(From Nikon lens literature) Nikon has introduced the AF-S NIKKOR 300mm ƒ/4E PF ED VR, the world's lightest 300mm full-frame fixed focal length AF lens, which is nearly 30% shorter and 1.5 lbs. lighter than its predecessor. Extremely easy to handle and built to suit the needs of serious photographers in the field, the new 300mm ƒ/4 lens utilizes Phase Fresnel optical technology to help correct chromatic aberration and reduce the overall size and weight of the lens, making it easy to pack for any assignment. Capable of producing tack-sharp images and beautiful background blur at a distance, Nikon's newest FX-format lens also features four and a half stops of VR image stabilization, a VR Sport mode, VR tripod detection as well as several of the latest NIKKOR optical technologies including electromagnetic aperture control, a Silent Wave Motor for quiet AF operation, ED glass for further controlling chromatic aberrations and Nano Crystal Coat for superior image quality.
The AF-S NIKKOR 300mm ƒ/4E PF ED VR lens will be available in early February for an SRP of US$1,999.95.
