Safeguard your lens with the Lens Cover for Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G VR AF from LensCoat. This water-resistant neoprene cover is custom-built to fit tightly around your lens, and helps protect it against bumps and scratches that may occur while you are out shooting. The neoprene material also acts as a thermal barrier between your hands and the lens, making operation more comfortable in extreme heat or cold.

To install the cover, simply slide it onto the lens until it fits correctly. Removing it is just as easy, and allows for switching covers quickly while out in the field. An additional piece can also be installed via hook-and-loop fasteners once the lens is zoomed to 300mm, providing complete coverage even when the lens barrel is fully extended.

For simplified operation, the cover features two plastic windows that can be used for viewing the distance scale and auto-focus setting. This version comes in a solid black color. This product is made in the USA.

Q: 6. Can I use this lens in my Nikon D610 with a Nikon teleconverter?

A: The Nikon 28-300mm lens is compatible with the D610. Though, Unfortunately, there isn't a teleconverter that can be used with the 28-300mm lens. Lenses that have a wide angle, have a lens construction where the rear element sticks out far more than a lens that has a 50mm or longer focal length. For this reason, lenses that have focal lengths wider than 50mm are not typically compatible with teleconverters, even if you could fit one on the back of the lens, you would again seriously risk damaging the rear element of the lens.

Q: 9. Is this lens macro capable? The equivalent Tamron lens is labeled as Macro but this one isn't. However, the close focusing distance is within 1cm of the Tamron.

A: No, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Zoom Lens is not a macro lens. The lens has a magnification of 0.32x and a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:3. A true macro lens has a 1.0x magnification and a 1:1 reproduction ratio. The lens does have a minimum focus distance of 1.64' (50 cm), but the lens' magnification and reproduction ratio is what denotes a lens as a macro lens.

Q: 10. I have a D-600 and would also like to use my Teleconverter (1.7x) with this lens and camera, will it work? I know the Tele doesn't work with the 24-70 Nikon lens, but will it work with the 28-300?

A: You wouldn't be able to use a teleconverter with the 28-300mm lens. Lenses that have a wide angle have a lens construction where the rear element sticks out far more than lenses that have a 50mm or longer focal length. For this reason, lenses that have focal lengths wider than 50mm are not typically compatible with teleconverters. Even if you could fit one on the back of the lens, you would risk seriously damaging the rear element of the lens and the teleconverter itself.
