Nikon 300mm f4E PF ED VR Lens Hands On CES 2015

http://froknowsphoto.com/nikon-d5500-300-f4/

Last week Nikon announced the 300mm F4 VR PF lens and I got my hands on it at CES 2015. When Nikon told me that this lens was 1.5 pounds lighter than the older 300 I was like how is that possible. But when I held onto it at CES 2015 I was blown away with the lack of size and weight it had.

Nikon says this is possible due to it's Phase Fresnel optics that allow for a much small and lighter lens system. This lens is just that, smaller and lighter. It's not exactly lighter in the pocketbook though clocking in at $2,000 but it does have 4.5 stops of VR stability.

Who is this lens for? Well if you want to travel light and cary a big stick, aka a long lens, this is for you. The lens is almost the same size as the Nikon 24-70 2.8 but weights less. If you need light weight and long glass with great stability this one will be for you.

I did not take test images from CES 2015 because they would have been shot in terrible light. I will wait for a true hands on to take sample images that represent the lens better.
