An evolution of the tested DX telephoto zoom, the Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED Lensfrom Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED Lensis a 105-450mm-equivalent lens featuring an updated focusing mechanism along with a compact form factor. One extra-low dispersion element is used in the optical design to greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to maintain image clarity. A Super Integrated Coating has also been applied to minimize reflections and flare for greater contrast. Suiting both photo and video applications, the AF-P designation indicates the use of a pulse stepping motor that offers notably quiet, fast, and precise autofocus performance.

Telephoto zoom is designed for DX-format Nikon F-mount cameras and provides a 105-450mm equivalent focal length.

One extra-low dispersion element greatly reduces color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and color accuracy.

A Super Integrated Coating has been applied to individual elements to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.

AF-P pulse motor uses stepping motors to deliver impressively smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance that is well-suited to both stills and video applications.

Rounded seven-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.

Autofocus switch has been removed from the lens design for a sleek profile; this operation is now accessible in compatible cameras' menu systems.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this lens support auto focusing on d5300?

A: AF-P lenses are compatible with the D5300, but you need to be certain you have the newest firmware installed.

Q: 2. Does this lens is compatible with d3200?

A: No, according to the Nikon website, it is NOT compatible with the D3200.

Q: 3. What does limited compatibility with the d7100 mean?

A: The AF-P autofocus system is a newer technology and cameras designed and manufactured more than a couple of years ago will not communicate properly with this AF system. Some cameras can have firmware updated to become AF compatible, but AF-P lenses are pretty much manual focus only on these relatively old bodies. Look for alternatives with AF or AF-S designations. Nikon has a lens compatibility chart on their website, if you do a web search. I don't think I can post the link for that in this answer.

Q: 4. Is this lens compatible with Nikon D3300?

A: I'm sorry but this lens is not compatible with the D3300. You can go with the 55-300mm. Please click on the link below to view; https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/729938-USA/Nikon_2197_AF_S_NIKKOR_55_300mm_f_4_5_5_6G.html

Q: 5. Does this lens(70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED Lens No VR) support Manual focusing?

A: Yes, it certainly does!!!

Q: 6. Does it work on a d3400?

A: Yes. It is fully compatible with the D3400. This means there is a menu option to turn VR ON/OFF on the D3400, on bodies not fully compatible you cannot shut off the VR since there is no longer a physical switch on the lens like on AF-S VR lenses.

Q: 7. What firmware do you need to use all of the camera's features?

A: You should always have the latest firmware to use all the current camera features.

Q: 8. What does this lense come with? Pictures above display a lense hood and soft case bag, but it is not listed in the in the box tab.

A: Just the lens

Q: 9. Does this lense have a have a built in motor required for Nikon d3200/d3300? Is it compatible?

A: Yes, it has a Pulse Stepping Motor AF System.

Q: 10. Will this lense work with the D60 using manual focus? Will all settings need to be manual?

A: AF-P lenses use the latest Stepping Motor technology to move the lens focus. The ability to change focus settings are in the camera menu rather than as switches on the lens barrel. As the first Nikon AF-P stepping motor was created in 2016, while the Nikon D60 is much older, being released in 2008, the AF-P lenses will not operate on the Nikon D60. As the lens does not have an AF/MF switch on the lens, there is no way to change the focus mode. Nikon states lenses with the AF-P are not compatible for use on your camera. You would need a Nikon lens that uses the Nikon AF-S Silent Wave Motor on your camera.
