Telephoto Reach & Optical Clarity
Versatile Zoom Range: The long focal lengths are ideal for isolating subjects from busy backgrounds, making it a favorite for outdoor portraiture and nature photography.
ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass: The optical design features one ED element that significantly reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing, ensuring your images remain sharp and color-accurate across the entire zoom range.
Super Integrated Coating (SIC): Nikon’s specialized multi-layer coating suppresses internal reflections, flare, and ghosting, maintaining high contrast and rich colors even when shooting in bright or backlit environments.
7-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: The aperture is designed to produce a pleasing out-of-focus quality, allowing for smooth background bokeh that makes your subjects stand out.
Performance & Stability
Vibration Reduction (VR): This lens features Nikon’s VR image stabilization, which compensates for camera shake by up to three stops. This allows you to capture crisp handheld shots at longer focal lengths or in challenging low-light conditions.
Silent Wave Motor (SWM): Equipped with an SWM for fast, precise, and nearly silent autofocus. This quiet operation is essential for candid photography and video recording.
Internal Focusing (IF): The IF design ensures that only the internal lens groups move during focusing, meaning the lens maintains its physical length and provides faster overall focus speeds.
Manual Focus Override: For total creative control, you can instantly override the autofocus system by simply turning the manual focus ring—no switches required.
Condition Note
Optical Condition: Please be advised that this lens has fungus around the outer edge of the middle element. While this can impact contrast in certain lighting conditions, the lens remains functional. It is recommended for use in controlled environments or as a cost-effective option for those who do not mind minor optical imperfections.
