Lens Talk / Re: The AF-S NIKKOR 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR, a superlens indeed
« Last post by Macro_Cosmos on May 04, 2026, 18:48:00 »Good to know.I did use it with a monopod for a few recent hikes. Unfortunately, I was not able to get that many good photos. I miss my 500mm PF.
Having the 120mm end of the zoom range available would appear to make this a versatile tool for hikes etc, where you might find yourself closer to your subject than a 300mm could work with
Out of interest, do you think you'd ever use a monopod or other support with it?
Here are a couple of handheld videos.

These were straight out of the camera with a flat profile. A few minutes in DaVinci Studio would have brought it to life. I am incredibly pleased with the result.
When I move, I will try the germicidal lamp fungus method and seal it shut in a big ziploc bag to store in my dry cabinet. I may try to contact Nikon China or Japan to see if they can fix it for a more reasonable price. $3300 is outrageous for a front element swap that I can do myself.
