For anyone with a newer Nikon DX DSLR or mirrorless camera, Maple Leaf Photos has a fantastic deal for the AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 VR ED Lens for $169.00 where other places will retail a new Canadian warrantied lens for $400. Normally, I don’t recommend grey market products considering the small price difference but this price difference is too much to ignore at more than 1/2 price.

I have to stress the following points:

1. As an AF-P lens, they are only compatible with newish Nikon bodies. The older bodies will simply not work at all. See the following link for a list of compatible bodies – Can I use an AF-P lens with my Nikon camera? . Note that this list was published by Nikon in 2017 so anything newer will work.
2. This is a DX lens . You can use it on a full frame camera but it will be in DX mode.
3. The focusing speed is incredible compared to the previous AF-S lenses – almost instant.
4. This is a grey market product so no warranty from Nikon Canada. Maple Leaf Photo is offering a 1 year warranty .
5. The optical performance of the lens is much better than previous generations.
6. You can’t even get it cheaper in the US! B&H sells it for $189 CDN!
7. It comes in a white box with only bubble wrap around the lens but from what I can see, the lens is brand new – no marks, not scratches.

Edit: I forgot to mention that there’s a coupon code of “SAVE10” that worked for me to bring the price down to $159.
