p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Which zoom lenses have non-extending barrel?


Which Nikon zoom lenses, other than the 80-200 and 70-200 have a fixed barrel with the zoom taking place internally? Canon has, or had, a 28-300 f/3.5 - f/5.6 (I think that's correct) that looks more like a 70-200. I haven't been able to find a Nikon equivalent.I sometimes have to put my lens up against a chain link fence when shooting sports, which can cause the lens to get pushed back into a wider angle. A fixed barrel would eliminate that problem.

The 70-200 f/4 and the 18-35 (and, I'm sure, others).

I know there is the 24-70 as well. I forgot to mention that I was inquiring about zoom lenses up to 300mm.

Actually, the 24-70 f2.8 lens does extend. It is just hidden inside the lens hood so you don't notice it.

The barrel on the 24-70 actually does extend, however this is usually hidden by the lens hood which mounts to the outer barrel section. The 14-24 works in a similar manner, except of course the hood is fixed in this case.

The Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 doesn't extend, not sure about the Nikkors.

One of these days I'd love to get one of those Sigma 120-300 lenses. The new ones are too expensive for me. Maybe I'll get lucky and find an older one that's in my price range.
