There is this post in Buy and Sell https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1359792/0?keyword=300,F4#12964735 with similar problem, I did find it odd and looked into it and seems some of the older versions of the lens do need to be rechipped for the D750
Yep. That's mine. Exact same problem.
No other problem with any lens that I have (or had) including: 80-200, 70-200 f4, 28 1.8, 35 f2d, 35 1.8g, 50 1.8 (both g and d versions), 80-400 g, 60 g, 60 d, 70-300 vr, 105 vr, 12-24, 180 2.8d, etc. All of those lens work just splendidly on the D750, D600, D7100, D90 (and heck even the V2 with the FT1 when I had it). In other words, I have used a wide variety of lenses on a variety of bodies without a single issue. But the 300 just won't play with the D750 while it works flawlessly with the D7100 that I currently have. And it was really a great combination with the D600 when I had it. Really a sharp lens too.
Having said that, it has got a 208xxx serial number, which places its manufacture before 2005 and probably around 2003. This makes it the oldest af-s lens that I have so . . .. The online research that I've done (as someone suggests above) calls for a chip to be replaced. I bought the lens used on the B&S board maybe 5 years ago and the af-s motor failed about 6 weeks after I got it (grrr!), so some of the electronics (the motor at least) have been replaced by APS so I'm really not sure what's in it. But as I have the 80-400, it is less of an issue for me.
It seems to me that most of the OP's lenses are not af-s? Not sure. As I've only read about one or two other cases, it really seems like an odd duck of a problem. And again, as I've had it serviced by an independent repair shop, I can't claim to know exactly what's in there. That is, I don't know if the servicing caused the incompatibility, or if the original Nikon electronics are mucking it up.
