring-shaped coloured flare may occur according to shooting conditions. This phenomenon can be minimized with “PF Flare Control” included in Capture NX-D (ver.1.1.0 or later).
