Telephoto zoom lens for Nikon DX cameras with electromagnetic diaphragm and vibration reduction.
The Nikon AF-P DX Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR is a telephoto zoom for APS-C Nikon cameras using the AF-P (stepping motor) system optimised for smooth video autofocus. E indicates electromagnetic aperture diaphragm; ED = Extra-low Dispersion; VR = Vibration Reduction.
70–300mm zoom range (105–450mm equivalent on APS-C), f/4.5-5.6 variable maximum aperture, AF-P stepping motor, E electromagnetic aperture, ED glass, VR, Nikon F mount.
The AF-P stepping motor provides quiet, smooth autofocus ideal for video recording and live-view AF on compatible Nikon bodies. The E electromagnetic diaphragm requires a compatible Nikon body — older non-CPU bodies cannot control the aperture. ED glass and VR make this a capable lightweight telephoto zoom.
Verify body compatibility for AF-P and E-type aperture — check Nikon's compatibility list for your specific body. Test AF-P in video mode for smoothness. Inspect for haze, fungus, and ED coating condition. Confirm VR function. Check Nikon F mount contacts.
