NIKON AF-S vs AF-P: BATTLE OF THE NIKKOR 70-300MM LENSES WITH SAMPLE IMAGES.

[@falcon048]

Noise generally isn't a result of a lens, it is a result of the sensor and your ISO setting. However, the difference between the two lens are the tech used. The "P" is the type of autofocus motor. It is the Pulse Motor versus the Silent Wave motor "S". Also, the type of VR tech had improved from the S version to the P version. Putting the better VR in combination with the better autofocus motor is going to yield a sharper result from a series of shots than the S version with the older VR tech. With that said, there are some compatibility issues using AF-P lenses. The D3, D3s, D3x, D300, D300s, D700, D5200, and D7000 won't retain focus point when meter powers off. And these cameras are incompatible - D1 series, D2 series, D40 series, D50, D60, D70 series, D80, D90, D100, D200, D3000, D3100, D3200, D5000, D5100. I would also take that into account before deciding which lens to get.

So if using d3200 i am supposed to get afs ryt?

[@falcon048]

@@mduduzimota3599 not with the AF-P version of the lens. This is because the 3200 does not have the software or processing to send commands to the lens to control the pulse motor. You would have to get the AF-S version that has the Silent Wave Motor that the camera can communicate with.

[@denniskimbugwe]

@falcon048 Thank You So Much for the response and information. @MoreTar's World, to answer your earlier comment, no, the D3200 is not compatible with the AF-P DX or FX (shown in the video) Lenses for the reasons @falcon048 mentioned above. Greetings and stay safe, CDR 😊

[@ruff1draft]

Great Photography and great review. Keep them coming Peace and blessings.

[@ronspi]

You are incorrect. BOTH lenses are Full Frame and not DX. There's a 70-300mm DX lens, but you're not reviewing it. The AF-S was the first version. The AF-P has the stepper motor (Edit: the stepping motor is a faster and quiet one, allowing for smoother auto-focus shift while taking videos) inside the lens and new electronic diaphragm. if you don't use the camera for video, you won't feel the difference between the two lenses. If you do, you'll be able to hear the auto-focus motor adjusting in your video. Kind of annoying, but if you edit the video and place a different audio track, it will solve the issue. Both lenses are very good, and if you place them on a DX body, they will behave like a 105-450mm lens equivalent. Both lenses are at their sharpest zone at F8, and if placed on a tripod with remote shutter, you can get amazing shots of nature and landscape. Those lenses are not the best for portraits, but if you have your subject far from you and you use at least 100mm settings, you can get a good space compression and a nice creamy background. No, it is not like a Prime lens, but it is a great light and very capable lens. Other than that, a very nice video.

[@ronspi]

@@denniskimbugwe Insulting? I would never do it. You made a 'flow' error, you didn't blow up a building (the wrong building) :-). Keep taking pictures and stay creative wherever you are. Document time because things will never be the same the next time to press the shutter. Keep posting.

[@denniskimbugwe]

Hello there Bob, Sorry for the late response and I hope you are well. The particular DX lens I have is not that sharp but that could be because of how long it has been used and the different conditions it has been subjected to. I do believe that a brand new or well maintained DX version of this lens can be sharp. I hope this helps, Greetings, CDR 😊

TUESDAY, MAY 12TH, 2020 06:59PM (SAST). This video has been edited to remove some misinformation about the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED. WEDNESDAY, MAY 6TH, 2020 02:33PM (SAST). Hello there guys, I hope you are well especially during this difficult time of COVID-19. I apologize, something happened and all my responses were removed from the comment section which means all corrections and information I shared over the course of a year on this particular video are gone. One important thing about this particular video is that I made a mistake when I referred to the specific AF-S 70-300mm lens I have and used in my video as a DX Lens. Please know that even though it is an FX lens as well, my verdict still stands and I believe the AF-P is the much better choice in my opinion. One of the most useful comments on this thread with regards to the correction of my mistake is one from RON SPI which I pinned at the top, please read it and I hope you find it helpful. Another is a link: www.nikonimgsupport.com/eu/BV_article?articleNo=000035705&configured=1&lang=en_GB which help you determine if your Nikon camera is compatible with any of the NIKKOR AF-P Lenses, please feel free to check it out. I hope this comment is helpful and again I apologize for the misinformation and mistake I made when making this video. Cheers, Chris Dennis Rosenberg.

[@jpg_sig10]

I've owned and used both of these lenses, on my old Nikon D300, and extensively, on my Nikon D7200 and D7500 DX DSLR bodies. The newer AF-P E VR FX zoom lens just simply stomps the older AF-S G VR FX zoom lens. The newer AF-P E VR FX zoom lens is lighter in weight, focuses faster, has better VR, and is much sharper than the older AF-S G VR FX zoom lens, especially from 200mm to 300mm. That's all that needs to be said. If you have a compatible DX and/or FX DSLR body, buy the newer AF-P E VR FX zoom lens. You'll be very glad that you did. Good things! 👍

Both lenses reviewed are FX, but there's actually a DX version of the AFP lens, which I would buy to use on a DX camera, because it's cheaper and also a sharp lens. The only reason to go for the FX is if you own an FX camera or plan to upgrade to one someday.

The AF-S FX version is more compatible with the NIKON D3300 but if you can work around the technicalities with the AF-P, you could go for the AF-P since it is the more future proof decision.

Hello Prasad, In my opinion and in conjunction with my Nikon D5600, the Nikkor AF-P 70-300MM lens produces sharper images. I also believe the Nikkor AF-P would be a good combination with your Nikon D5300, however there are a few steps you have to take and those all have to do with updating your firmware on the Nikon D5300. According to Photography Life, this is the compatibility table for the AF-P FX lens : Fully compatible models: D850, D500, D7500, D5600, D3400. Fully compatible models (without limitations) after available firmware update: D5, D4, D4S, D810, D810A, D800, D800E, Df, D750, D610, D600, D7200, D7100, D5500, D5300, D3300. Compatible models with limited functions: D3, D3X, D3S, D700, D300, D300S, D7000, D5200. Incompatible models: D2 series, D1 series, D200, D100, D90, D80, D70 series, D60, D50, D40 series, D5100, D5000, D3200, D3100, D3000, film SLR cameras. I hope this helps you! CDR 😊

The afs 70-300 is a fx lens 🙈

[@demarcusdavis1257]

The NIkon 70-300 comes in both a DX and FX version. In fact, Nikon currently has FIVE 70-300 zoom lenses on the market (2 DX and 3 FX). There's the older AF 70-300 (FX), one AF-S (FX), and three AF-P (2 DX and 1 FX).

@@denniskimbugwe don't worry mate easily done there's so many variations it only caught my attention as I had the lens in the video and thought I'd mention 😊

[@demarcusdavis1257]

@@denniskimbugwe No worries. The information you gave still pertains. Nikon makes it confusing by having FIVE zoom lenses of the same focal length (four which are in current production). The latest "E" version (the one you recommended) is still the best of this group optically, is an FX lens, STILL at $600 (currently on sale for $550).

Hello RyanxBraxton, Thank you so much for your comment and yes I made a mistake in my video, while there are a few versions of the 70-300mm lens from NIKON, the AF-S version I reviewed in my video is FX and so I apologize for the misinformation. However, this fact still changes nothing for me, and my recommendation still stands, I believe the AF-P is a better lens and is, therefore, my recommendation between the two. There is a really useful comment from Ron Spi that I recommend you read. Greetings, CDR 😊

fake information brother, currently using both of them ,,,actually, the AF-S if ed vr version is performing far better then the afp version ,,,,,,

[@denniskimbugwe]

Thank you for your feedback but please watch the video carefully. This is my experience with two lenses that I have had for different periods of time with different histories. If we were testing the same exact bodies, it might be considered fake information but seeing as this is my experience of two lenses with their own histories, the information shared in the video remains true. Thanks again and cheers.

[@Azhar77m2]

Brother im currently using d7200 and d750......both cases 70-300 if Ed producing better, sharper results ,....don't know it seems like your 70-300 if Ed is not well calibrated

[@denniskimbugwe]

You are right, it is my version of the lens.

[@the_original_skytiger]

You might want to get your information straight before you feel you can pass it on to others. These are both FX lenses, genius.

[@denniskimbugwe]

There is absolutely no need for animosity, it is completely possible for you to correct me without being mean. I became aware of the fact and I have done everything I can to correct my mistake, had you taken the steps necessary to read information around this video you would know that and surely you can see that you aren't the first one to notice that, there have been others and they have been tasteful in their delivery. Learning is a process and no one knows it all, if this was so easy, you would be making this video instead of watching mine. There are many iterations of the 70-300mm from Nikon and I made a mistake about the specific one I have for which I have apologised countless times but it appears I have to do it again, I am sorry for the misinformation, I made a huge mistake but even then, my recommendation still stands, the AF-P is a much better purchase. Thanks for your input but your bitterness towards me is unfounded, very few of us set out to intentionally mislead people and even fewer own up to their mistakes, I didn't chose to make this mistake to hurt people, it was just that, a mistake!!!

I am sure you heard the sections in the video where I spoke about the history of my particular version of the AF-S lens and how those factors may have contributed to me getting those results. I compared the lenses I had, no provided by Nikon out of the box etc but the lenses that I had and I shared the results while acknowledging the different factors that may have made the AF-S underperform.
