Professional Wide-Angle Optics

Constant f/4 Maximum Aperture: Provides consistent illumination and performance throughout the entire zoom range, from ultra-wide 16mm to a natural 35mm perspective.

Advanced Glass Elements: Three aspherical elements and two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements work together to virtually eliminate distortion and chromatic aberrations, ensuring sharp, accurate rendering.

Nano Crystal Coat: This professional-grade coating suppresses internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for superior color accuracy in harsh lighting.

9-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: Produces a smooth, pleasing out-of-focus quality, ideal for selective focus techniques.

Stability and Precision

VR II Image Stabilization: Nikon’s Vibration Reduction system compensates for up to 2.5 stops of camera shake, a critical feature for achieving sharp handheld shots in low-light interiors.

Silent Wave Motor (SWM): Provides fast, quiet, and highly accurate autofocus. The internal focusing design ensures the lens length remains constant during operation.

Full-Time Manual Override: Allows for instant manual focus adjustments even when the lens is in autofocus mode.

Condition Notes (Read Carefully)
This lens shows signs of use and age that are common with professional field equipment:

Internal Dust: There is visible dust inside the lens elements. One specific speck in the center is larger than the others; however, in our testing, these particles do not appear in images or affect the final output.

Focus Ring Wear: There is noticeable cosmetic wear on the rubber manual focus ring.

Missing Accessories: This unit does not include the lens hood.
