The AF 75-300mm is a full frame lens so on an APS-C DSLR it can take advantage of a sweet spot effect and it shows - the lens is basically free of vignetting at 75mm and 200mm. At 300mm vignetting is a little more pronounced at f/5.6 but even here it should be rarely field-relevant. Show  MTF (resolution)The lens showed a rather mixed behavior in the MTF lab. At 75mm the resolution figures are great straight from the max. aperture setting. At 200mm there's already a drop in quality primarily at the image borders which are still good to very good though. Unfortunately things aren't all that rosy anymore at 300mm especially at f/5.6 where the quality falls apart completely. The results are very soft here. It's quite obvious that the lens has an achromatic characteristic at 300mm because the different colors of the spectrum have different focus points which is surely one cause for the softness. At f/8 the quality increases dramatically but only in the center of the image. It takes f/11 for the borders to recover to good levels. (Note: I repeated the measurements at 300mm to confirm the findings) Please note that the MTF results are not directly comparable across the different systems! Below is a simplified summary of the formal findings. The chart shows line widths per picture height (LW/PH) which can be taken as a measure for sharpness. If you want to know more about the MTF50 figures you may check out the corresponding Imatest Explanations Chromatic Aberrations (CAs)Chromatic aberrations (color shadows at harsh contrast transitions) are generally well controlled with an average CA pixel width at or below 1px at the image borders.

Photo ZoneThe Nikkor AF 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 exhibited a very good performance in the lab EXCEPT at the long end of the zoom range. At 75mm and 200mm the resolution figures are very good but beyond there’s a rapid decline in quality. At 300mm f/5.6 the results are downright soft and it takes f/11 to recover the quality to very decent levels across the frame. Distortions are a non-issue with this lens and both vignetting and CAs are well controlled. The build quality is very good and puts most of today’s consumer grade tele zooms to shame – at the price of weight which is probably too high for the general taste of the target group. Regarding the results at 300mm you may consider other options if you require good quality with a 10mp camera at this setting. … READ FULL REVIEW Other Nikon 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 AF Nikkor ReviewsKen RockwellBy all means find one of these over the new 70-300. Personally I use the smaller and faster focusing70-210 or much more expensive 80-400 because I actually own them. This 75-300 was loaned to me by a fan for testing. This is an unusually well made, well performing lens available today for a bargain price. “¦ READ FULL REVIEW Below is a short excursion into the history of Nikon Nikkor dark telephoto lenses for full-length cameras with auto focus support.

Basic information about Nikon AF Nikkor 75-300mm 1: 4.5-5.6 Nikon AF Nikkor 75-300mm 1: 4.5-5.6 - one of Nikon's first autofocus telephoto lenses. ... As befits old Nikon lenses - its manufacture is of a very high standard. This is not cheap Chinese 'plastic', but an amazing 'metal monster'. Nikon AF 75-300 / 4.5-5.6 is indeed very well made, mostly made of glass and metal, and therefore weighs just a little less than a kilogram. It's a pity that nowadays modern lens bodies are made of plastic, and lenses are becoming widely available 'consumer goods'. Length Nikon AF Nikkor 75-300mm 1: 4.5-5.6 Nikon AF 75-300 / 4.5-5.6 has a 'Full / Limit' focus limiter. In the 'Limit' position, focusing is available from infinity to 3 meters, or from 3 to 1.5 meters. In the 'Full' position, the lens uses the entire focusing distance range. To my surprise, the autofocus speed in 'Limit' mode was quite fast, and of course, in the 'Full' position the lens focuses very slowly. The focus ring is rubberized and rotates approximately 60 degrees at the 'Limit' position and 120 degrees at the 'Full' position. Most likely the fast autofocus is due to the slow travel of the focus ring, and because of this, manual focusing is not very convenient. When focusing, the front lens both rotates and extends forward - this is the lens's only serious drawback. Lens view Nikon AF Nikkor 75-300mm 1: 4.5-5.6 The zoom ring has a ribbed plastic grip. The Nikon AF 75-300 / 4.5-5.6 is a piston-type lens - in order to change the focal length, pull the ring towards you or away from you, and not rotate, as is done with conventional lenses. When you zoom in, the lens changes its size. I didn't like the fact that it is difficult to achieve smooth focal length changes with this lens, and often the zoom ring will bounce and ring hard when set to the extreme positions. And the lens also changes the focal length under its own weight (the lens trunk moves out by itself). Nikon AF Nikkor 75-300mm 1: 4.5-5.6 front lens enlightenment Nikon AF 75-300 / 4.5-5.6 has a tripod foot that rotates freely around the lens and is clamped with a special lock. The tripod foot cannot be removed from the lens. Important: the lens has an aperture control ring. In order for the lens to start working normally on modern Nikon cameras, you need to set the F / 32 value using the aperture control ring on the lens itself and fix it with a special button. This button has an orange color, it is easy to find on the lens near the iris control ring. After such a manipulation, it will be possible to control the diaphragm from the camera, like with modern lenses, in more detail in the section on .

Conclusions:Nikon AF Nikkor 75-300mm 1: 4.5-5.6 is a very interesting lens - it has an unusual appearance, fast focusing and low distortion. It's a pity, at open apertures the lens loses in sharpness to modern analogues, but photography is not rich in sharpness alone :) Material prepared Arkady Shapoval.
