The 70-300mm lens is a telephoto zoom lens made by Nikon.The lens has an F-mount to work with all the SLRs line of cameras (except the early 70-300G with the D40), although the more recent AF-P lenses will not focus on film SLRs or older DSLRs (roughly before 2013). The lens comes in seven different versions: * AF f/4-5.6G * AF f/4-5.6D * AF f/4-5.6D ED * AF-S f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED * AF-P f/4.5-6.3G IF-ED DX * AF-P f/4.5-6.3G IF-ED DX VR * AF-P f/4.5-5.6E IF-ED VR It is the successor of the 70-210 lens, which targets the prosumer market, one grade lower than 80-200mm with large aperture.
