AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f2.8G using in Nikon D5100? - 1
Can I able to use Nikkor 300mm FX single focal length lense in DX Nikon D5100? What are the disadvanges?
Of course you can. It's a big, heavy lens with a limited angle-of-view.
When you need something this powerful, though, there's no substitute.
It is the perfect lens for shooting sports or wildlife in low light conditions.
Here is a sample shot using that lens on a D300. The extra reach you get using a camera with an APS-C sensor is what makes this lens and your camera a good match.
Remember if you use a tripod or monopod to mount it to the lens, NOT the camera.
Yes. This disadvantage is you can't hand hold it.
