Another lens which almost every professional photographer in the world will have used. Built to last with terrific optical quality and superfast focusing, it’s hard to find much to criticise - It has only one fault really - it weighs about 3kg - it’s too heavy to weigh on my normal scales - the readout said ”EE” - which is pretty much what I say every time I pick it up. Quality always has a price and apart from the financial one that’s the first thing that springs to mind about this lens - heavy.
You may notice in other tests that I permanently seem to be looking for the perfect 70-300 zoom to take on trips - that’s because you don’t want to carry one of these around all day unless you’re really sure you need to. My main worry when packing this for a trip is not that it will get damaged but that it will wipe out everything else in the bag! It’s a great lens, as I’m sure all other Nikon 300mm f2.8’s are so if you need one go for it, but go along and check out the weight first. The 300mm f4 weighs 1500g less.
