Nikon's professional 300mm f/2.8 — gold-ring VR-equipped supertelephoto for sports and wildlife.

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED VR is a professional telephoto prime for Nikon F-mount full-frame, available in two VR generations (VR I: ~2004; VR II: 2009 — optically identical, improved VR in the II). Eleven elements in 8 groups with 3 ED elements. Nine rounded aperture blades. No front filter thread — 52mm rear drop-in filter slot. At 2,900g. 2.3m MFD.

Eleven elements in 8 groups (3 ED elements). Nine rounded aperture blades. No front filter thread — 52mm rear drop-in filter slot. At 2,900g the lens is heavy. Minimum focus distance of 2.3m. SWM silent wave motor for fast AF. VR: approximately 2-2.5 stops (VR I) or 3 stops (VR II). f/2.8 constant aperture. Full-frame coverage. Nikon F mount.

The 300mm f/2.8 occupies the professional sports and wildlife telephoto prime tier: f/2.8 at 300mm enables faster shutter speeds and selective focus at telephoto distances for action and wildlife. The rear drop-in filter design (52mm) allows filter changes without removing the lens — practical for ND and polariser use at the 300mm focal length. The VR II version's improved stabilisation is detectable in controlled testing.

On the used market the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED VR is available at professional telephoto prime pricing. Condition checks: SWM AF response, VR operation, rear filter slot condition, front element for marks. Note: no front filter thread — rear 52mm drop-in slot. VR II (2009) is the current production version; VR I (2004) optically identical. Compatible with all Nikon F-mount FX bodies.
