What are the nice gray lenses that the professional photographers use for nikon DSLR?

Well what i'm trying to look for is that i see these professional photographers with these gray lenses and i think they are telephoto zoom lenses but I know they have them for Canon but i'm trying to figure out what they are exactly called for Nikon DSLR?

Nikon doesn't paint their professional lenses gray, only Canon does.

I think it's a good think, black isn't very noticeable. I also have a black neck strap, without the yellow Nikon logo on it, so people don't notice me:

1. When taking pictures
2.Having expansive machinery

They are the VERY expensive lenses…

look on the online websites for details…

There's a pretty large variety of lenses available for Nikon DSLR's. You're probably thinking of either a high power zoom (ranging from 55-200mm to 200-400mm) or super telephoto lens (300-600mm).

They are available on bestbuy.com and range from $3000 to over $10, 000.It's excessive unless you are taking pictures of a extremely far away objects and need it to be magazine quality. Yes, they are telephoto lenses. Tamron makes them so they will fit on a nikon also. They are white, not gray. If you are taking pictures for leisure, check out something like a 75-300mm zoom lens. It is suitable for nearly any long distance situation. Just remember a tripod no matter which lens you buy. The further you zoom, the steadier your camera needs to be.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Are you asking about the color of the lens assemble (plastic grip rings) or the apparent color of the glass part of the lens? If you are talking about the actual glass and it is gray, then it is a filter. (The color of the mounting has no effect on the image.) There are two types of gray filters. Most likely (if that is the case) it is either a polarizing filter or a neutral density filter. The purpose of the latter (and) is to reduce the amount of light coming in the lens to allow the use of a larger lens aperture or slower shutter speed to achieve the effect the photographer wants. If it is a polarizer it is used to affect reflections from non-metallic objects or to affect the rendering of a blue sky. Since both types of filters affect all colors the same these filters may be used with either color or black and white films and (in B&W) either orthochromatic (not red sensitive) or panchromatic (sensitive to all visual colors) films.

If you are talking about the lens mountings, unless there's a manufacturers marketing plan, the color means nothing. (Racing stripes on an old chevvy does not mean it will win races.) The thing to do is to learn as much about your art and equipment as possible and how to get the pictures you want. It is not the equipment that you use that produces outstanding photographs, it is the guy behind the camera.

That was me, I bought a 1980 300mm that had been in a wreck and slapped some Bondo and primer on it.

There WAS a time when Nikon offered a few of their pro-level lenses in a choice of black or gray. You may have seen one of those. As far as I know, they have adapted the Henry Ford approach to lens color. Any color you want, so long as it's black.

Wow! I can't believe how many people answered that question while I looked at nikonusa just to be sure I didn't see any gray lenses!

I may as well add some info. The reason for the light color lens barrels is supposedly to keep them cooler when shooting outdoors. This is why you only see it on the larger lenses. I may be mistaken about this, but I think it was originally a "workaround" for the delicate fluorite glass found in some elements of Canon's higher priced lenses. They found out the hard way that they too much heat inside the lens caused the fluorite element(s) to crack. This is why the gray barrel was only seen on the really big, high end lenses. Canon has since developed a new fluorite glass to overcome this problem, but the popularity of the gray lenses continues - probably because they brand the user as a professional

The gray Nikon lenses were limited editions. They are hard to find and more expensive than their black counterparts of the same focal length.

The AF-S 28-70mm f/2.8D ED is one example that was made in gray. Another is the Nikon AF-S 300mm f/4 IF ED. I don't know if they have a special name or catalog number.

A couple of examples are on eBay as I write this answer:
