## **Professional Telephoto Set: Nikon ED AF-I Nikkor 300mm F2.8 D IF with CT-302 Trunk Case**

This is an auction for a legendary piece of professional sports and wildlife glass: the **Nikon AF-I Nikkor 300mm f/2.8D IF-ED** lens, complete with its dedicated original aluminum trunk case and accessories. The AF-I version is highly sought after as Nikon's first super-telephoto lens to feature a built-in autofocus motor.

### **Lens Features & Optical Excellence**

* **Model:** Nikon ED AF-I Nikkor 300mm F2.8 D IF
* **Focal Length:** Fixed 300mm (Ideal for demanding sports, action, and nature photography)
* **Maximum Aperture:** Extremely fast **f/2.8**, providing exceptional light gathering for low-light conditions and superior subject isolation with beautiful bokeh.
* **Optics:** Features **ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass** to correct chromatic aberration, delivering incredibly sharp images with high contrast.
* **Autofocus System:** Utilizes the original **AF-I (Autofocus-Internal)** motor, which provides fast, reliable, and relatively quiet autofocus performance.
* **Focusing:** **IF (Internal Focusing)** mechanism ensures the lens length does not change during focusing, maintaining balance and quick operation.
* **Construction:** Robust, professional-grade, all-metal construction built to withstand rigorous use in the field.

### **Condition and Complete Set Inclusion**

The lens is presented as a complete professional set, which significantly adds to its value and collectability.

* **Nikon ED AF-I Nikkor 300mm F2.8 D IF Lens**
* **Nikon CT-302 Hard Aluminum Trunk Case:** The original, heavy-duty hard case (tan/orange color) designed specifically for this lens, providing the ultimate protection for transport and storage. *The inclusion of the original case is a major asset.*
* **Nikon HE-4 Lens Hood:** The large, dedicated hood for minimizing flare and protecting the front element.
* **Soft Front Lens Cover/Case**
* **Case Strap** (Appears to be the original leather-trimmed Nikon strap for the trunk case)
* **Trunk Case Keys**

**Condition Note:** This is a vintage professional workhorse lens. While the overall presentation is impressive, the condition should be assessed based on the detailed photos, particularly the glass surfaces and mechanical operation.
