Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED Lens

Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED Lens
Compact APS-C Telephoto Zoom – 105-450mm Equivalent, Pulse Stepping Motor, ED Optical Glass & Super Integrated Coating

The Nikon AF-P DX NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED is a lightweight telephoto zoom lens engineered specifically for DX-format APS-C Nikon F-mount DSLRs (delivering an expansive 105-450mm equivalent focal length range). Designed for sports, wildlife, travel, and portraiture, this lens offers long-range reach in a highly portable, everyday form factor.

Optically, the lens incorporates one Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass element to minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range. Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating (SIC) is applied to individual optical elements to suppress internal reflections, lens flare, and ghosting for accurate contrast and color rendition under bright lighting. Autofocus is driven by an AF-P pulse stepping motor that provides fast, quiet, and smooth focus tracking well-suited for both still photography and video recording. For a streamlined exterior profile, physical AF/MF switches have been removed from the lens barrel, with focus mode settings accessed directly via compatible camera menus.

CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES

Exterior & Housing: PRE-OWNED. The plastic composite lens barrel, rubber zoom ring, and plastic rear bayonet mount display light superficial surface marks consistent with standard camera bag handling.

Camera AF Compatibility Notice: AF-P PULSE MOTOR COMPATIBILITY REQUIRED. Full compatibility requires recent Nikon DSLR bodies (e.g., D500, D7500, D5600, D5500, D3500, D3400) or Z-series mirrorless bodies via FTZ adapter. Older DSLRs (e.g., D7200, D7100, D5300, D5200, D3300) offer limited function support and may require a firmware update. Incompatible with legacy DSLRs (such as D3000-series D3200 and earlier, D5100, D90, D200, etc.).

Mechanical & Optical Status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL. Optical glass elements are clear and free of damage; AF-P pulse stepping motor, zoom helicoid, and 7-blade aperture mechanism operate properly.
