Exceeded expectations, December 16, 2008
By E. G. Kallen (san diego, ca United States)
Amazing results. I was considering the 300/2.8AFS VR.. but it costs a whole lot more ( ~$5K), and its too heavy to lug around. The 300/4 AFS is affordable and can be easily hand held. The images from this lens, obviously, cannot match the f/2.8 lens, but they are close. Everything considered, the AFS 300mm f/4 Nikkor is a better value than the 2.8 VR lens.
rivals much more expensive lenses . . ., September 2, 2007

Nikon’s 300mm f/4 ED-IF AF-S telephoto lens is a excellent value and an excellent choice for shooting Sports, wildlife and portraits. At 3.17 lbs., it is very mobile and easy to hand hold. With extra low dispersion “ED” glass and fast, silent internal focusing, it is capable of producing photos that rival much more expensive lenses. When coupled with teleconverters, focus is not as sure and some shots may be missed while autofocus is hunting for the subject. For those needing additional range, after November 2007 Nikon nikkor lens will be introducing three new fast autofocus vibration reduction “VR II” super telephoto lenses:
AF-S 600mm f/4G ED VR, AF-S 500mm f/4G ED VR and AF-S 400mm f/2.8G ED VR.
Great Lens, June 23, 2006

This is a superb lens, without the bulk or the much higher cost of the f/2.8 version. With the money you’ll save, you can buy a replacement tripod collar for the lens from Kirk Enterprises, which is a vast improvement over the somewhat flimsy collar which comes with the lens.
Superb 300mm f4 Nikon telephoto lens, July 16, 2005
By John Kwok (New York, NY USA)
This is the latest version of the Nikon 300mm f4 ED Nikkor lens, which is surprisingly relatively light and barely hand-holdable. Those photographers who don’t need the additional speed or bulk of the 300mm f2.8 Nikkor, will find this lens quite reliable for nature, landscape, and especially, sports photography. In its latest incarnation, the 300mm f4 ED Nikkor now can focus very fast and accurately, due to Nikon’s Silent Wave autofocusing technology. Without question, this is one of the finest 300mm lenses available now. If I was still using Nikon equipment, I wouldn’t hesitate adding this lens to my kit.
