Nikon NIKKOR AF-P DX 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED 70-300mm
Weighing just 400g, this 70-300mm DX lens uses an AF-P stepping motor for fast, quiet autofocus and one ED element to maintain clarity. Super Integrated Coating and a 7-blade diaphragm deliver contrasty images with smooth bokeh, while in-camera setting access adds convenience on compatible bodies. It’s ideal for budget Nikon DX shooters needing a lightweight telephoto for wildlife or outdoor portraits, but only with fully compatible camera models.
