Product Overview
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 120-300mm F2.8E FL ED SR VR is a telephoto zoom lens for Nikon F-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Nikon in 2020, it has 25 elements in 19 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 120-300mm F2.8E FL ED SR VR is externally-zooming. Fortunately, Nikon has provided a zoom lock that at least stops zoom creep. For incremental weathers, Nikon is kind enough to include weather sealing.
As a telephoto zoom lens with a bright maximum aperture, the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 120-300mm F2.8E FL ED SR VR is well suited for sports and portrait photography. Built-in image stabilization makes the lens easier to use handheld, and can be quite valuable for landscape works. Owners will also like the available tripod collar.
