Description

This was Nikon's first autofocus zoom lens in the 100-300mm range. It features a "push-pull" zoom design where a single ring controls both focal length and focus. The f/5.6 aperture is constant throughout the zoom range, which was a professional-leaning feature at the time, though the lens itself was marketed toward consumers and enthusiasts. It uses the Nikon F-mount and features a physical aperture ring, making it compatible with older manual-focus bodies as well as AF SLRs. It is often noted for its relatively compact size and lightweight build compared to modern 300mm zooms.
