Nikon NIKKOR AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II 300mm

51.9 Score
300mm 22 Nikon F IS Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

The f/2.8 maximum aperture at 300mm, combined with three extra-low dispersion elements and Nano Crystal Coatings, yields high contrast and minimal chromatic aberration. Silent Wave Motor autofocus operates quickly and quietly, and VR II stabilization reduces camera shake by up to three stops for handholding in challenging light. This lens is best for sports and wildlife photographers who need precise subject isolation and reliable performance at a distance.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S 400mm

48.2 Score
400mm 22 Nikon F IS Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this ▼

Fluorite and ED glass combined with a fast f/2.8 aperture deliver sharp, contrast-rich telephoto images, while the 5.5-stop VR system keeps the 3801g lens handheld-ready. Weather sealing and a fluorine-coated front element protect the optics in harsh conditions, and the 9-blade diaphragm renders smooth out-of-focus backgrounds. This lens is ideal for sports and wildlife photographers using Nikon F-mount DSLRs who require dependable AF-S autofocus and rugged build quality.
