However, the lack of PF elements doesn’t change the fact that the 400mm f/4.5 is a relatively small, light lens. It slides in nicely with the PF lenses already in Nikon’s lineup. Here’s how it compares to those lenses in weight, length, and front filter thread size: 300mm f/4 PF: 755 grams (1.7 lbs), 148mm long (5.8 inches), 77mm filters.
Nikon 300mm f/4D AF-S vs Nikon 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G VR Conclusion Although both lenses seem to perform well at 300mm and 420mm focal lengths when stopped down to f/8, as demonstrated in the above charts, I would still recommend the Nikon 300mm f/4D over the 80-400mm lens for two main reasons – autofocus performance/accuracy and better reach. Price on Used Market: ~$300–400 USD. Value at $300 USD: 4. Accessories: Great with PN-11 Extension Tube, usable with TC-200/201, TC-300/301 Teleconverter. Nikon users are blessed with a history of good 300mm lenses, perhaps none so physically attractive as the solid metal construction and silky smooth focusing of Nikon’s smallest, the Nikon AF-S 80-400mm F4.5-5.6G VR.
