The Nikon AF-I Nikkor 300mm f/2.8D IF-ED is a high-speed fixed telephoto lens designed for the Nikon F mount, launched in the early 1990s as part of the AF-I series, the precursor to integrated focus motor technology. This lens combines a robust build with high-performance optics, including extra-low dispersion (ED) elements to minimize chromatic aberrations and internal focusing (IF) that maintains a constant length during focusing. Its maximum aperture of f/2.8 makes it an excellent tool for working in low light and achieving precise control over depth of field.
Key Features
- Fixed focal length of 300 mm, ideal for sports, nature, and action photography.
- Maximum aperture f/2.8 and minimum f/22, with a 9-blade diaphragm for smooth bokeh.
- Optical construction with 9 elements in 6 groups, including ED lenses for high sharpness and chromatic correction.
- Internal focusing (IF) system that does not extend the lens when focusing, improving handling.
- Nikon F mount compatible with digital and analog Nikon series SLR cameras.
- Built-in 39 mm rear filter for protection and versatility.
Ideal for
Nature, sports, and aviation photographers who need a bright and fast telephoto lens, as well as Nikon camera users seeking professional long-range optics with reliable optical performance.

Is this lens compatible with Nikon FX mount cameras?
