Is the nikon af s 300mm f 4e pf ed vr good for video?

I don't have a video test of this lens, so I can't speak to its autofocus smoothness or focus breathing on camera. From the specs, it has autofocus and stabilisation, and at 300mm and f/4 it's small and light for its reach. That makes it a sensible choice for filming wildlife or sport from a distance, where a long lens earns its keep.

It's the wrong tool for vlogging. Talking-head work wants something around 16-20mm full-frame equivalent, as the video guide explains. Whatever lens you use, budget for sound first, as covered in the audio section.

It fits a range of bodies. On full frame, the Nikon D850 and Nikon D780 are good places to start. On APS-C, the Nikon D7500 gives you roughly 450mm equivalent, which is handy for distant subjects.
