Verdict
The Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4D IF-ED is one of the few near-flawless lenses
tested so far. The resolution figures are generally excellent and
distortions and vignetting are basically negligible. CAs are very
well under control. Adding a Nikkor AF-S 1.4x only results in a moderate
decrease in resolution (about one school mark). The mechanical quality
of the Nikkor is exceptionally high and it was a joy to use this lens in
the field. Highly recommended!
