The lens has an F-mount to work with all the SLRs line of cameras (except the early 70-300G with the D40), although the more recent AF-P lenses will not focus on film SLRs or older DSLRs (roughly before 2013).
The lens comes in seven different versions:
* AF 4-5.6G
* AF 4-5.6D
* AF 4-5.6D ED
* AF-S 4.5-5.6G IF-ED
* AF-P 4.5-6.3G IF-ED DX
* AF-P 4.5-6.3G IF-ED DX VR
* AF-P 4.5-5.6E IF-ED VR
It is the successor of the 70-210 lens, which targets the prosumer market, one grade lower than 80-200mm with large aperture.
Introduced in August 2006, the current incarnation of the lens (AF-S VR 4.5-5.6G IF-ED) improves on the original with VR stabilization technology as well as with internally focusing components (IF). More expensive than its partner 55-200mm lens, its construction is similar, with the exterior shell being fabricated from plastic components. This is extremely lightweight telephoto lens. It also shares a similarly stiff zoom ring with the 55-200mm, although a side benefit of this is that zoom creep is eliminated. Unlike the 55-200, the 70-300mm lens is full-frame. Also, the longer barrel length allowed the focus ring to be relocated in front of the zoom ring, making manual focus operations simpler.
