Overview
This compact and highly versatile 5.3x zoom includes Nikon's VR image stabilization technology and delivers incredible optical performance.
Highlights
- Compact, 5.3x wide-angle-to-medium telephoto zoom, ideal for a broad range of shooting situations from interiors and landscapes to beautiful portraits
- Nikon VR II (Vibration Reduction) Image Stabilization, engineered specifically for each VR NIKKOR lens, enables handheld shooting at up to 4 shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper still images and video capture.
- Exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables accurate, high-speed and quiet autofocus operation.
- Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) offers superior color performance and substantially reduced ghosting and flare.
- Rounded 7-blade diaphragm for more natural appearance of out-of-focus image elements.
- Optical design optimized for use with Nikon DX-format digital SLRs for superior performance.
- Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements offer superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration.
- Three aspherical lens elements virtually eliminate coma and other types of lens aberration even when used at the widest aperture.
- Close focusing distance to 1.3 feet throughout the entire zoom range
- Picture angle equivalent to focal length of 24-127.5mm (in 35mm format).
