Rent NowThe Nikon 1 NIKKOR VR 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 is a compact telephoto zoom lens designed for Nikon 1 CX-format mirrorless cameras. Featuring a versatile 30-110mm focal length range, equivalent to approximately 81-297mm on a full-frame camera, this lens is well suited for portraits, sports, wildlife, travel, and general telephoto photography. Its lightweight construction and extensive zoom range make it a practical option for photographers seeking additional reach without carrying a large lens.
The 30-110mm zoom range provides flexibility for photographing subjects at varying distances. At the shorter end, the lens is suitable for portraits and medium-distance compositions, while the longer focal lengths allow photographers to capture distant subjects and isolate details. Its telephoto perspective also produces background compression, helping separate subjects from their surroundings.
Equipped with Nikon’s Vibration Reduction (VR) technology, the lens helps minimize the effects of camera shake when shooting handheld. This stabilization system is particularly beneficial at longer focal lengths, where even slight camera movements can result in blurred images. The VR system also automatically detects panning movements, allowing photographers to follow moving subjects without manually changing stabilization settings.
The lens incorporates Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements designed to minimize chromatic aberrations and improve color accuracy. Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating helps reduce internal reflections, flare, and ghosting, contributing to improved contrast and image clarity when photographing scenes with bright light sources or challenging lighting conditions.
Nikon’s Internal Focusing (IF) system allows the lens to focus without extending the front portion of the barrel, helping maintain a compact design during operation. This system also contributes to responsive autofocus performance, making the lens suitable for capturing moving subjects and recording video. Its minimum focusing distance of approximately 3.3 feet allows photographers to capture detailed compositions from moderate distances.
The lens features a variable maximum aperture of f/3.8-5.6, helping maintain a compact and lightweight construction. Its telephoto focal lengths provide control over depth of field, allowing photographers to create soft background blur for portraits and subject isolation. Smaller aperture settings can be used when additional depth of field is required.
Designed with portability in mind, the 1 NIKKOR VR 30-110mm weighs approximately 6.2 ounces and measures less than 2.5 inches in length when retracted. Its retractable barrel design makes it convenient for transportation and storage, while the dedicated zoom ring provides straightforward control over focal length adjustments.
The lens uses Nikon’s 1-mount system and is compatible with Nikon 1-series mirrorless cameras, including select J, V, and S-series models. Its combination of telephoto reach, optical stabilization, compact construction, and autofocus capabilities makes it a versatile option for photographers looking to expand the capabilities of their Nikon 1 camera system.
