I just purchased one of these and I'm excited about it. It's fast, and the color is phenomenal. It's in excellent shape, and I got it at a bargain. Thanks for posting this series of videos - they are incredibly helpful.
Excellent video. Thanks.
I just bought a 300mm f2.8 afs for $980. The optics are in perfect condition. The lens Barrell is in used but not abused conditIon. This lens is amazing! The bokeh is divine.
Hey Ken! Thanks for your videos. How is this lens compared to the 300mm 2.8 VR for wildlife?
love this lens.
love these close up videos, like your old tammy 45 mm vid. I request more! hope your good!
With the 52mm drop in filter do you unscrew the clear filter, or stack the 52mm ND filter on top? I bought a Hoya ND and screwed it onto the clear filter thread, and it’s too thick to close. And I can’t seem to unscrew the clear filter off, to simply have the ND filter on. Which one is the problem - clear filter needs to come off (if so, how? it’s stuck), or Hoya HMC NDX4 is too thick? [i want to use the lens for video and drop the shutter speed down a bit] Your thoughts?
Can this be used somewhat easily on a monopod? I'm thinking of getting one to go with my F5 for trips to the zoo, autocross races and a few other things that a great telephoto would be awesome for. Just need to be somewhat mobile with it.
I have the version II lens and as a hobbyist I’ve kept it in mint condition. I’ve loved having it and pair it with a 2x tele on my D800. I have no desire to go mirrorless as this setup has served me well.
Hi there. Does this lens' autofocus work with the TC-20e III. The chart doesn't specifically list the 300mm 2.8 afs or the 300mm 2.8 afs ii. I know the TC-14e III doesn't autofocus with it but I can't find a concrete answer on the TC-20e III.
Wow-wow!
hi kenn.
i got this lens and sometimes the af just stop while im shooting then activates again after turning the camera on/off. do have any idea why its behaving in such way?
danke in advance!
Considering how ridiculously small and light the current 300 f/4 is the 2.8 can use some shrinking...
When I have my camera on my 300 there is a tiny amount of left to right (twist) play. I presume it's just because the lens is so big your applying more torque with your grip??
Thanks ken for the info. i am looking for this lens in ebay. What would be right price for it at this time for a supposed mint quality.
Any idea where to get auto focus motor repaired?
I would love to see tamron brining a SP 300mm f2.8 vr ...
I have the 300mm 2.8 ED IF ai-s, but can't get ND filters for it. Can you tell me if non-Nikon thin filters will fit this 52mm filter holder, or are the threads Nikon proprietary threads like the 39mm filter in the ai-s lens? Also, can you compare the ease of turning this focusing ring in MF mode compared to the ai-s version? I can turn that one with my pinkie. Thanks so much!
Hi Tara. I can tell you, without a doubt that the AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/2.8D IF-ED will take a non-Nikon filter (threading is exact) and the one in the video. Don't know about the AI-S version. I tested a Hoya UV filter on mine. As far as the focus ring resistance...I wouldn't say pinkie, but is extremely smooth and requires little effort to turn.
Thanks so much for the info Michael!
I picked up an excellent copy of this lens last week and when I tell you it is mint I mean it is MINT! It looks like its never been used before.
One problem. I slipped on ice the week before injuring my wrist and now I can barely pick up the lens.
Sucks to be me right now.
I purchased a 300mm but I can’t get the 4 focus buttons to work on my d800…help?
I use this with the tc17ii for wildlife
would this lens work well with a niKon d7100
Whats the 400mm f2.8 in this version like?
Very nice condition. I wish i could find one in this shape!
yes, this was a rare bird in this shape….i used to own this lens
This video is five years old yet Nikon hasn't introduced a new version of this lens and at this point and I doubt they will for F-mount.
Just bought the af-s version with a 2x teleconverter and it is awesome.
Just picked one up for $500, she's been a bit roughed up but optics and AF still work well.
You really have to stop making videos about the Nikon Super telephotos until I collect them all. lol
not many left in this good of condition……pro working lenses are always ragged out
There's some on Ebay that look untouched, for about 2.2k to 2.4k. Every time you make a video about a lens the amount of people bidding always goes up.
i need tips! i purchased this lens used, in almost untouched condition but after cleaning the front of the glass I can see some dust inside and in the corner in front? and one a bit bigger spot on the inside of the front glass element. is this to worry about?! i need advice!
Generally it's not of any concern, those specs of dust inside the lens are going to be so out of focus that they will not appear on your final image, and the spot if it's "big" it will lower the overall contrast and luminosity a little bit, 1% at most...not even that...i give this advice presuming that the dust inside is "reasonable" if it"s a layer that"s creating a fog like effect on the inside of the lens then that's a different storry...
Will this work with Z mounts?
Is it okay to shoot in the rain with this?
How does it work with Teleconverter? And what's the maximum you recommend?
id never use this lens with a telecon honestly
This seems like an excellent lense and I'm sure it is. However, being a bird photographer who is carrying this around 9 hours some days and shooting in all weather, I don't think I would be able to live without the vr, although some may disagree. All i'm sayin is if you are shooting little warblers and the like, you need vr for hand holding it IMO :)
any comment on the durability of the focusing motor of the 300mm f2.8 afs non vr......are their motors as bad as the 300mm f4 af-s? thanks.
no, not an issue
Theoria Apophasis thanks.....i bought and sent back aa used f4...squeaky motor...but looked like new.....going for the 2.8 now...thanks for the quick reply!!! be well.
I have a …D II version with dead autofocus. Can you please advise where I can buy spares?
ebay, usedphotopro
what's your take on nikkor 300mm f1.4?
So you have 1mm focus length at f1.4? Why do you need something like this?
I owned this lens. The SWM burned out. Pissed me off. I had to ebay it off as broken and just picked up a mint AFI 300mm. Knock on wood but it has served me quite well.
the AFI has no parts, pray it doesnt go down :(
Yeah that worries me too dude! However, I've done some research on the focus motor. Nikon doesn't make the motors They never have. They buy them. Turns out Canon makes micro stepper motors. There is also a site which specializes in micro stepper motors. What I need to do is find a motor and then send it in to spec out the replacement. Piece of cake! Don't believe the hype about Nikon not having parts. They just wanted to get in the SWM business which is faulty as well.
Hi mister. I'm a big fan of your clips
I wonder if you can help me. I'm trying to find out exactly which version of a lens that is for sale. I have got the serial number of the seller. Surprisingly or not Nikon want help me with the information I need. Do you have a link you can share or any other advice on how I find out what lens it realy is. The seller claims that it is a Nikon AF-S 300mm f/2.8D IF-ED II Nikkor
Thanks in advance Mr Big C
heres the serial number lookup
www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/serialno.html
looked at it already, the problem is that Nikon uses different serial numbers in different parts of the world. That is the answer I got from Nikon. Living in Europe
But what the hell a AF-S 300mm f/2.8D IF-ED II + a TC-20E III for les than 2000$ is worth the risk ;)
First picture captured after purchase, the AF-S 300 + TC-20E III on a Nikon D500. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1077195762409857&set=pb.100003583294903.-2207520000.1485767960.&type=3&theater
I have one of these lenses, unfortunately Nikon no longer provides support (spares etc..) .. well not on the UK anyway.
I'm researching online and found the following warning from B&H photo re this lens. " AF-S lenses, while able to manually focus with all Nikon F-mount cameras, will autofocus ONLY with the following cameras- N65, N70/F70, N80/F80, N90s/F90x, F4, F4s, F5, F100, D100, D1 & D1x." IS THIS TRUE??? I see you use your D500 with this lens in another video. Can you NOT autofocus with a D500? I have a D700 and am considering buying this lens. Thanks for the video.
some bullshit typo on their site, thats not true AT ALL
Thank you so much!!!
Is this The Angry Photographer?
Where are the pictures ?
link below
why last year many news came out that nikon is already going to die???
You forgot to mention it has an aperture ring.
well i thought was too obvious to mention :)
Theoria Apophasis Probably, does it have any advantages though to have an aperture ring in today's cameras?
Just bought one from KEH for $1400
Ultra Tacky Nikon lens stickers. Oh dear!!!
tacky is relative
actually it makes the lens more visible for any goofball idiot who might bump into the lens and damage it when out and being used
You get a workout packing that thing around.
i have a bugee tactical sling and monopod that makes it easy
If you think this one is a workout, you really have to pick up a 400mm 2.8 af-i. My lord, 10 minutes and it felt like it was going to permanently damage my spine.
Zhida Zhou I've got old second hand 400 mm 2.8 manual focus non VR for £800 - it is divine (only on tripod with remote cable)
Well, that's the peculiar thing, the AIS is ligther then the Af-I, no idea how they managed that, but it's more then 1kg heavier.
Maybe it should come with a motorized trolley?
would this lens work well with a niKon d7100
