The LensCoat Lens Cover for the Nikon AF-S 55-300mm f/4-5.6 G ED VR telephoto lens in forest green offers your valuable equipment some protection from scrapes and bumps, preserving its resale value. It also helps break up the shape of your lens, making it less noticeable to wildlife while also making it more comfortable to hold. This cover maintains access to the auto focus and a notch on the last segment lines up with the white dot indicator, making it easy to quickly line up your lens with the camera mount, even with the cover installed. A lens barrel piece with a hook-and-loop closure is included to cover the fixed portion of the lens barrel when it is fully extended.

Q: 4. I am looking ahead to purchasing a prime telephoto lens to supplement my 70-200 lens, which is very good but does not reach the pristine quality at the outer ranges at a prime lens are supposed to offer. The 300 2.8 is a logical choice but, frankly, recent reviews have been especially critical, citing the inability to front focus and are troubling. One reviewer even acknowledged that Nikon has been unable to fix the problem, despite repeated attempts. Meanwhile, reviews of the 200 2.0 are universally stellar, with not one complaint to be found. Aside from the primary differences -- 200 vs. 300 and 2.0 to 2.8 -- would a better choice be the 200 supplemented with a 1.4 or 2.0 converter to achieve greater distances. Is there a downside, minor or otherwise, to using extenders. (Would a 1.4 give me 300 meters, and a 2.0 reach 400?) Both lenses are about the same size and weight and fall in the same price range, but performance is paramount with such a pricey piece of glass.

A: If you already have the 70-200mm VRII 2.8, then why are you even considering the 200mm F/2.0, unless you are a very specialized portrait photographer then I would understand that it is not truly the reach nor the speed of the lens that you are after but the creamy background and all that poetic internet talk of ones who basically have not published a single photo taken by their very expensive lenses. The 300mm 2.8 VRII is an outstanding piece of optics, the shape of the barrel is more natural than walking around with the weird looking 200mm lens, which will attract more attention than wanted, it is truly made for action photography as well as portraits especially outdoors, needless to say that if you love landscape and can hire someone to carry it for on your next hike, you will adore the shots you take once you 're back home. Bottom line, the reach of a 300 is far better than the 200, as well as adding an extender is good for still shots that is why I got the 2.0 one for the very rare occasion of using it, but the lens is made to be used solo. Lenses I own: 14-24mm, 24mm 1.4, 58mm1.4, 105mm VR, 70-200mmVRII, 300mmVRII2.8, two nikon bodies D3s & D4, /// Sony A7RII with 55mm 1.8 lens for traveling, so you got the picture that I was in the same dilemma as you then I started to take photos and blocked my self from reading too much for all those experts out there. I hope this was of any help to you.

Q: 5. Will this lens work with two TCs stacked, on a D7200? Thanks.

A: It is not possible to stack 2 Nikon teleconverters. A better option would be to use this Tamron 150-600: https://bhpho.to/3fRqqTe Plus this 2x: https://bhpho.to/2Rgnllj The result would be manual focus only but it would reach the 1200mm range.

Q: 6. Will this lens AF with Nikon TC17E-II ( 1.7X ) on a D7100 ?

A: There is a chance autofocus will be lost, though you should be able to retain autofocus with the TC17E-II on the D7100 with this lens.

Q: 7. How does one protect the front element of this lens if there is no provision for a screw in UV filter?

A: Hi John. The Nikkor 300mm f2.8 lens is quite large at the distal end 5 to 6 inches in diameter, too large for a screw on UV protective filter like I use on my other lenses. Nikon includes a lens shroud to put at the end of the lens which keeps out most foreign objects but does not protect from dust or from directly touching the lens. When not in use you can store the lens in its Nikon included case or leave it on your camera in a bag big enough to accommodate it like a PortaBrace bag that has lots of protective padding. Hope this helps. Matt

A: Works very well
