Review Summary
2024-03-09T08:02:41
Albeit I have yet to purchase my own 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR, I have been honored to have been able to use it multiple times. I was able to use it with all my Nikon Camera Equipment: (i.e., my Nikon D850; Nikon D5; and my new Nikon Z9--which is in a word: STUPENDOUS), this Nikkor Lens is second-(2nd) to none.

I've had this lens for about 8 months and absolutely love it. I do extensvie High School Sports so this is ideal! Even indoors for Basketball, etc it gives me that extra reach, sharpness, needed. The only drawback and I mean the only is the weight. I have free-handed it for about 2 quarters but my back starts cramping leading me to switch to my 70-200 2.8. For Baseball, Softball, Football, Soccer, etc I use a monopod...you do have to invest in a top notch version though...my $40 version would simply collapse down so I bought a professional grade and no problems since.

Excellent quality and build with super fast focusing either with Autofocus or Manually. Using on my D5. Can be handheld but a monopod is definitely beneficial. I use it almost exclusively for sports but it looks great for nature photos as well.

I read other reviews on this lens and had to get one. It is one of the best lenses Nikon has ever made.. Has lots of controls right on the lens. Take your time read about them all and what they do. I shoot with a Nikon D5 and it controls the lens just awesome. I am so impressed with the quality of lens and images it produces.
