Nikon F 70-300mm lens

The lens has an F-mount to work with all the SLRs line of cameras (except the early 70-300G with the D40), although the more recent AF-P lenses will not focus on film SLRs or older DSLRs (roughly before 2013).

[1] The lens comes in seven different versions: It is the successor of the 70-210 lens, which targets the prosumer market, one grade lower than 80-200mm with large aperture.

Introduced in August 2006, the current incarnation of the lens (AF-S VR f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED) improves on the original with VR stabilization technology as well as with internally focusing components (IF).

More expensive than its partner 55-200mm lens, its construction is similar, with the exterior shell being fabricated from plastic components.

Also, the longer barrel length allowed the focus ring to be relocated in front of the zoom ring, making manual focus operations simpler.
